Hi all,
I am new to the Forum and have a question for you.
What is the standard practice for accounting for potential schedule impacts that may lead to a delay? Specifically, when do you add the Impact activity into the logic network? I have been asked to do two different methods over my years of experience - 1) Add an Impact activity when an unforeseen situation causes the need for work stoppage or moving to another location of the work out of sequence, or 2) Do not add time to the schedule until approved by change order. There have been cases where each of these scenarios has had its place, but I have never been certain what the standard practice is.
Another question is - Is the "potential impact" activity added with an estimated duration assigned, or should it be allowed to accrue day-for-day until it ends?
Your advice and methodology is appreciated.
