In last month’s newsletter we discussed the Oracle Primavera P6 Scheduling Options of Retained Logic compared to Progress Override, and discovered how to use the Progress Override setting to progress work out of sequence. This month, we look at another Scheduling Option available in Oracle Primavera P6, Multiple Float Paths. Top Tip #1: Setting Multiple Float Paths The Critical Path
Last month we discussed Displaying Variance to Approved Baselines, and then being able to compare the Baseline Bar against current project bars by using Activity Layout settings. This month, we move into looking at some Scheduling Techniques such as Scheduling Options available in Oracle Primavera P6 and the first option we will look at this month is the Retained
Last month we discussed ‘Updating and saving a baseline’, and then being able to compare the baseline bar against Current Project Bars by using Activity Layout settings. This month we conclude our topic on baselines with a brief discussion on how to display variances between a project and any baselines assigned to that project within
Last month we looked at ‘Printing Activity Layouts’ and tips to assist with the tailoring of the information printed. This month we cover updating a baseline, and after saving a baseline, being able to see the baseline bar against current project bars if your activity layout setting is right.
