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.

In P3e (advanced scheduling options), there are options for "Compute Total Float as":
1- Late start-Early start
2- Late finish-Early finish


I cant understand in which case, these two might differ and how we may benefit from this option.

Anybody there to give me an example?


Thanks
Nozar

1. Level Of Effort activities are entirely dependent upon which setting is used to compute float.

2. Activities that are constrained by logic to their start as well as to their finish may show different float values depending upon this setting.
