Raymund - totally agree, but the Contracting Officer does not. When he said he couldn't see the Critical Path, I told him to look at the Critical Path gantt chart that was also provided. Not good enough for him. He sees black & white with as much common sense as a shelled walnut.
Zoltan - thank you for those ideas. If he keeps belly aching, I may try that multiple plot approach.
Johannes - I;m sure those looked pretty good, especially if you could get them on a max of 3 sheets. I'm at 8 now for legibility and it's beyond waste.
I agree with Raymond. I still see the requirements in the administration procedures for off-shore contracts. My experience is that the scheduling model shall be created as an Network diagram but the the Schedule instances are presented in an Gantt barchart.
However nicely plotted diagrams look impressive! Takes me back to the late seventies . We drafted them by hand!
I could see this being 5 seperate plots but not one
if you want to get this try this
3.5.5 Network Diagram - Plot this using a plotter click on the activity network icon
3.5.5.1. Continuous Flow - I do not think that you can trun off the arrows. You can modify the box to get the required data in the box. The activity number, description, duration, and estimated earned value.
3.5.5.2. Project Milestone Dates - The only way to get the project start date is to add it as a header or footer. Any contract required interim completion dates, and contract completion dates can be shown in the modified box but it will be for all activities not just milestones
3.5.5.3. Critical Path - yes color plot in red
3.5.5.4. Banding - you can use Grouping here but then this defeats the critical path item above
if seperate plots this makes more sense
3.5.5 Network Diagram - Plot this using a plotter click on the activity network icon
3.5.5.1. Continuous Flow - Plot a times scaled logic diagram from left to right and turn off the relationships This wil be on the rigth in the graph portion. You can add columsn in the data table portion on the left to get the required data such as the activity number, description, duration, and estimated earned value.
3.5.5.2. Project Milestone Dates - Filter for milestones only.
3.5.5.3. Critical Path - Filer of the critical ptha only and plot in the color redred
3.5.5.4. Banding - you can use Grouping here and group it any way that you wish
Andre,Customize the Bars by
Andre,
Customize the Bars by using a Pattern on it so that even printing in B/W the Critcal Activities will be recognized.

Andre,I think that the Text
Andre,
I think that the Text of the Specs is considered obsolete, I have seen the same specs 20 years ago with one of the Projects I was assigned.
The layouts available from the Scheduling software or Customized layout according to Client's rep requirement will be acceptable.
