I would like to know what is the difference between total float and variance target 1 early finish.
For eg. I have a baseline program say P100. I copy the same and make another target say T100. In this T100, I update the program by current data date. Then I create a copy of T100 say U100. In U100, I enter the actual start and finish and % complete, and schedule it. The columns I create in U100 are target1 early start, target1 early finish, target2 % complete, percent complete, total float and variance target1 early finish. The target 1 for U100 is P100 and target2 for U100 is T100.
I have always assumed that variance taget1 early finish will give me the delay. Is this true? Then what does total float signify.
Any help on this??
