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.

 I have been asked as a client-planner to produce an impact analysis in the graphical form of a delay which has been raised by contractor accepted by the client. Apparently what comes to mind is an S curve to forecast new completion date considering contractor usually submit xer file. Just want to clarify if anyone has done this before using any other method as against the aforementioned

Hi Debosky

When you add progress to a programme you set data date with a dropline that sets the date of the progress report.

The drop line can be Zig Zag or straight.

When the progress is added and the dropline is straight then the actual completion date is revealed when rescheduled

You can set up 2 colums that shows planned completion and actual completion.

This data can then be extracted to a spreadsheet and you can create youe s-curve.

I trust that is clear enough.

Best regards

an S-curve typically deals with resources. I think that the client is looking for a TIA time impact analysis which meands adding the delay into the schedule and showing the activities and logic that was added to impacted the schedule in a graphical Gantt chart or time scaled logic diagram.

Hi Debosky The usual and simplest way is to set the dropline to vertical and re schedule. Best regards Mike Testro
