Actvitity Durations

Hi Guys & Gals,

I am in the process of ensuring my Baseline is robust enough for a delay analysis, adding missing logic links, removing constraints etc.  I have removed a lot of 'As late as possible' constraints that had no Predecessor and linked them with the relevant lag to a Start milestone.

Problem is when i add the FS +lag to each activity the start date is the same, Duration is the same but the Finish date is always a day earlier, all calendars are the same so its not that.

Any ideas? I am using P7 by the way

Thanks in advance

Hi John

Your method of switching constraints with lead lags does not produce a dynamic critical path.

You have to ensure that when you delay a task all the successors must move accordingly.

This can only be done by using FS links exclusively.

John,

Try to show the Date-Time in Dates columns, activities may have finish date in the morning and make sure the default calendar is the same as the calendars of your activities.

Hope this will help.
