Showing Client delay in Started activity

Hi Olubukola

1. Since the activity was started you could check the remaining duration[5 days] and further duration[5days] required to complete the activity,add the above said two things [10 days] and introduce a new activity of whose duration is the sum [ 10 days ]

2.What is last accepted baseline?

To show and measure the delay a schedule update should be performed prior to the delay event without the delay activity included and another run including the delay event. This procedure must be performed sequentially as the prior delaying events might have an effect on the successors delaying events that must be considered. The difference in projected job finish date is the delay, delay to date if the impact has not finished at the time of the analysis. Look for the extensive literature on this available on the internet.

The delay event can be a new activity properly linked as to reflect the impact or can be a change in calendars affecting a single, a group or all activities. In the case the impact is on calendars it is wise to create an activity that spells it out loud and clear, with a start date at the first calendar impacted date and a finish date at the last impacted calendar date, this activity fixed by constraint dates and not linked to any other activity.

Remember many contracts require you to notify impact events as soon as they start not as soon as they finish and not doing so might waive your right for a claim. If the finish of the delaying even cannot be determined within a reasonable time then a partial EOT should be requested spanning a specific period then afterwards further EOT’s can be requested until the impact finishes or its finish can be predicted.

If the delay event started prior to your submission of the last accepted baseline you might be in a difficult situation because of the legal implications it might have. But in that case it might prevent you to claim only for the period spanning from the start to the date of submission of your last revised Contractual Baseline you still should be able to claim the impact starting from the date of submission of your last Contractual Baseline. Note I said date of submission and not date of approval, this time difference still belongs to you.

Gents,

Thanks for your replies.
