Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

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.

is it possible to update the progress against the critical path activities? critical path keeps on changing...so how can update the planned versus actual only for critical path activities?
Thanks

Dear Mukunda,

The Schedule is a live document. The approved Schedule is your baseline. This is what you measure your progress against. You do not measure the progress against the critical path. Critical Path are activities with float zero or negative (later on).

Each day the float on your activities decreases. So if you don’t complete the activity, and the float is gone, it becomes critical.

With kind regards,

Samer

critical path only changes once you make updates, just don’t forget to keep the baseline
