Aren't "windows" delay analysis flawed by the common condensing of schedule as schedule goes on? - Do if the project is complete and you have 5 delays at 20 days each, but he job is only 20 days late - couldn't you just prorate each delay - because...
I have read that you only get time for time that only the owner delayed the project, how can this be - because that would be compensatable. So time extensions are not granted for perfectly equal delays by owner and contractor? For example, I found ...

Owner looked at schedule and asked why there were late dates on items with Actuals - what do you say? what do you do? - because it is true, it does not make sense. I assume people copy the dates to a column and delete them in the udf column - but so...
Vladimir, I am looking for a way to do update all material and resources costs on a weekly basis. Here is what I am thinking: 01. Use a database (doesn't matter wich one) as long as it can export a simple text file. The database will store codes of m...
We know that dates are often off by 1 day because there are hidden decimals - but main source & main fix?

Is an estimate based on multiple points more accurate than a single estimate?If we go with conventional wisdom then it certainly would seem so. A mean of more than one estimate is likely to give us better result.In project management, there is a thre...

Hi guys, New to the forum but wanted to get some opinions on what you use on Mac instead of Project? I know you can run it via a virtual machine but I'm not a fan of using Windows software on Mac this way. I've checked out some of these alternatives ...
