How to create an EXCEL GANTT CHART using VBA

I'm a planner in the UK, and been working as a planner for just over 2 years in few different rail projects.

and one of the main challenges is that most of the engineers were NOT reading the P6 PDF programmes, 

even if they did, they really didn't pay attention to the details.

Re-Baseline with actual progress

ALL-
After series of delays in the project that i'v been working on, the client ask for a re-baseline of the planning. I'm wondering if i could re-baseline with actual progress and submit it as the new baseline of the project. Or, should i remove all actual progress and start all over to match actual dates and then submit it clear of any progress.

Thanks,

HELP! Leveled Resources Delayed by Years ? WTF?

Hello all, 

I have leveled 2 resources in a simple programme.

After levelling,the commencment of their associated activities are being delayed by 2 years from the data date.

I cannot see any other incriminating features of these activities:

- there are no constraints associated with these activities where these resources are assigned

- the resource and activity calendars are aligned

- the resource levelling and scheduling settings are completely blank, i.e. there are no unusual settings turned on.

WTF ?!?

Construction Delay Analysis

Construction Delay Analysis

No doubt; one of the major reasons for the construction delay is delays in engineering. As prevention is better than cure, I do believe that “Setting up robust engineering planning and monitoring” and “on-time clear communication of delay” are crucial to protect the project. I have documented the 6 main challenges that I have experienced in these two areas in my LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/parastoomousavi/).

Project Planning Concepts

Hello Planet, 

Planning to my defination is a cultural eccentric practice and is defined by the users, and the results they wish to draw. Having that in mind le me pose the two questions and hope that your opinions will shape our conversation:

  1. Agile Planning vs Waterfall Planning, one has to fall which one and why?
  2. Should Planners be the Contract Administators, (if we planned it we should monitor its success). 

I hope the Converssation is of your benefit as it will be mine.
