Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

For the huge project that consist more than 10,000 activities, how to check the relationship and data on each activities everytime the contractor submit the weekly updated programme? I mean to check are they really manipulate the programme in order to make good in the progress.

If you are using P3, for checking only one schedule (the Baseline Schedule) there is only one software; SA Pro.

For checking two P3 schedules to see the difference, there are three software packages,

SA Pro

Claim Digger (now surprisingly sold by Primavera in completion with their other ‘approved’ partners.)

Primaplan Investigator

If you are using P3e or P3e/c, then the choices is Claim Digger (built-in with the Version 4.0 but cannot be used by Interbase Users) and Schedule Analyzer for the Enterprise.

The most painful part is preparation of the program for the first time. Once it has been agreed by all the parties you should obtain the soft copy.

As I understand your primary concern is Manipulation by the Contractor. Well! I will breakdown your concerns into following areas:

Activity Data : Especially Original duration
Lags Data : Pred, Succ connections, type of lag, duration
Progress Data : Activity, Progress %, Rem Durn etc.


Without resorting to any fancy software export the data in similar way all the time to excel.

Arrange the columns in similar way such as sorted on Pred, Succ

Bring the update data in similar way and post it in the same sheet

subtract the doubtful columns to find the change


If there is any modification you will be able to see it in no time at all

Claim Digger only spot the difference between projects. If you want to check any manipulation for progress, refer to export P3 data into database. Define your checking rules into steps and validate the data.

Did You try with Dig claimer?
It look like is working with P3 but has some problems with P3e.

If You go in Winter web page has also produced some schedule analyzer (also working with P3e) that may help you.
