You are correct in saying that the main thing is meeting his milestones, however in this project we only have one milestone date(honest) and that is mechanical completion. There are no interim milestones. I feel that if we aim for the early curve then we wil probably achieve his "mean" curve but of we aim for his mean curve then we will probably be following his late curve for most of the project with the definite possibility of falling out of the envelope altogether.
Yes I agree it is not exactly the best way to start a project.
Thanks for your feed back, it is appreciated.

totally agree - the early curve should still be achievable though. ALso if he is using the resource argument you should get him to load the programme with his manning intentions which would then adjust the early curve.
So long as he meets his milestone dates does the progress curve matter? Displaying the progress envelope between early and late dates is quite common but the important thing is the trend.
