Resource loading challenge

Here's the challenge...

You have 10 activities in your schedule.  They are all resource loading (not necessarily the same resources).  They have a 'prioritisation' code allocated to determine the sequence of preference for resource levelling.  There are no real inter-dependencies between them.  They can all happen in any order, they could all happen at the same time, apart from 1 of those activities (let's call it Activity X).  When Activity X happens, none of the other 9 can be planned to happen.  How can this be achieved using resource loading?

Baseline in Primavera

E
Emma Lang 👤 Member for 9 years 10 months

I have been trying for the last hour to update a baseline schedule, but everytime I assign it to my current schedule the baseline dates are incorrect. 

Even when I delete the baseline I still have a baseline start, finish etc. I've tried creating a new baseline and even that didn't work.

So I have an activity with Start Date 6th August, but a Baseline Start of 28th May. I want my baseline date to equal the current planned start date. There is no baseline currently assigned to the schedule but I still have a baseline start?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Submittals, Resubmittals, and More Resubmittals

Hello,

The project I am working on has been bogged down during preconstruction and the Owner has directed us to add resubmittal activities for each submittal that had a revision.  Unfortunately, that is more or less all of them, and the previous schedulers were not adding these activities.

Below are some challenges I am considering, and I appreciate any comments or opinions:

1) Activity Type

The Owner has requested that I add a milestone for each resubmit and a milestone for each returned submittal.

[Q] Changing External Project Relationship to another project?

Hi there everyone.  Most of the program I did and managed for several years are usually incorporated in a single master program so its very seldom (and been a while) that I had to use external logic between 2 or more projects.

So my situation:

Is there a consensus for the best practice for implementing a revised baseline for a schedule that has already been progressed?

I'm struggling to identify the best way to implement a baseline change to my P6 projects once they have begun to be progressed.

BL Duration % Complete

G
Gowhar Mir 👤 Member for 8 years 1 month

Hi there!

I require to show the project progress in terms of duration % complete but the issue is that the assigned baseline duration % complete doesn't auto update. I now am updating actuals on baseline seperately to get the data. Is there a way wherein I can represent both the baseline Duration % complete and current duration % complete together in the same prog?
