Good day Gentlemen,
I used to like using Hammock items in P3. It seems that Ptimavera has taken that activity type out of P6.
As a result I am using Level of Effort activities to mimick the hammock activities.
Here are some issues that I have encountered. Maybe some of you can resolve the issue for me.
1- I have a group of activities that does not have a particular sequence; therefore I used an LOE to track the start and end of this group of activities (somewhat like using WBS). By doing so, the LOE activity shows a "faulty" total float (large amount of float).
2- When I want to make an activity a successor to this group of activities by linking them with a FS relationship, the LOE item just extends its bar to the start date of the successor (I guess this is somewhat linked to my first issue)
Is there a way to fix this?
Regards,
Brian

What happens when you have a group of activities that you aren’t sure about which one would start first but the start of anyone of them will be the start of your LOE. The same goes for the end.
What I’ve done up to now was:
add the activities in the group twice as the predecessor. One with an SS relationship and the other with a FS relationship.
I’m not too convinced that this is a good way of doing it.
would you have any other suggestions?
Regards
