Project Scheduling Rules, a free ebook

 

This free 45-page eBook is a collection of 19 essential rules, based on PMI and DoD standards and codes, which I find very important and useful. I tried to explain the reason behind each one and the way you can apply them in your schedules.

You can find more information and the download link here: http://en.khorramirad.info

Schedule Update Report

M
Miguel Rios 👤 Member for 16 years 8 months

I have been requested to prepare a report regarding the monthly update of the schedule. My manager told me it should be around 5 pages. What should this report contain? Are there any formats for this kind of reports? Is someone willing to share a sample of this type of report?

Project Progress Monitoring Systems

Hi there everyone, I am hoping to get some of your views on construction project progress monitoring systems, this is to aid my work towards my final year research project at Loughborough university. There is a link to a simple and short questionnaire that should not take no longer than 5minutes of your time.

revised baseline date problem

K
Kannan CP 👤 Member for 18 years

I have a project in p6 with a fixed baseline. after 25% of the project is finished, it was discussed and agreed to fix a new baseline from the current project,due to some issues. Now the the following problems i am facing;

1. Activities which are in progress have a planned finish date(from new target) not equal to the current finish date.

2. Then i understood that the planned finish date is showing the completion date, at the time when the activity actually started. (since the new target was taken from the current project)

3.

HOW UNIT % COMPLETE IS UPDATED

How the unit % complete is getting updated?

Even though I apply the latest duration % for each activity, the unit % is getting considerably changed only when I change the Data Date. What Data Date has to do in the updation of the Unit & completion besides the duration percentages for the indivudual activities?

Could anyone please explain me why it is so?

Any feedback will be appreciable.

Mid project baseline issues

 

Hi PP members,

I have just entered a project into P6 which is about half way completed. I need to create the baseline for the projects mid way position. To do this i created a new baseline based on the current project, but when I display the baseline bars some of them line up fine (should be equal to current bar) and some of them are miles off?

Why would it do this as I need the baseline to be equal to the current bars?

Can send a screenshot if it helps.

 

Thank You

Adam
