General planning comments and questions.
Our paper looking at the scheduling challenges in agile and distributed projects has been published in the February 2003 edition of PM World Journal: https://pmworldjournal.com/
P6 Professional, not EPPM which is a different can of worms.
.1. on your system - if you have a serial number, can't you just keep paying the "maint. fee" and then keep getting updates for free - isn't this the best way to go?
.2. through citrix or similar - is this the above but through a corp VPM?
.3. set up on a network, at a corporation, can login to it remotely somehow I think.
similar but different:
.1. cloud access - called P6, but does not have all the abilities, ie cannot import layouts etc. - might provide a regular P6 access somehow.
Primavera running slow, for example when I delete activities it take 1.5 minutes even on small project. It is the only program that is that laggy or slow. I have used system utility programs in the fast and generally find them pretty dangerous - so I think it would be good if I find out what in particular effects P6 the most.
Where do you draw the line on design delays on DB projects? - Aren't all the design delays the DB's problem? (Except owner related excessive review times perhaps.)
I am on a project where the remaining logic has the project 20 days behind, but 24 days behind the dates for the same item from the Approved baseline from 8 months prior. Is the project 20 or 24 days behind? I would say 20, others say 24. 24 would be more correct for a claim situation, but how often do these really end up in court or arbitration - the 20 is more practical. In this case its not a big difference - but it can be. In this case I am guessing calendar complications, but it can be caused by many things.
Yes, I can create some - but the more choice the better. Contractors delibritely submit per spec but in poor format, basically on purpose - I have been on both sides of this - the samples are basically for the non-schedulers to see the difference. I know I can find some, but thought asking this group would expedite it.
s it true you can only collect liquidated damages if there "actually" are financial effects and not just contract language? - I thought a contract is a contract, wouldn't matter if you financially needed by that date or not.
Due to turn-around times by the time the contractor gets it back - they can just submit the following month that is that much fresher, I prefer when OR's or who ever is reviewing a schedule simply do Approved - as noted, because they can tell you to make the same changes with either designation. But when reviewing schedules - I do not know if there are legal issues of doing the AAN vs the R&R - thoughts?
Project Had 1 day for install after long lead, then 1 day install, then Substantial Completion. But in fact the install and detail such as testing would take 30 days. The long lead is taking longer - they want more for "supply chain" disruptions (aren't thos over) - isn't all the delay on the contractor for under-estimating delivery, not getting procured in time, and the bad logic and or not enough duration. All on contractor to make up or get LD's?
Hi All,
I am a Proejct Control Engineer with 15 Yrs exp and right now looking for better opportunities. Many companies do look for certification, so could you please suggest which once would be good.
