Hi,
I have a fixed schedule from previous project and I want to use it on another project with exact same activities, relationship, and everything. But when I changed the data date, the critical path also changed. Does anyone know why is this happening? Is this normal?
Thanks
Anissa,
Oh course that is normal. The critical path often changes over the course of a project. If it did not, there would be little use in tracking the entire project.
Delays, low productivity, added work, changed conditions, changed workplans all combine to make the job of scheduling a complicated, rewarding experience. Good luck!
Anissa,
Two obvious things to check:
Calendars. Changing the data date may have brought some non-worknig time into play on near-critical activities which has made them critical.
Constraints: If you have any constraints in the schedule, the dates of these constraints will not have shifted when you changed the data date. You will have to manually adjust / remove them.
Cheers,
G
