Hello Again P3 Experts,
Usually the P3 default during running the schedule is by retained logic, I just wanna know when should we use progress override, can someone give me a good/clear example for a vertical construction which almost activities are dependent to one another and for a horizontal construction where activities usually not dependent to each other. Is Progress Override calculation allowed by consultants which they say it will ruin the critical or near critical path of the schedule
Thanks.....

Progress override will indeed neglect the critical and near critical path of the program because when you schedule the program it suggests that the started activity/ies be finished as per the pre-programmed duration without minding the completion of its predecessor activity/ies.
Truly, if there is a lot of project delay, with the retained logic scheduling, your program will always be blown out of its completion period. Nevertheless, it shows the realistic status of the project. Re-scheduling effort is just a pain-in-the-ass on the planner’s part.
Utlizing the progress override scheduling will in a way save a bit of your time in re-scheduling as the program somehow sticks near to its completion period with less duration for adjustment to work on. One thing that I do to go around with the forced advanced completion of activities is that I am changing the predecessor relationship from FS to FF (not of course if it is already FF) and put some +lag if seen to be unrealistic in the program.
Simply sharing.
