General planning comments and questions.
I found that it is not easy find out realiable comparison Analysis of scheduling tools. All of them were written in favour to one of tool (usually P6) and do not show all props and cons.
"Cannot accept a negative schedule" - "must submit a recovery schedule" - are often in Specs, but why can't you accept it - if the job is indeed negative, it is not like you are saying the you get the later date for Substantial Completion - you are agreeing that it is negative. I understand you want them to "try" to recover but that is not always possible. Is your only option to "Receive for Record" are you at legal risk if you approve a negative schedule?
Why do we use weights to calculate procurement progress?
Say, the tender assigns percentages to each stage. E.g., inquiries, 10%; TBE, 20%; PO, 30%; approvals, 20%; inspection, 20%; dispatch, 10%.
I take a simple example
Hello,
I'm managing a program and I'm struggling on finding the right tool for planning.
Dear Experts
For activity type - Level of Effort - why i can't assign duration to it. Every time i hit F9, the duration will go back to Zero.
By the way, i have not assign any baseline. I was just developing my work programme.
I have tried using the Sucessor FF , but if i use that , the duration would be too long.
FYI, i was assigning Activity name: Performance Bond as LOE.

Hi Planners,
I am preparing S-Curve for construction project, let's assume the planned progress for the month is 60% and the actual progress is 55%, we are 5% behind. It is not necessary mean that the planned completion date has shifted or should go further?
I think it is not necessary the planned completion date to go further, am I right?
I seriously need your explanation

Info for after that fact baseline - reference for how long a parking lot light pole procurement should take? For example, is there a standard source to say what a "fair" duration would have been. Due to circumstances - occasionally a fair after the fact baseline needs to be created, this is one of the pieces of info I need & if you can say it came from a reputable "source" it would make it more fair. What is your estimate? I have scheduled for a while I would say 6 weeks, but would put 8 in my schedule - just off the top of my head.
