(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.
The new blog post at www.TotalProjectControl.com is “Why is Critical Path Analysis Not Being Used?”.
Today’s blog points out that, despite the huge and obvious value of critical path analysis, a smaller and smaller percentage of project-driven organizations are sufficiently comfortable with its functionality to implement it across their projects.
This article shows how much the techniques of critical path analysis, including critical path drag, can add, not only to the initial planning process, but to the ability to manage all the variances and changes that WILL occur during execution. A new exercise (separate from the drag exercises on the website) walks the reader through the process of using a critical path schedule to alleviate the damage caused by negative variances.
If there is one technique that every competent project manager should be completely intimate with, it’s critical path analysis. But as the blog points out, we are moving ever further away from that circumstance.
Fraternally in project management,
