(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.
Hii,
Anyone gettibng pressure from Company to move away from WBS to using solely Activity Codes?
I know primavera/oracle have been pushing this but don't know how far this has gone.
Usually non-planners push this type of change.

For me, the value lies in linking the schedule to the estimate/budget. If your estimate/budget is not organized by project WBS, there is little additional value over activity codes - except that P6 seems to really like using a WBS.
No suggestion that any schedule not be fully integrated - resource loaded - with Estimating and Accounting. In other words, IMHO, all schedules should be resource loaded and therefore rely on a fully developed WBS - use activity codes whenever the need arises. It is not an either/or, but rather what is appropriate.
All schedules should be resource loaded from a source external to the planner/scheduler and this source be cited in the Schedule Basis.

you can easily map your wbs to use activity code instead, just excel and the use of the sdk
Hi Martin,

No pressure at my end. Yet. Seems to be common practice to use WBS elements.
