Activity relationship

try to put a lag of 1

Hi Shahzad,

The reason why the ES of your Predecessor & Successor are the same it is because the Activity Type of your Predecessor (NTP) is “Start Milestone” which is Zero Duration. Milestones has no duration and do not consume time.

Hello .

THANKS ARNOLD.

THE SAME THINIG I DID IN P3 IT IS WORKING FINE .

MEANS THE SECOND ACTIVITY WILL BE START AFTER FINISHED THE FIRST ONE.

NTP (ACTIVTY TYPE SM) ES 14-08-08 PREDESS..

KICKKOFF ( ACTY.TASK) ES 15-08-08 FS , NTP IS THE SUCSES...

EVEN IF I PUT LAG THERE IS NO CHANGE.

COULD YOU ADVISE ME HOW I CAN FIXED THIS PROB IN P6..
THANKS
SHAHZAD

Hi Shahjad,

I just want to clarify from you, NTP is the Predecessor or Successor? If NTP is the Predecessor, then just put 1 Day LAG, Relationship "FS" with Kickoff (Successor). Likewise, try to check your Calendar. Because here in UAE, during Friday we do not have work. 15-08-08 is Friday. So, automatically the ES of Successor will be on 16-08-08 (Saturday).

You can me e-mail to p3-fer@sixco.ae

Thanks,

Arnold

Hi,

YES , NTP IS THE PREDECESSOR , KICKOFF ( SUCCESSOR) OF NTP

I ALLREADY PUT 1 DAY LAG AND TRY BUT IT IS NOT WORKING,

I CHECKED MY CLEANDER AS WELL FRIDAY IS NON WORKING DAY YOU ARE RIGHT FRIDAY NO WROK.

THEN IT SHOULD COME 16-08-08

COULD YOU PLEASE TRY AT YOUR END IF YOU DO HAVE P6

Hello Shahzad,

Make sure that Successor (Kickoff) has no Actual Start.

Arnold

Hi Shahzad,

Whats ur Unit of Time? (Days or Hours?)

It might be in hours and u might have put lag as 01 and that might be in hours and not days.

Alternatively, Change ur timescale to hours and let us know the start and finish time in hours.

It shud work as it is in P3.

Cheers,

Raviraj

Hello Raviraj

Thanks for your reply.

yes you are right even i did in P3 it is working.
in case of P6 & P5 we have to put lag then only it will be work.

Thanks
shahzad

So, is ur problem solved now??

Arnold has suggested in post#5, to put a lag of 01day. It shud have worked then too.

Cheers,

Ravi

Ravi

for time being problem seem to be solved with arnold Advise.

If the Starting MS have the realation with Critical
(long path)Activity then the total duration of the project will be exceed up to 1 day.due to this lag.

in that case please advise

Thanks

Guys i ask one question to Mr.Arnold regarding resource update he advise me to do the setting as follows.
Hello-Shahzad

From Setting -> Calculations: Under Calculactions -> Resource Assignments "Recalculate Actual Units and Cost when duration % complete changes". Meaning everytime you make progress based on duration the resource units will also changes based in your input duration % complete because duration % complete is link to units % complete. Please check the attached files. You can manually change the units % complete based on physical % complete. Try to uncheck also the "Recalculate Actual Units and Cost when duration % complete changes" from Project Detail and observe what will happen. 1. Performance % Complete = The % Complete is used to compute Earned Value and maybe based on the Activity % Complete.2. Physical % Complete = % Complete can either be user entered or calculated from the activity’s weighted steps.3. Duration % Complete = The % Complete of the Activity Duration. Computed as (Original Duration - Remaining Duration)/Original Duration * 100
