I have updated my data date and updated the remaining durations for activities but a few would have a remaining duration of 2 days, but the forecast finish date would be two week out.

Hi,
My programme consists of huge excavation / area grading work for which we are going to use 6 excavators. We have divided the whole area in 6 parts and excavation gonna start in all the areas at same time, hence consurrent work. So in the programme I have to assign resources to these activities.

Dear all,
May i know how do you calculate how many days that have been delayed for a project from % variance?
For example:
Planned 50% vs Actual 45% = Delayed by 5%
Currently, I calculated the delayed days, Forecast Finish Date - Baseline Finish Date and will get some numbers.
FYI, I'm from Owner side and the contractor's scheduler showing different calculation on getting the delay days using some formula & weightage.

Do you enter durations, or enter resources and work and come up with durations? Which one do you prefer and why? Is there an official correct way or just matter of preference?
One of my Project Managers just asked me a question I couldn't answer.

You can imagine my acute embarassment and changrin. The very thought of being less knowledgable than a PM makes me shudder, so any help would be much appreciated.
Why does MS Project have the option of displaying thirds of months on the timeline? You can display Beginning/Middle/End (BME) of a calendar month.
Who reports in this manner? Why would you need to see this?
Has anybody heard of this before?
