Driving calendars

Everyone,

 

I currently have a 14 day (7 day calendar-no BH holidays) running through Christmas. It is the last path on the network, barring a finish milestone for 'planned completion'. which is its successor. This milestone has a 5 day claendar. As the previpous 14 day task is showing a finish of 30/12/11 the milesone finishes at the same (not honouring its calendar). If it was to honour its calendar, it should read 09/01/12. Can anyone tell me how to make the succeeding task calendar be the driver in MSP 2007 Pro.

 

Thanks Stuart

Hi Stuart

As soon as a predecessor task comes out of a none work period the successor task will drop into the first available work day available in its own calendar.

A milestone - having no duration - will drop into a very small gap - even 1 second long.

So make sure you calendars and work patterns are concurrent with no gaps.

Also check what calendars are on the resources.

Best regards

Mike Testro.

Hi Stuart,

 

I don't have 2007 so not 100% sure, but could this  be because a milestone has zero duration, and hence there is no work being done on the milestone during the non-work day of 30/12/11?

What happens if you make the milestone a 1 day activity with a -1d lag?
