Why putting costs in as units instead of cost is easier...

I review many schedules.  I used to make many schedules.  I have been noticing that many contractors prefer to enter costs as resource units instead of costs.  I recall it was better, but I cannot remember why it is easier - any insights into why this is common?  I can, and eventually will ask the contractors but I like to be prepared.

Keeping track of your project progress

Hi all,

My name is Vivien and i would like to open a discusion on the best and most efficient practices for keeping track of your projects.

Many of us are dealing with complex, large, distributed projects and it is often very hard to keep a track on what every project participant is doing and what's the status of project activities at certain points of the project life cycle. 

Therefore i would like to propose this effective solution as one of the many ways to dealing with this challange.

Help required - earliest of two predecessors needs to be the driver

Hi there, 

I don't know if there's a way of doing this in P6 v8.2 but I have an activity with two predecessors and I need the earliest finisher to be the driver not the latest.

Essentially two items are being tested and the first to complete the test gets onto the next stage. 

Thanks in advance, 

 

Thom

Primavera Timephased Report

I am looking for a way to create a timephased labor report from my current working schedule. I can run one showing budgeted units planned per month by person. Many activities on my current schedule have been delayed/slipped and I would like to have a report showing the new untis planned per month as a result of the slip. All my activities are Physical % Complete and task dependent. I do not track actuals in Primavera.
