All,
I am attempting to schedule a number of work streams to achieve a milestone on a large infrastructure project. Half of the work streams are fully funded and some have no funding at all but I have predicted procurement, engineering and construction timescales for them. Some people in the project want to only show the funded work in the live forecast schedules and have the unfunded works in a what if schedule whereas others want to show everything in the live forecast schedules. I am of the opinion that if it is a work stream that has to be completed it should be in the live forecast schedule whether it has funding or not. This seems pretty obvious to me, but if anyone has a view backing up the unfunded offline arguement I would like to hear it.
Cheers, Tom
