Alternatives to lags and dummy activities

I haven't seen a good answer to this in the general forum and would really like to know the accepted theory or best practice.

Example the engineering specification for a piece of equipment is available in M2, lets say it happens to be one of the first items to be designed. The procurement process means a purchase can be made in M4. The lead time is 4 months and so it will be available for delivery to site at M8. I only need to install that item in M16.

Exercise in Critical Path Analysis

I just posted on LinkedIn a practice exercise I've used in my graduate courses for critical path analysis. It particularly focuses on understanding a network logic diagram and computing critical path darg and drag cost.

Would be happy to answer any questions or engage in discussion here.

Fraternally in project management,

Steve the Bajan

Looking for reviews on Viziya

Hi all,

Hope everyone is safe and well in the current environment.

The mining company that I work for is currently looking at a planning and scheduling solution called Viziya WorkAlign Scheduler and I am hoping that there might be some others out there currently using the software and can provide some feedback. Through the vendor sessions the software looks good but it's always part of the sales pitch and there isn't too much in the way of quality reviews that I've been able to find through google searches etc.

Thanks in advance.

Apply Global Change with Job Services

Hi everybody,

I would like to apply a Global Change on my schedule, automatically, on a regular basis.

The best solution would be to have something possible with the Job Services, but we know that the option is not possible.

Does anyone have an idea to run a GC automatically?

Regards

I have set these as start miletones and related to the work activity with a start to start relationshbip.  The documents themselves don't alweays have successors but I don't want to leave an open end and thought i would coule make a Finish to Finish activity with the work activity. However P6 not letting me do that. I have never come accross this and not sure how to deal with it.
