Top tips for planning

B
Bob Foden 👤 Member for 18 years 9 months

Dear Experts,

I've been invited to a group wide discussion on planning best practise. One of the deliverables at this bash will be "Golden nuggets" in the planning world. Very early on in my career I learnt that, in general, engineers have difficulty in keeping to any schedule and are happiest when solving the minutest of issues rather than seeing the commercial picture and stopping when "fit for purpose" or the product meets the spec.

Planned% percentage Complete

S
Sajid Syed 👤 Member for 18 years 4 months

Hi,

can some one comment on how to display  "Baseline % Complete" for activities as well as being summed up for the WBS levels as well.

the project is currently 50% into progress and "scheduled % complete"  values are not the same as the ones that i had initially calculated for the scurve from baseline.

Schedule%complete gives rescheduled values not the baseline values as i understand????

 

 

Regards

Making Changes in Project Plan

Hi planners,

Would any one tell me about changes in the project plan? I am working with a (civil) contracting company and doing a high rise commercial tower in Dubai. We also have a sister concern for MEP works. I am the only planning engineer in the company. I made the civil plan for the tower and MEP as well at the same time. Now we have another residential tower and the MEP contractor is one another company. I have made my plan and the execution has already started but the MEP program is not yet submitted to us.
