Critical Activities not showing

Binita,

Assign relationships to activities, i.e. predecessors and successors. Total Float is driven by schedule logic.

Thank-you for your time Jerome.

I defined relationship, but still it shows huge total float in all the activities.

Binita,

Check to make sure you don't have dangling activities (SS relationships).

You need proper logic (mainly FS relationships) for you to have meaningful Total Float.

Hi Binita,

At project level (Date Tab), have you applied any must finish date gerater than 02-July-2014? If yes, remove it

Hi Binita,

Could you please send a screenshot showing the start, finish and total floar columns and the gant chart. without seeing the schedule I won't be able to help you.

1. go to the Projects directory check the project must finish by date make sure that the DATE is correct

2. make sure that every activity has a predecessor except the first activity.

3. Make sure that every activity has a successor expect the last activity in the schedule.

I think you should first know the detail definition of Total Float, TF=LF-EF, in other words, TF is the most buffer duration that a activity can float from early start of finish date to late start or finish date, but not affecting the delivery date. So if a acitivity has a huge TF, you should first consider that if it has a successor activity.

Just remove the "Must Finish Date", and then schedule your plan, there must be some critical activities showing.

if you remove the Project Must finish by date you will NEVER see any negative float if the project falls behind schedule.

make sure each activity has a predecessor and each activity has a successor the float is what it is.
