Baseline percent complete with RAG indicator

N
Nathan Siva 👤 Member for 12 years 1 month

Hi Experts,

I like to understand that is it possible to do RAG indicator based on project progress. This is to RAG a work activity that is tracked against the predicated workload at time of observation (baseline estimate at that time), against the actual time delivered). For example, the baseline estimate is 20 days. At time 10 days the baseline estimate is (10/20) = 50% supposed to be completed. Then actual is e.g. 30% at time 10. Therefore the project has predicated to have slipped. The Red, Amber, Green should be able to be set for this measurement at a percentage level.

Difference between deadline and finish no later than constraint

Dear Schedulers,

According to my understanding, when a deadline is used in MS Project,then the late finish of the activity will be set to that deadline date.
Also, when a finish no later than constraint is used, then again the late finish of the activity will be set to this constraint date.

This means both of them do the same thing and the finish date can pass the deadline or constraint date which will generate negative total float.

So I would be grateful if you tell me the real difference between these two because I find them the same.

Circular Relationship - Reports?

Having been sent a MSP schedule that had the Circular Task error message, I had to spend some time trying to work out where the erroneous links were - as it turned out, as I cleared the task and saved/reopned the file, I then had another task as a circular relationship - five in all!!!

Just wondring if there is any way to create a specific report view (either Gantt or Netowrk Diagram) that shows the tasks involved in creating the circular relationship, or failing that, is there a specific field available I could show and then filter on?
