Calendar

It is not enough to define which resource will work in what shift. Assigning resources to activity you don’t know when this activity will be performed before scheduling/levelling your project. Assigning resources with wrong calendars you may cause unnessessary delays.

So the software shall simulate project performance without preliminary knowledge of the time (shifts) when activities will be performed assigning resources with necessary calendars when activity start day will become clear and changing assigned resources when one shift finishes and the next shift starts.

So the task is much more complicated than you think.

How about MS Project and P3? In both software you can develop the schedule using CPM. Later if you prefer you can swift to Bar Chart.

can any one help in finding comparison of software dealing with pert/cpm

thanks

if you make a new calendar for each special resources then you can define working hours based on 1 shift or 2 shifts or 3 shifts

Hi there,

you need to create your project based on Hours then you can go to global calendar and define 2 shifts

cheers
