General planning comments and questions.
I am new in using P6. I've been using p3 before. Would somebody give me brief description of the diffrence between P6 and P3?
Thank you.
It was the subject of our conversation a couple of days ago, that the way we plan and control projects in Iran is too complicated and for example we use too many activities in our project plans. The first thing came to my mind was to ask it here!
So, suppose we have a construction project (a normal office building, 8 floors), budgeted 50,000,000$, two years. How many activities would you have in your normal plans?
Thanks for the answers

Hi all P6 Users,
Can any one Explain me that how P6 Calculates Origional Duration and Actual Duration.I was applying a Threshold "Duration % Of rigional (%)" and you must know that
Duration % of Origional (% )= Actual Duration / Original Duration * 100
Now I Am not having a clear understanding that how P6 Calculates Actual Duration and Origional Duration Values.
Please Clear This Concept.
Thanks in Advance.

I am a newly appointed planner for a green field project due for Singapore, I would like to ask some advice on how to set a BASIS of Schedule. The current program I am adjusting was done in Japan, and I am having a hard time asking the person
due to language barrier.
I would like to ask the more experienced planners on this group to help me define or look for the basis of schedule.
Is it enough that I use the milestones from the client? it was just a completion date of the project. so i am having a hard time...thanks in advance

Hi fellow planners/schedulers,
I came across something new yesterday and I am not sure how to go about it.
The scope of the project I am involved in changed slightly. It is an engineering project. In my baseline I have a few activities that are not part of the scope anymore. How do I go about that change? Do I simply delete the activities? Do I set its original duration to '0' ( the activity has not started) and unlink it from the rest of the project?
hai,
I have a recovery program and the activities have some actual start dates. The activity duration type assigned is fixed duration and units.
Resources assignments have - Preserve units, duration and units/times assigned.
but when i check the resource usage spread sheet, in updated activities, the Actual units + remaining units doesnt match to budgeted units.
