Revised and Recovery Programs

For me, a recovery program means that you may do some modifications but the new program is still aimed on the same or original target, while a revised program may have some changes that affects the whole timeframe or the scope.

Dear Abdallah,

Recovery: You would rethink you schedule to come up with new methods to finish on time as much as possible.

Revised: You will revise the schedule so that the new schedule will reflect the actual progress of work at site.

With kind regards,

Thank for the replies;

But what I want to clear out is that If I am asked for a revised schedule the finish date of the project will change and for the recovery it should be the same, right?

Abdallah,

Yes and No, as they might ask you to revise the schedule in order to recover.

You have to clear this out considering that when you run or calculate the schedule automatically, it will give you a result that might differ from what as planned. So in order to maintain the same timeframe (as in baseline), you need to do some modifications or revisions.

cheers

hi

I need a clarification please respond for the below message

Recovery schedule : Here we maintain same project completion date as in consented baseline but modification could be done to those activities which are yet to start or progressing by crashing and resource acceleration

Revised schedule : Here we slipped the consented project completion dated and we plan for activities which are yet to start or progressing

Dear Shahul,

What exactly is not clear for you. In the "Recovery" Schedule, you want to recover the lost time and maintain the end date. Crashing and Resource Leveling are planning tools to increase the productivity on the project.

Whereas, in the "Revised" schedule, you want to complete the project and the end date is flexible.

Best,

Samer

Many thanks samer
It is very clear from your message

Samer

In connection to previous message you have mentioned In revised schedule projection completion date is flexible, in the sense it could vary from consented schedule completion date ,am i correct ?

Dear Shahul,

You are correct. The reason the Engineer request a revised schedule is that the approved schedule at the start of the project does not represent the actual work ongoing at site. In most cases, you have a slow progress and the activities start and completion are late.

Therefore, in most cases, the revised schedule will indicate that the project will be completed at a later date.

With kind regards,

Samer

Alright thanks for your support samer

Thank you all for the valuable replies

Hi to all

In connection to forum topic does crashed schedule is a part of recovery or revised programme?

Dear Shahul,

It depends. You need to go back to the definition of a crashed schedule (increasing the resources) and check if you can use it to your advantage in the Schedule that you want.

With best regards,

Samer
