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.

Hi P3 Masters,

Here is my question, i have a detailed schedule and one activity say activity ’A’ has a orig duration of 20 days. It starts and after 5 days with 20 percent completion some problems happened were the consultant ask to suspend this activity. After 10 days problems was solve thus activity resumes but again after 7 days with 60 percent completion another problem happened and it must be suspended again but P3 allows one time suspension only, it is loaded with wt. % and resources, so what is the best way to do in P3 scheduling without affecting BCWS and BCWP.


Thanks...

Personally, if you are instructed to suspend an activity, IMHO I would introduce a new activity to cover the period of suspension.

The suspend feature in P3 is not at all visible, and if you ever need to retrace events to justify (for example) an EOT claim, it would be very easy to miss.
