Hi,

I have a fixed schedule from previous project and I want to use it on another project with exact same activities, relationship, and everything. But when I changed the data date, the critical path also changed. Does anyone know why is this happening? Is this normal?

Thanks

    Anissa,Two obvious things to

    Anissa,

    Two obvious things to check:

    Calendars. Changing the data date may have brought some non-worknig time into play on near-critical activities which has made them critical.

    Constraints: If you have any constraints in the schedule, the dates of these constraints will not have shifted when you changed the data date. You will have to manually adjust / remove them.

     

    Cheers,

    Anissa, Oh course that is

    Anissa,

    Oh course that is normal.  The critical path often changes over the course of a project.  If it did not, there would be little use in tracking the entire project. 

    Delays, low productivity, added work, changed conditions, changed workplans all combine to make the job of scheduling a complicated, rewarding experience.  Good luck!
