General planning comments and questions.
Can someone give a short and clear description of window analysis? I read a lot of things but still confused. Please do not confuse me with many paragraphs or links etc.... I just need a few sentences clear description if possible.
Is it possible to assign resources of a single activity in such a way that one will start after another and then another?
For example, normally you would have activities as:
Dig trench
Place Pipe
Backfill trench
Make compaction
And then you would assign proper resources to each and proceed as usual.
Not that I will do, but let me give exaggerated example for visualizing:
what if, I named my activity as "DIg trench, Place Pipe, Backfill and Make compaction"
Hi,

I have a very normal question about 4D planning and Scheduling, which software is much better Asta, Synchro or any other maybe you know? And for these 4D do wee require BIM ?
Can you please elucidate a lil bit about it?
Thanks,
Is there an AEC industry Standard File Directory Structure for Project Schedules - or better yet does anyone have a good one that they would want to share that "WE" as a common group can add to CROWD further develop? I think most corporations like AECOM, Kiewit, etc... have a fairly standard structure but stop where we start: (Also is there specialized software to help this process?) - Hey Primavera - how about you help us on this one... - it will help future process automation efforts that you SHOULD be developing...
What is your practie to show temporary items in the schedule, such as setting or dismantling a crane, or formwork, or scaffolding etc.. I mean these are not part of the main project. So you can not assign them any resource or allocate time to them for proper earned value calculations right? But at the same time they are necessary for the main work to proceed. So do you track those separately or if you insert in the main schedule, how do you deal with this?
Hi All,
Badly need your advise.
I am trying to copy the updates from 'X' program onto another program 'Y'. X has Y+150 activities.
I did the exporting to excel and imported the relevant activities in to X program. All is find except for a few hundred activities which do not have any WBS assigned. These are being placed outside the WBS under the main program name. In other words these moved out from their respective WBS heads.
Dear All,
I have an issue of exporting a spreadhsheet from an existing schedule, when i try to export spreadsheet (for resource import) its showing "An application event has been intercepted, plz note the event "UEFED-1505-1".
Note: I noticed this problem after updating my windows on 12 Oct 2017. Before that, i was able to use this export/import without any issues.
Can anyone help me plz to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Yaseen.

Please help on the Query related to Labour units and non labour units
If I have a particular activity X which can be done with labour as well as machine (e.g.: excavation)
If I have to do same quantity of that activity with labour as well as machine, how can assign labour and non labour units. Because labour may take 10hrs to do that activity where as machine will do in an hour. So there will be different weightage for same activity ..
Hello,
I have a Change Order on my project ( 100 hrs). How are these hours captured in SPI? Or are Changes not factored in to SPI calculations?
Thanks!
