Hi!

Good Afternoon!

Now, I’m studying Earned Value Calculation using P3 e/c soft. For those who have enough knowledge in this regards, please kindly reply to my inquiry below:

- If I input estimation weights to activities and to WBS elements, how would this affect the progress of each WBS element & to the overall project progress as well?

- I’d like to calculate earned value, is it ok not to load resource & resource units into the schedule? I’ll just input estimation weights to activities, is this enough?

Your reply would be highly appreciated.


Regards,
Fritzie

    Hi
    If you want to calculate earned value, resource must be loaded.
    The estimation weights may not affect the progress of WBS or activities. The estimation weights is used to quickly allocate resourse.
    This is my opioion.

    Hello UmaDuration type

    Hello Uma

    Duration type matters when resources are assigned to an activity.  So setting the correct duration type is important when resource are loaded.  You can set Fixed Duration & Units/ Time  OR Fixed Duration & Units if it is the schedule is what is important for that activity.  You can use Fixed Units/Time if Resource Availability is the majour issue for an activity.  You can use Fixed Units  if Budget (cost) is what is importantas far as that activity is concerened

    Thanks for all your responses.

    Can I assign a resource lag for the resources? If I have a piling activity of 10 days, I want to assign the piling rig for last 5 days and in a similar manner, I want to assign a resource for the first 5 days in a 10 day activity. I tried using original lag but it is increasing the duration.
