Dear Members;

I need some tips regarding budgeted labor unit in P6 schedule;

Case:

I have a construction project with only one resource loaded (labour) and its assigned to all the activities with the budgeted labour units as per quantity of each activity, now how I can determine the percentage complete at WBS level as P6 calculate the Percentage complete with Budgeted Cost at WBS level.

 

Regards;

Siddiq

siddiq,

 

You must assign a cost to the resource, as P6's "Performance % complete" only rolls-up cost, not quantity. Of course if every resource is priced at $1.00 per unit then effectively they are the same thing. The % compete value you want  is Performance % complete for the current schedule ( effectively BCWP) and from the baseline Schedule % complete (effectively BCWS)
