(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.
Dear All,
I need your expert advice on the following so plaese refine the below answers
1) What are basic principles and logic behind to prepare Target Programme when the Contract Programme is already in place?
Ans: Target Programme is the detailed programme which we prepare by adding new activities, changing the sequence and logic of contractual activities as per Site conditions to meet the Contractual finish date or complete the project at earliest
2) Why your Target programme looks entirely different from Contract Programme in respect of arrangements of activities?
Ans: We need to complete the project in time. To achieve this aim and to make the programme more realistic and workable we shuffle the activities, add new activities etc. So this does not make any difference that our Target Programme does not have the same sequence as of Contract Programme.
Ps. Mike testro : if you could reply, it would be great help
The earliest reponse would be appreciated
Regards
Steve

1) What are basic principles and logic behind to prepare Target Program when the Contract Program is already in place?
To me you have these two terms backwards. The Target Program (as also defined in Primavera P3) is you original Contractual baseline schedule which progress will be measured against.
And your Contract Program is your current working schedule.
2) Why your Target program looks entirely different from Contract Program in respect of arrangements of activities?
The target schedule is static and does not change this is your measuring stick. The current working schedule is a dynamic ever changing schedule that reflected revised sequences, added work activities, and actual dates when activities were actually started and or finished and actual field conditions to reflect how things are ACTUALLY happening as opposed to how they were PLANNED to happen.. These will NEVER look the same it is impossible. Once you change one thing on the current schedule by progressing it then it is different.
Even if you flip these two terms the theory behind them remain the same you can call one peanutbutter and the other jelly but the concept behind whatever you label them does not change.
Hi William,
We create Target Programme inorder to monitor the logic and the contractual keymilestones of the project, also how it impacts on the project finish.
It should substantially comply with all contractual terms and conditions of the project. Link all key milestones with the activities and the logic should be followed, also resource allocations and gang movements can be reflect on the Target programme. All handover dates and Issue of IFC drawings and procurement key milestones should be linked to activities.
Best Regards,
Sunil.
