Hi,

I am new to P3e.

WHAT is the meaning of START AND FINISH DATES IN P3E.and why it is different from ES,EF & LS,LF as in P3.2.

and how the CPM is calculated? is it related with START AND FINISH.OR STILL RELATED TO ES,EF & LS,LF.

Yes, if you resource level the data will be from the leveling.
At difference from P3 3.1 these data will not change after a re-scheduling with the same data date.

The two fields, Planned versus Early dates, will be different if you are resource leveling and have the correct setting. Then Planned will have the resource-leveled dates and Early will have the CPM dates.

Raj I am agree with you in a CPM calculation.
Here we were discussing what P3e is showing in some fields.
The earliest dates is teh answer.

It will be early start & early finish if you are planning forward pass. In backward planning it will be late start and late finish.

your answer:

The START DATE, as per P3ec definition is the current start date of the activity. Set to the planned start date until the activity is not started, then to the actual.

what current value the start date will take if it s not yet started.is’t the Early start or the Late start?


and same question about FINISH DATE

thanks luca for your support.

Hi
The START DATE, as per P3ec definition is the current start date of the activity. Set to the planned start date until the activity is not started, then to the actual.
The FINISH DATE, as well is the completion date of the activity. Ste to the finish planned date till the activity is in the future, the remaining finish date till the activity is under progress, then the actual.

regards,
Luca

PS
In P3ec have been introduced the planned date, that may be user input with the aim to have another baseline.
