New Schedule Library

I am really fascinated by the capabilities of deep learning and future evolutions of it (http://deeplearning.net/). Google, Facebook and Neflix understand its capabilities and investing a significant amount of money in future developments. As a scheduler I see deep learning as a way to create hypothesis about schedule completion dates besides using CPM logic and resource management. I believe an evolving algorithm considering more project factors and information would likely create another tool to predict a project finish date.

G T 👤 Member for 15 years 5 months

Dear Forum I have following question....

In MS Project it is possible to setup a dedailne for an actvity and this deadline bar (actually it is an arrow) can be appeard on bar chart.

 

How to do the same in P6.... so to have an activity bar with some start/finish dates and an additional "bar-like" object for example an arrow like in MS project that specifies the deadline visually on bar chart...

I just completed and submitted Managing Projects as Investments: Earned Value to Business Value

Hi, PPers.

I hope you will forgive my absence from this wonderful forum over the past several months. I have been immersed in writing my new book: about 300 pages of text plus 89 diagrams. Having sent the complete manuscript for Managing Projects as Investments: Earned Value to Business Value to my publisher, CRC Press, yesterday, I now expect to be back here far more often.

No I need to add indirect cost to complete my activity estimates process. And also at later stage I shall need to update the indirect cost alongwith direct cost. We have cost accounts but I am not sure how to distribute indirect cost on different projects.

Wikipedia listing, possibly erroneous - Process deliverables

I was just directed to this wikipedia link regarding process deliverables by Intuit.

http://engineeringchecks.freewiki.in/index.php?title=Deliverables_List&…

Its a nice list but it does not align with my understanding of the process steps.  If there are any process types (Oil and Gas) with a couple of minutes on your hands, I would appreciate you taking a look.  I think its a useful post if properly presented.

If you think it worthwhile, we might collaborate in developing a more accurate listing.  Let me know, one way or the other.
