    Hi Angus,

    Clarification please on what your client means by linear and non-linear progress. I’m making the assumption that non-linear means that the activity stops-and-starts....but I could be wrong.

    Cheers.

    James.

    Angus,

    It’s basically linear, so you have to break it down into smallest possible detail to make it realistic.

    Angus,

    You can make it linear on nonlinear as it suits you. Just define the resource curve you want tto use to progress your activities.

    Try it and in few runs you can have the progress your client want.

    Cheers,

    Ronnie

    you are right, you can plan your network in both linear and non linear.

    However, that is only the plan, in progress update you progress your activity base on actual completion.

    In activity progress you have a few choice,
    1. Duration
    2. Physical
    3. 0/100
    4. 50/100
    5. Weighted
    6. Cost (Acutal)

    you need to work out the method prior to approval of your schedule

    Regards
