Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi, PP people,

I’ve created an S Curve (Plan vs Actual using manhours) after everybody agreed with the schedule. Now after halfway, we noticed that we are slipping back. The management decided that I need to create a new S Curve based on current progress since current early finish vs baseline early finish going to be about 10 to 15 days different.

My question,
1. How do I created a new S Curve based on current MS Project data?
2. My idea is to filter only "Incomplete Task" in Task Usage view, copy the manhours and plot a new S Curve. Is this the right way to do it?
3. How do you cope (in terms of reporting of Plan vs Actual % )with changing in schedule?

Hope somebody out there have encounter the same problem that I have.

Thank you.

First update the activities which are in progress or completed. then put the status date in project info & update the project. Activities not completed or in progress will be resheduled from the status date according to dependencies but be carefull if you have set up constraints. May be possible your project complettion will extend and if you want end date keep the same adjust it increasing resources if it is resource driven.
Based on this revised shedule you can create revised S curve.
