Schedule % Complete / Duration % Complete in P6

Hi..

i am new for p6. i want to import p3 file & run in p6. i already finish my import action from p6. but my imported schedule display only activities without any wbs or activity code bands.

can anybody tell me to solve this problem.

thanks

We are having a similar problem (no P3 import, but rollup issues).  We want to clearly indicate to our Project Manager the percent complete on a rollup basis....but are unable to get the percents to rollup correctly.  The only exception is Duration % Complete, but this is not a practical rollup to truly indicate progress.  Having a real struggle with this one, and would appreciate any ideas or input!

Hi All,

I am new to project planning although i have used P6 four years ago i have for gotten everything. After long gap i have started scheduling residential villa project , for me all activities coming as a "Critical Activity" ????????? i have linked all activities based on FS logic one after another. like chain link. when i did it years ago i used to get some non critical activities too but now i am getting all activities as a critical activity. Please any one can help me out in this regard. It will be a great help.

Deepak,

If you link all of your activities with finish to start relationships and create a chain through your project, then of course, they will be critical.  The critical path is defined as the longest chain of events running through your programme and also activities which have a total float of less than n days.  You can define the n days (I mandate 10 days for my team which gives early warning of when activities will be turning critical).

Hi Deepak

    If you have three activities A,B & C.Suppose both A & B is having Finish to start(FS) relationship with C (condition C is the final activity which affects project completion date).

A->C(FS with lag 3)

B->C(FS with lag 0)

Both B is a critical activity  & A is having a total float =3. So A is not critical.

Velmon,

The Issue you are discussing is not an issue infact.The grand Total for activity % is not shown because there is no use of it.From name you can guess that it is activity percent not the project percent.If you want to see the project percent then it is one step process,i.e,BC/BCWP*100=project % complete...But in activity % complete column you will get only activity % individually.Still if you think I did't get your question or you have any other issue regarding P6 then email me your project along with a detailed mail @ fayez@almobty.com  or engineerfaiz_aries@yahoo.com

Dear All,

How do I get percentage complete in P6 considering the duration weightage.

Please help.

you can not look at % complete like that becasue each activity can have a different % complete TYPE it can be physical,duration or units so in essence you will mixing apples and oranges.

you can see the diffent % complete types and how they work at my link below

Old post, but there's a great guide explaning how schedule % complete works in Primavera P6 over here https://www.planacademy.com/primavera-p6-schedule-percent-complete-guide-1/

It's just a very simple question:

How can I show progress in the sub-totals and totals of P6?

In this case I'm trying to show performance % complete and schedule % complete.

I guess the picture makes the understanding easier.

this depends on what you measuring stick is it can be uints or costs go to the projects directory make sure that your projetc is highlighted add a column for Duration % Complete, Labor Units % Complete, Cost % compelte, Performance % complete, Units % complete or anything else that you want.

THen right click and select summarize project. 

Hi Guys ,

I am also having the same problem , I made the program on P6 and now i import it to P6 R8.3 and now i fixed the baseline, loaded also the cost . But once i Start update the progress & once i schedule , it is showing 0 % in Scheudle % complete & Performance % complete.

Pls guide me its urgent

run a global change

where physical % complete is greater than 0

then duration % complete = physcial % complete
