Hi Kian!
Im sorry. You are right. It seems that in this new version 5.0 Start float and finish float are the same in Interruptible activity and constraint activity.
Ill check with some of my college and feedback you in case I find the answer.
Thanks
Khuong
Dear Khuong
Thanks for your consideration,by the way as I checked difference total float for activity that has suspend and resume dates and also for activity which has constraint,I couldnt find any difference(as you know P3e calculates based on remaining early dates)would you please clarify the issue.
Regards
Kian,
Its actually very simple: If one single activity has both SS and FS relationships, the start float and finish float can be different.
H.T.H.
Hi Kian
Start and Finish float are usually the same, however they can be different in the following situations.
1. When using Suspend & Resume
2. When using constraints
3. Hammock/Level of Effort activities
4. WBS activities
5. Summary calculations that get their dates from detailed activity information
The easily seen situation is Level of effort activities. The first activity and last activity of LOE activity usually have different float. So the schedule option can bring into play now.
Thanks

This is a topic more for the purists. For a normal activity until today I wasnt able to realize real difference. For WBS-Summary there are, but I dont know why. I didnt analyze float on WBS-summary activities, since it was not important for me. Others may know an answer.

By the way, this is the area for old P3.
