Explosing Planning 0 vs Sequential signoff reviews

Hello,

 

I'm Project Manager in a large organisation with fragmented tools and fragmented approaches.

 

I'm looking for a tool which can:

- highlight the Project phases (PMI model for example, Initiation, Design etc.) on a quarterly basis

- highlight more details by collapsing or exploding the Project phases (Design --> Basic Engineering, Detail etc)

P6 SQL Express Server - Remote Connection Setup

Morning,

I was wondering if anyone had successfully set up a MS SQL Express Server for a remote P6 connection? I have set up an MS SQL 2017 Server and working fine, set up the relevant ports to allow remote access but the following error from P6 when I try to connect.

"Bad public user name or password. PRM DBAccess Error: Connection attempt to database failed with message SQL State: 1, SQL Error Code: 14, Level: 16, Procedure: , Line: 0

P6 Deleted PC User Account

Hi All, The local account I was previously using was deleted due to system update of our IT Team. Unfortunately, I don't have back up files of my projects' schedule. Do you know any way on how to recover or retrieve my schedule from deleted account? Note: I was using P6 R.16.2 in SQLite Standalone database. Thank you and regards, Sonny Valderama

Schedule Development - 91R-16 AACE

Hello Everyone,

 

Could you please guide me on the subject " 91R-16 AACE - Schedule Development" - AACE based.

 

I found this as a requirement on a ITT (Instruction to Tenderers), but have no idea if there is something different in preparing the schedule. I have prepared lots of schedule but not sure which standart it follows.

 

So by the above standards should I consider something esle.

 

Regards

Jithin

Cumulative budgeted resources

K
kali nath 👤 Member for 7 years 9 months

Dear experts,

In a project that I am currently associated with, our client had specifically insisted on using "Non-Labour" resources to be used as a progress measurement. They had issued a weightage for each WBS (Level-1) and requested us to report the progress in form of S-curve as well % progress in each WBS wise.
