Comparing Work Packages within Multiple P6 Projects

Simon,
The fastest way you can use within primavera itself is run the claim digger under Tools-> Claim digger.

I have run a claim digger report and it produces a lot of data to sift through out of all 1000 activities. Is there any way to define which activities that it looks at?. All I can see is group by acitivity option, but I still have to sift through to see which ones I need?

Try to save the report to CSV extension. You can play it with excel. Select 1 option at the time.

I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding what you wish to do, but you could as you suggest assign Work Package activity codes to all activities (or even just to the activities within the WP you are interested in), and then filter to show the activties within that work package.

Do you have a baseline for each time the project was updated? If so could you not produce a series of screenshots with the first one being the initial baseline against the first update baseline, then the second one being the first update baseline against the second and so on. You could put these into PowerPoint or similar and add a few captions to explain the delays each month.

That’s a good idea, and so far that is what I’d go with (as I require a visual comaprison). However, I was looking for a Rolls Royce solution of showing all the updates on one print off. I don’t think a screen shot will show all the activities I’m comparing though
