Proposal Schedules - so you kind of want to indicate broad resources and timeline over a couple years - best format?

Proposal Schedules - so you kind of want to indicate broad resources and timeline over a couple years - best format, etc?  What do you show, what do you use?  I kind of like Milestones Etc. over P6 - because P6  is not that formatting friendly - you get what you get.

Monitoring of SPI in a Project

K
Kannan CP 👤 Member for 17 years 11 months

At what stage in a Project, the monitoring of SPI should be stopped,

1. is it after the baseline program completion date is over, but still with works ongoing in delay. 

2. or earlier, noticing that project is in significant delay and will not meet target.

Regards

Kannan

Can we agree it is not a good idea to have "meetings" in schedules, even pre-construction or prep meetings?

Can we agree it is not a good idea to have "meetings" in schedules, even pre-construction or prep meetings? - Why, because they depend on 10 people mutual calendars than logic, to even get close would require constraints which are generally not allowed, and for all work activities there are common sense orbital work items that should not be put in CPM schedules.  I do not like it and wouldn't do it, but I am generally out-ranked and its not worth the arguement - so I at least try to limit it to the critical or near critical activity meetings only.

Calendar days vs Default calendar days

I searched for threads on similar topics but could not get a definite answer from any of them. The threads were posted several years back. Now hoping that P6 has come up with some genius ways to resolve the same issue.

The issue is, my schedule is calculating the finish dates variance by dividing the variance hours by 12 hours/day instead of the calendar hours of 7hours/day. Hence when you compare the finish dates, it doesn't quite add up. Example shown below.
