EPPM Schedule Check

In the Open Standard

Hi, 

I previously used P6 EPPM v8.2 and it had a useful feature called 'Schedule Check'. It was very useful in auditing contractor schedules when working with as a client planner, to quickly check the integrity of a submitted plan. I am in a similar role once again, and understand that in the latest version of EPPM the feature has been removed as it was a run through Java.

Is there a replacement for this feature, or has any body created a report that can check the same parameters? 

Thanks,

Craig

    Craig, I think you're

    Craig, I think you're referring to the schedule comparison feature, that let you compare the differences between two schedules, P6 has never had an inbuilt schedule checking tool like DCMA checklists etc.

    You can always run counts of activities in P6 as I've shown in my article here: http://www.austprojplan.com.au/using-p6-activity-counts-to-review-your-schedule/

    Hi Santosh, thanks for your

    Hi Santosh, thanks for your reply. However, it is not that feature that I was referring too. As I said it was a feature named 'Check Schedule'. I have provided a link below to a guide to using the feature back in Primavera v8.2.

    I have since spoken to someone else who said that the feature does still exist so I will have to wait and see once IT get my laptop working! 

     

    Thanks

    The ''Check Schedule''

    The ''Check Schedule'' functions exists for EPPM versions only and runs precisely the DCMA 14 assessment. So you check with your IT, why you dont have t.

    However and whenever I do not have access to the EPPM version, I like to use an external tool called Schedule Toolkit: https://xertoolkit.com/

    Takes me less that one minute to have all reports in my hands and it is easy to ready / share.

    Joaoxertool kit is good but

    Joao

    xertool kit is good but it costs money to buy. A free tool to use to perform the DCAM 14 point schedule analysis a free excel based is xer- reader tool here is the link. Another nice tool in there is the ability to print the calendars something that is missing from P6
