Baseline date governing successor activity date after removing the baseline

Hello,

I removed the assigned baseline from my schedule, and deleted the same in the maintaining baseline. Now my baseline is set as current project. But still shows some acitvities as per the old baseline in the gantt chart. This problem is occuring only with those activities which have actuals. (picture attached). when i link any successor it takes the date of the former bar shown in the gantt chart. what is the problem here?

I don't understand this Dilbert Cartoon - please explain

I don’t understand this Dilbert cartoon please explain.

(And yes I could have put it in a different section than P6, but I am putting it here in protest of the hassles created by connecting two activities with different calendars.  They need need a sponge activity between them to fix the "time of day" ripple hassles.)

worker “And we finished ahead of schedule”

Dilbert: “Question”

Dilbert: “Are you referring to the original schedule or the Eight Revision?

worker: “Schedules can change”

Dilbert: “That would be called a “Calendar”.

Volume Metrics Microsoft Project Online

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post on Planning Planet, I was hoping some of you may have some experience of assigning Volume metrics to activity tracking in Microsoft Project Online.

I know how it works in Primavera but we have transitioned to a new system and need your experience if you know how or work arounds?

 

Thanks James

Free/Cheap P6 Comparison Tools

Hi There,

I'm wondering what's available as far as free/cheap P6 comparison reports. I developed a free P6 comparison report (jobsessions.com/tool/compare) that compares the changes between two files and I'm wondering what else is out there that shows the changes between two files and performs quality checks.

Anything come to mind? Much appreciated,

Pat
