XML imported durations changed

T
Tony Marsh 👤 Member for 14 years 5 months

HI all,

I have imported an XML file from MPP and it has changed all of the task durations to 2 days regardless of there original duration in MPP.

It also has the "date added" details incorrect as it is showing them as project start date and not the date which the schedule was added.

I have looked into the calendars and cant find any out of the ordinary in there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Regards

 

Tony

Exporting Open Plan Professional to MS Project

Is there a way to export an open plan professional schedule, which is resource loaded, to ms project to include the resources as well?  I have imported it once, but not all of the resources came across properly and the resources that did come across were inflated.  I'm open to any suggestions.

Producing Baseline S-Curves even after some activities were started/finished

Hello my dear fellow planners.

I would like to ask some assistance, I am having a hard time plotting the late and early curves of my schedule (Primavera  v6.2).

The situation is that, during FEED phase, EPC Schedule was drafted and some of the activities on FEED Phase were used as

predecessors for EPC so now that I am setting up the S-Curves for progress monitoring, I am having difficulty because I want to set

the Zero-Point / Start-Off point of EPC Progress Monitoring specifically from the activities which were started but at least not finished.

New blog about 3D WBS, a new approach to view project management and planning

Hi all,

 

I invite you to visit my new blog about 3D Work Breakdown Structure (3D WBS).

It is an approch which allows:

  • to structure well and quickly a time schedule,
  • to identify mathematically the interfaces of a project,
  • to have an integrated project management.

The link is the following : http://3d-wbs.blogspot.com/

Don't hesitate to give me your comments !

I hope you will have pleasure to read it.

Best regards,

Jean-Yves
