Over the years I have seen many articles, discussions and questions about Earned Value Management (EVM). What is it, how valuable is it as a management tool, how do you use it? Often the explanation can be quite complex. As is usual for experienced project managers or project cost practitioners we often talk in technical terminology.
This post will briefly look at the three major problem areas affecting scheduling practice:
In Primavera P6 -> Resources window -> Units & Prices tab, there is a selection box called Shift Calendar
Normally when we Level Resources, Primavera will delay an activity so that Resource is not overloaded. It can make Project Finish date delay.
How can we make Project Finish date not delay? I’ll explain in this article.
In Primavera we have a function called “Top Down Estimation” which help us to calculate an estimated figure for Labor and Non-labor unit based on “estimation weights”. It can apply to WBS and Activity.
In Primavera, when we filter critical path, it only show 1 critical path. In complicated project, we might need to show some more “near critical” path.
I will show you how to do it.
The Agile Manifesto declared independence from constraining, process-centric software development methodologies. The Manifesto advocated for a product-focused, team-centric approach. As Agile has moved mainstream, it has spawned its own industry of methodologies and tools. Organizations embracing Agile must remember that people are the key to its success.
Primavera have a function (called Level Resources) to solve the overload resource problem.
I will explain how does it work in this article.
Delivering the wrong project on time and on budget with 100% of its scope completed to the defined quality standards is a complete waste of money!
If ‘two heads are better than one’ why do so many committees make bad decisions?
