Project completion date brought forward but Total Float still remains the same. Why?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have an ongoing project whereby the contract completion date is
3FEB03.
At the latest update the project is delayed by 72days (Total Float =
-72days) due to reasons beyond the control of the contractor. An
extension of time claim was made by adding the necessary activities to
the schedule to prove that the delay was contributed by other
interfacing contractor. Based on the EOT claim, the contractor was
awarded an EOT of 72days and the revised completion date has been brought forward by 72days from 3FEB03 to 16APR03.
From the menu File->Project Overview...", I have changed the "Project
must finish by:" from 3FEB03 to 16APR03 to reflect the revised
completion date. However when I re-schedule the project the Total Float still shows a -72day instead of zero! Why is it that the Total Float calculation is not based on the "new" completion date?
Any feedback will be very much appreciated.
Best regards,
