Non-critical activities showing up as critical path

Good day,

I built this little schedule, there are only 6 activities, no constraints, everything is pretty much FS, but for some reason the activities are showing up as critical path! When I click on 'schedule' there is an option tab, I have gone in there and changed the Define critical activities and everything is still coming up as critical path!!??!!??!!

Any in-sight would be great!!! Plz & thx :)

Cheers,

Tammy

Progress Update Problem

I am using P6 and face a problem. When i update the progress, the activities whose %age is between 0%-100% (Like, 50% complete, 70% Complete etc), the bar against such activities in no more remains continuous but it split into 2 parts, 1st part for completed % age and 2nd part for remaining (or critical) % age and there is a gape between these two bars.. I do not know how to overcome this problem. Because the gap between bar seems like there is no work on this activity for some period of time but this is not the actual case.

Summary bar and (performance percentages) in P6.

 

Take care of Summary bar in the case of calculating the performance percentages!!

Based on cost sure , to compute the performance percentages  which appear in the column name (performance percentages) in P6 , the summary bar only summaries the activities which have an assign cost.

 

 

 

For each activity:

 primavera use this sequence of steps :

 

1) calculate the earned value:

Schedule Risk Analysis Execution

Hi guys, as subjected above I just want to know deeply about schedule risk analysis.

 

  1. What is the best software to perform this kind of analysis? Possible by P6?? Pert master is the favourite right?
  2. Is it based on baseline schedule or working schedule??
  3. If you have a thousand activity how come you can perform this analysis by weekly?
