(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.

PP,

When a change is approved, what is the best way to introduce it into the P5 schedule?

Does the baseline programme need updating as well as the current programme (with new activities, resources expenses)?

Karim,

As i understand it, you copy the revised basline programme, then import the current as-built programme into it as an update, thus changing it into the nrew as-built programme?

After adding the additional activities in the baseline schedule u now have Rev. 1 of it, your As-built schedule should be having the same activities as of Rev. 1 of the baseline (Either u copy/paste Rev. 1 of the baseline schedule and use the copy as your As-built OR
u add the additional activities manually to the As-built).

After that u can use the update function in calibrating the assigned budgeted units between the baseline and the As-built schedule instead of doing it manually.

Regards,
Karim

Agreed changes to the baseline need adding as costed activities to the baseline programme. How do you then make sure they are in the as-built?

By adding manually to the as-built, or by using som form of update function in P5?

Hi Oliver, as karim has mentioned u can insert three types of activities into the new program:

1. DELAYED EVENETS: All activities in which there is a delay impact by client and will straight way lead to increase in time of project.

2. NEW PLANNED EVENTS: New change orders based on EI or PMI and can insert these new activities straight into the program

3. MITIGATE EVENTS: All activities for which contractor can mitigate the impacted delays.

Hope I am clear

Cheers,

Raviraj

U can use the As-built schedule and incorporate the additional activities in it or use the As-planned schedule and incorporate the additional activities in it (and later on update it to reflect the actual dates & progress % till the data date of the claim).

Either can be used based on the method u adapt in getting the approval of the time claim (As-built vs. As-planned or Impacted As-planned...).

Regards,
Karim

For me if a time claim is approved, then I revise the original baseline (eg. making rev. 1 from rev. 0), thus having two (or more) baselines attached to the updated schedule.
