Setting Up a New Project

H
H L-aj 👤 Member for 9 years 2 months

I am returning to P6 after some time away and would like to ensure I am setting up my project accurately.  Based on estimates, I need  budgeted labour units (man hours) to be fixed and durations to be automatically generated based on the aforementioned manhours.  I have used resource dependent activity type and fixed units for duration type.  Is this correct?  Budgeted labour units change when i attempt resource loading and I obviously do not want that :)  Any help is warmly welcomed / greatly appreciated!

Hi everybody,

I already identified the critical path in the programme and the programme activities include resources but I it's not clear how was foreseen to undertake works and manage resources.

P6 - Baseline Dates Broken

K
Kyle Dundas 👤 Member for 7 years 11 months

Hi All,

I've come across a bit of an issue and need help resolving it.

I have a baseline assigned with 0% progress, I have updated the baseline with additional activities. After placing these new activities in the BL, I did all the checks to see that the planned start and finish dates align (I've checked all the different types of Start and Finish Values) . I've checked how it calculates EV and that is also correct. I have it assigned as the Project BL, BL1 & BL2 just for sanity perposes but nothing seems to work.

Resource Assigments. Actual and Forecast, don't add up to Budget?

Hi

 

I'm quite new to planning / P6

And have a resource assignments question

I am trying to export the

1. Budgetted Units

2. Actual Units

3. Remaining Units

 

I go into the Resources Assisgnemrnt Tab and select one of the above and copy the information into excel

However. The units don't add up correctly? I.e

The Actual Units + Remaining Units do not add up to the Budgetted Units figure?

Any ideas?

Regards

Philip
