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.

Hello Guys,

 

Can any body please tell the difference between Resource Deependent & Task Dependent for an activity and how & where it affects the Schedule (i.e., at Original duration & at resource levelling)?

Hi,

I wrote an article to explain What is the difference between Activity type: Task Dependent and Resource Dependent in Primavera P6.

Hello Alex,

 

Thanks for your respond..

Basically i know the concept of that,but i want to know will there any change in the original duration by keeping the activity as resource dependent & if we want to level the resources what affect it will show in project completion?

 

Because in the above example you said like as per the task dependent the activity will work on mon-fri but resource will be off on wed.. so on which basis the activity will calculate the original duration?

Dear Alexandre,

 

In resource dependent, why Sat and Sun. are considered off days, this means the program will consider 3 days off (Wed. for the resource and two days for the task), is it logic?
