Requirement for Level 1 Program

Hi....

My Dear Friends,

THis is SathiarajKandasamy from qatar.

i need one clarification in Primavera P6.

How to incorporate in Primavera for Actual % Completion(Progress) = Planned % Completion(Progress).

For Example i have already one approved execution programme for my project.

One Project Completion for Planned=100%, but Actual=45% only.

I want to submit revised or recovery execution programme.

So Anybody please help me.

Thanks & Regards,

Sathiaraj Kandasamy

Ok, been planning for 10 years, and only in the last 12-18 months have I heard people referring to Level 1, Level 2 etc programmes. (Everyone is at it - even my mate who is a PQS and knows diddly jack about planning, but confidently drops it into conversation as if he has a PhD in "Level" planning)

5 years ago people (at least all the ones I dealt with in the industry) talked about Summary Programmes, Detailed Programmes etc

All of a sudden its "Levels" as if there is a universal meaning to the word. Did I miss an industry wide email introducing and explaining the term too?

Surely it's such a meaningless word as well, as it will mean completly different things depending on what you are planning

i need sample report of the following document-progress report procedure, project calender procedure, report register. Also need guide for the preparation of level 1 , level 2 and level 3 baseline schedule.

Level 1 schedules are the top level Milestone summary for a project.  Contractors normally are level 4.  download the paper from: http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/Planning.html#Roles to see the normal usage of these terms and what the schedule is supposed to contain.

"Levels will mean completly different things depending on what you are planning". So true. 

Dear all,

level one will show the main gauid lines of the prepared program like but not limited to

The contractrual milestones ,WBS for the major ativities ,constrains,mangement milestos,ay other cotractual or techeical requirements.

upon the approval of the above the detailed program with recources loaded and cost loaded and cash flow ca be prepared ad submitted for approval.

Hi Artagnan,

The purpose of this level 1 programme is to show the coordination of all aspects of the project like feasibility, design, procurement, manufacture, assembly, production,construction, installation and commissioning.

It is presented not only as a barchart, but also with a set of milestone dates against which the project is monitored.

Ideally, this programme should be no more than a single sheet, containing perhaps 30 to 100 activities (depending upon the complexity of the project).

This programme/schedule will normally illustrate the critical path of the project.

The important point here is to consider who will receive and review this level 1 programme/schedule, which can often include people who do not readily understand such matters, meaning that the level of complexity should reflect this.

Level (-2) All Owner Jobs (To the Owner "The mother of the Whole")
Level (-1) Owner Jobs by Municipality
Level 0 Individual Owner's Job
Level 1 All Contractor's Portfolios
Level 2 Individual Portfolios
Level 3 Jobs By Continents
Level 4 Jobs By Country
Level 5 Jobs by Municipalities
Level 6 .... whatever gets down your pants

Level 10 Whole Project
Level 11 Zones or Sections
Level 12 Workfront summaries under Level 2
Level 13 Task Cascades for each workfront
Level 12 Individual tasks

I see the pretentious of some to define a "Universal" self serving definition of levels quite stupid. It shall means different to many, depending on your needs.

I use several WBS definitions for a single job, each with different levels, this complicates the above myopic vision.

My needs do not fit within Mosaic Definitions nor others, more frequently than not does not fit the client needs. Let every one use his own, let Owners require whatever they feel fit, let Contractors use whatever they feel fit.

P.S. If negative float is not an erroneous concept I guess negative level is not.
