Hi Mike,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have a degree of familiarity with the various delay analysis methods and am aware of the differences between them and the different results they produce. Where I find myself having difficulty is when I am dealing with planners/schedulers on site who although they are competent planners have never undertaken a delay analysis and don't know how to present the information and results.

Because I don't have the level of familarity with Primavera I am not able to give them the hands on instructions they need. An example of a recent question I was asked was about how to present an as planned impacted delay analysis. The planner was asking should he show the delay as a separate activity or extend the delayed activity. He was also asking about how to physically show the delay on the as planned programme. Luckily a senior planner was able to help him out on this occasion as we were on a tight timescale.

I know these are all questions that can be easily answered with a bit of research and time but i was just wondering if there were any books that would act like a procedures manual so I dont have to go through the trial and error process of finding the best solution to their queries.

I suppose ultimately what I am looking for is something that will bridge the gap between knowing how to carry out a delay analysis in theory and physically being able to do it in Primavera.

Any advice/guidance would be appreciated.
