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.

Hi Deep,

I’m not sure of what’s the basis of your first exercise and on how you arrived on the figured shown on your comments. If you followed the method on the second exercise then that should be fine but try to check it manually if you got same result.

For your info: Late Start and Late finished is based on your total floats generated by your logic.

Rodel

Greetings Rodel

i tried the method exactly as you described, and the results were quite impressive.

I tried to get the total percentage by Organizing and found that the late percentage was far below than what was mentioned in a previous report(which may be wrong on first hand)

As per earlier report the percentages were
Early : 53
Actual : 37.6
Late : 42

By the method suggested by you (after organizing)

Early : 53
Actual : 37.6
Late : 24

Expecting your comments
Deep

Hi Hassan,
Hmmm... seems your missing one step. Have you check the result when you do a global change if the ES has been replaced by LS and EF by LF? The best way to check it is to display the LS, LF of original programme and ES, EF of late programme (target 2). If both of them are having the same date then you’re fine. Check the update data date of actual plan and late programme (target2) if updated correctly. I’m always using this method on my programme to reflect on my histogram and S-curve comparing the actual, baseline and late programme. On P3e it’s much easier because Sch% and Act% are available and only the late programme I need to add to have Late %.

Check your data first and let me know so I can help you further.

Regards,
Rodel

Hi Deep,

I will teach you a best way of doing it on a reliable method.

1) First make 2 copies of your Original programme.
2) The original programme will be your live programme where you reflect the actual data.
3) 2nd programme will be your Baseline or plan programme. – Target 1
4) 3rd programme will be your late plan programme – Target 2
5) Open the 3rd copy (late plan programme) and do a global change
6) Click Tools-> Global change and click add
7) Change the title to change to late plan (so you can remember next time you use it)
8) On the selection criteria enter
Then: ES EQ LS
      EF EQ LF
      OD EQ LF – LS
9) Click Trial Run to view the changes and click run if you’re happy on the result
10) Click Tools-> Update Progress and select your data date. (Remember not to run the schedule “F9” otherwise your bar will be move to as your logic are not change)
11) Select File-> Close and Open the 2nd programme (baseline)
12) Click Tools-> Update Progress and select same data date as the first one. (Again remember not to run the schedule “F9”)
13) Select File-> Close and Open the Original programme.
14) Update the progress based on the actual and run the schedule “F9”
15) Attached the two other programme (Baseline & Late programme) as target 1 & 2
16) Modify your bar setting by adding 2 more bars target1 ES/EF and target 2 ES/EF
16) Add two columns besides your % using Target1 % and Target2 %.

Now you have a clear comparison of Actual, Plan and Late Plan %.

Cheers,
Rodel

Okay i shall clarify my problem.

Is there any reliable method to find the physical progress percentage(using durations) of the whole project based on the maximum allowable delays, as of a data date.

this is to compare the actual progress percentage, planned percent, and my query "late planned percent".

hope someone would help
thanks in advance

not sure what you are trying to figure out, but you can try updating your Target, it will give you the actuals for your early & late dates...
