(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.
Hi everybody,
I have this question how to prepare programme of works narrative based only on the Baseline programme, and the programme was prepared in MS Project by different person, moreover the programme is missing Method Statement of work.
I already identified the critical path in the programme and the programme activities include resources but I it's not clear how was foreseen to undertake works and manage resources.
As well I need to explain how was forseen to undertake mobilisation, traffic management and Engineer's facilities.
Thank you in advance for any suggestion..

Thank you Rafael for the explanation and attched material..
In order for activity duration be justified/validated we need both, volume of work and resource production rates. True duration type activities whose duration is not dependent on the resources do happen, but are rare, an example of a duration activity is concrete curing.
To my understanding P6 does not relate in any way activity duration to volume of work and resource production rates, therefore it must be disclosed either in the narrative documents or as user defined fields that in no way will drive activity duration, scheduler should calculate it manually.
Volume of work and production rates from Rafael Davila
you will resource load the schedule look at the resource curve and state what the curve shows. We plan to start working with approximately 5 men and steadly incource our manpower to as the work becomes availabe and paln to peak at 50 men for approximately 4 months then begin to slowly ramp back down to approimately 5 men to finish the project.
Thank you Rafael..
Actually softwre does include volume of work but doesn't include resource production rate.
Thank you Zlotan, I"ll take in notes these points, but not clear if its possible to explain how resources were envisaged to work based on the Baseline programme?
If the software does not disclose:
a) Volume of work and
b) Resource production rates
Then these shall be included on the narrative, otherwise it would essentially be useless as to verify the validity of activity durations. This can be done though user defined fields to show, activity volume of work, unit of volume and resource loading production rates.
If reviewer cannot verify the validity of activity durations then the schedule cannot be endorsed to be well-grounded.
The Baseline CPM Network narrative should include the folowing:
