Hi guys, I want to make a recovery program from the latest updated program (not the baseline program, but the baseline program with actuals already) in order to meet the deadline. I'm using the columns Earned Value Labor Units (for Actual Progress %) vs. Planned Value Labor Units (for Planned Progress %) columns to compute my progress percentages. Take note that I use the Budgeted Labor Units column to see the total assigned Labor Units on each activities.
Now, I will make a copy of the latest updated program (with actuals) so it will be my recovery program. I will change the original and remaining duration of the not started and in progress activities to meet the original deadline.
Know the problem is the revised originial and remaining duration of these changed activities affects the column Earned Value Labor Units (it's a mess and this is my real problem) and also I'm finding difficulty in changing the dates so it will meet the original finish date (this is manageble).
Is it better to manage the calculation of this Earned Value Labor Units, Planned Value Labor Units, Physical % and Schedule % outside of Primavera once you will do an update on the prepared recovery program which came from the latest updated program? Then just create user defined column and put the values computed in Excel?
This is the same scenario when I am making a revised program.
My friend told me that when ever he will prepare a recovery program, he will start from scratch, and he will just put the actual start and finish of the latest updated program to the planned start and planned finish of the newly created program. I told him, this is impossible if you have thousands activities.
