Creating Project Calendars
- Created
- 7
- 6
It should include , Financial cut offs, Client report dates, Internal report dates
I believe Brown & Root had one before the MW Kelloggs merger
The procedure would be typical in a major EPC (Oil & Gas)company
It is NOT the procedure on how to create a calendar in Primavera.
Hope somebody can help

I think you may be confusing calendars with milestones.
Items that require action on a certain date on a programme are best expressed as milestones - using logic links or "end by" flags to fix them in the chart.
Calendars are used to set up non working periods such as weekends - holidays - predicted weather etc.

many thanks for the reply.
Possibly like milestones but more like a ’A Project Calendar’
I need to write a coompany procedure that can be implemented wherever in the world we have projects
A procedure that will layout the calendar format for all those who need it on the project. All report cut off dates will be need to shown from company financial reports to dates when internal project review take place.
I am sure somebody can lay their hands on the old Brown and Root procedure

In that case just use your own knowledge of your companies procedures. Forget about any other.
Use an excell spreadsheet.
1. Set down the various reports required.
2. Set down the points in the project from which the reports have to be generated.
3. Set down a reasonable time for the reports to be put ogether
4. Add 3 and 2 and you have a report required date.
Alternatively
1. Take the required report date.
2. Set down the points in the project from which the reports have to be generated.
3. Deduct 2 from 1 and you have the time required to generate the report.
Either of these can then be standardised for any project.
Best regards

If you donn’t know how to do it say so and get the consequences.
Otherwise use the God given intelligence that you were born with and put something together using your own concepts.
If you don’t know what your boss requires he doesn’t either. Ask him for a template to check if he does.
Get your ideas down on a spreadsheet - review the results - check it against what you think is reasonable - and then submit it for review.
If in doubt bluff and bullshit will baffle brains.
Just remember Bullshit won’t baffle Bullshit.
