How to show critical Path for an updated activitie

Hi



As Ronald said this is what we call "As-built Critical Path" and it is a expertise on its own.



You may need to re-create the entire schedule base on its original logic and then unschedule all the AS AF and reschedule the plan base on its durations.... this is a long process and require a lot of other skill other than planning.



If the As Build CP is a claim related issue then better refer to the experts



Good Luck

Hi Ronald,

Can you please elaborate on how to arrive at the longest path from the updated program.

Can anyone suggest any links which can help me in finding more about as built critical path?

cheers

Haresh,



What you are asking for is the “As-Built Critical Path.” P5 is unequipped to display this. This is not a built-in function. There is one add-on software company that sells software for this.



Forensic Experts make a living out of identifying these As-Built Critical Path activities. It takes a lot of experience and knowledge of CPM to do this (hence, that is why they are called “experts.”) The AACEi sponsors a group dedicated to CPM forensic science (in fact, I believe that they are introducing a certification for this practice at next year’s conference.)



I know that I didn’t give you the answer that you wanted, but at least I hope that I gave you some ideas about the correct courses of action. Good luck!
