Push to move away from WBS to Activity Codes

No pressure at my end. Yet. Seems to be common practice to use WBS elements.

Hi Martin,

No pressure my end as well.  May I ask what pressure seems to arise your end in using Activity Codes?

Check this out anyway, might help:

you can easily map your wbs to use activity code instead, just excel and the use of the sdk

For me, the value lies in linking the schedule to the estimate/budget.  If your estimate/budget is not organized by project WBS, there is little additional value over activity codes - except that P6 seems to really like using a WBS.

No suggestion that any schedule not be fully integrated - resource loaded - with Estimating and Accounting.  In other words, IMHO, all schedules should be resource loaded and therefore rely on a fully developed WBS - use activity codes whenever the need arises.  It is not an either/or, but rather what is appropriate.  

All schedules should be resource loaded from a source external to the planner/scheduler and this source be cited in the Schedule Basis.
