Total Delay

Member for

Hi All

This is a completely nonsensical question.

It requires a number of suplemental questions before an answer can be attempted such as:

0.  Is the start or the end of the task affected - or is itmidway through a partially complete task?

1.  Is the 4 days delay a single event that has ended or is it a rolling event that is continuing after 28th Feb.

2.  If rolling when will it end?

3.  How much total float is on the activity?

4.  Are there any resource implications that may cause further delay?

5.  Are there any up coming calendar breaks that the delay may straddle?

6.  What software is involved?

7.  Are there any constraints that affect the critical path?

8.  What level of detail is the programme set at - if 3 or above then no answer is possible.

You would get more than a 1000 different answers with the above variances.

Another response would be to say to the interviwer "Where did you study planning? Because if I were you I would consider suing the University."

Hi,

 

the question is like asking me to quantify materials without a drawing and no specifications...

well... I think the interviewer will always be right... hehehe..coz he knows what he was talking about and what ever is the situation going on in his mind... :-)

for that kind of question without the necessary details... how can we even get 35 days? or even 50? based on what?

;-) just my thought

cheers,

Hai Tanveer

i Am not Sure Abt 50days .

I will Also Say him 35days  based upon the following point

 1. That all the Out of Sequence Activity are brought to Sequence .

 2. Considering that Activity is in Progress , Type  Task dependent , Percentage Complete As Physical, Duartion type As Fixed Duration& Units/ Time i will Adjust the Remaining Duration 

I am  also Expecting Answer From others Also
