General planning comments and questions.
Hi guys,
I'm a construction management student and asked to do an assignment about "Updating Schedule", so what is meant by Updating Schdule in project management, and what is the purpose of updating schedule?

I just posted a new “Weekend Puzzler” on my blog, titled “Computing Critical Path Drag on a Project to Save Lives.” There has been a lot going on of late with regard to drag and drag cost, so I thought I’d offer another little exercise in computing these metrics in a simple (all finish-to-start) network diagram.
And with the cost of time measured in lives saved or lost, I hope that the importance of using these metrics will come clear. Too many people die because the project that would save them takes longer than it would if the schedule were properly optimized.
I just posted a new blog article, “What’s Costing Time? CPM vs. Critical Path Analysis.” It’s a follow-up to my previous blog article about Blake Sedore’s MIT paper on using critical path drag to optimize a manufacturing process.
That article has attracted a lot of interest. But it also seems to have led to some confusion as to the difference between CPM scheduling and critical path analysis.
Hello Friends,
I have made a schedule, given relationships, costs resources, and assigned baseline and started updating the progress and scheduled it on a specific date date.
It is giving 83.43 Schedule % Complete & 94.43 Performance % Complete as per applied actuals and assigned baseline & data date.
Knowing the fact that, Schedule % Complete & Performance % Complete depends upon Data Date, Baseline, Costs and actuals applied respectively. Is there still a way of altering Schedule % Complete & Performance % complete in Primavera P6
HI All i'm currently working on a schedule for tender phase for a shopping mall my company is participating in, the problem that my managers are requesting detailed schedule and detailed activities and also asking if we could provide a resource loaded schedule , in my opinion the tender phase is all about the time frame for project and the key milestone and the sequence of work, here comes the question :D what do you think the best practice for providing time schedule in tender phase ??? if any one can provid

I know that this site is mainly construction industry oriented. However, I believe there are a few people involved in manufaturing projects who might find this ineresting. And under any circumstances, it has great significance for scheduling in general.
Hi,
I explored the relationship between schedule performance index and total float and found,
CASE NO 1.
SPI < 1 then,
i) TF = 0 (It means on schedule but delay in non-critical activities)
ii) TF > 0 (It means ahead of schedule but delay in non-critical activities)
iii) TF < 0 (It means behind the schedule and delay in both critical and non critical activities)
CASE NO 2
SPI = 1 then,
i) TF = 0 (On schedule)
ii) TF > 0 (It means ahead of schedule but critical activit
Hi All
I Would like to include a narrative of my schedule with the tender schedule. I am wondering if any of you would be able to point me to a sample tender schedule.
Also it would be great to hear tips and best practise you follow whilst preparing and submitting tender schedule.
Thanks in advance

I just posted a new article “Multiproject Resource Leveling – Some Advanced Considerations” on my blog. In keeping with the blog’s attempt to cover more complex topics, this article goes beyond the simpler issues usually identified with resource leveling and explores both how to get a more profitable project schedule and how to use multiproject leveling data toimprove the staffing levels of the entire organization.
