Assigning Critical Path Manually !

H
Hany Edrees 👤 Member for 17 years 8 months

Hi everybody .. Is it OK to choose certain activities and make them critical instead of just relying on P6 critical path calculation using total float or longest path? Why we should do this? and finally what is the best teqnique to do so? 

Thanks in advance

Activity % Complete in Totals and Sub-totals do not appear

A
arvin pura 👤 Member for 12 years 3 months

Hi Planning Experts,

Currently I am updating my programme in P6. My programme is resource loaded with manpower and material. In updating I am using Activity % complete in the column and physical % as the percent type. But after updating there I cannot see the % complete in the total and subtotals (or wbs bars). Need help and advise.

 

Thank you.

Arvin

Project Suspend Activity

Hi to All,

I need help, Im using P6 ver 8.2.  Ive read some of the forums regarding using the calendar, its advantages and disadvatanges on this problem.

Heres the situation, Project operation was suspended for 60 days due to a Tower Crane Collapse.

Questions:

1.  Whats the best way to present it to the client besides using the Calendar and marking those dates NON-WORK, Bar-necking and using a Curtain.
