Hello Planners,

Can anyone help me and give an idea on how to update a project schedule? Our project are slipping behind from the Programme of work. What i did is consult the construction team and discussed their performance whilst i update the schedule is base on information and changes they made. The logic and duration are keep on changing as per actual site condition to be a realistic update. However, our Consultant dispute this process of updating and keep on commenting "shifting of activitie may change the logic of the Master Programme and this could turn affect the time value factor and sequence of activities" in view to this are applicaple if the schedule meet all required dates which is pessimistic update without considering the changes on site.
Waiting for your idea and thoughts guys.....

Thanks,

Rodel

    Rodel,
    If you feel that the schedule has significant changes in term of logic , then you need to advise the consultant not only updating but Revising the schedule..
    The schedule that is running out from the original logic is not theoritically healthy to update without first doing the revised..

    Rodel,
    Take the word REVISE, meaning you need to change the logic if you feel there are significant changes from the original schedule logic.
    In such case, before anything; you need to inform the client/consuntant of such changes, then UPDATE...

    ulysses,

    This is the whole content of comment from our consultant. In your idea it is advisable to change the original duration most especially to activities which is already started for example, 7 days duration(O.D) of fixing rebar for slab. After two weeks I need to update the programme of work, the duration (O.D) became 10 days or more. Moreover, it is required that the percent complete is link to remaining duration, if it is the case update is pessimistic. Please send me your clarification guys i want to know if they are in right position or i’m wrong.

    Keep on Planning....

    Rodel ,

    YOU SAID; the duration (O.D) became 10 days or more.

    You need to keep in mind that O.D. will not change,however the Actual duration (A.D.) it will.
    Take note of your setting in autocost cost not to link the rule no.1 so that when the AD is more than the OD the % will not become Zero..

    Still, you are hesistant give me the full content from your consultant comments so I can help you more...
