Hi all,
I am new to planning feild, and need some help regarding the best combination to use in a road project
The exisiting schedule at my site have all the activities listed "% complete" types as "duration" for all the activities.
As its an expressway project, people are more concerened about the major commodities they achieve monthly and % progress tracking is done based on that in excel files. i hope with all the big road projects its like that.
Mostly activities are happening not as planned due to terrain restrictions and all those.
Planner is just updating the schedule (% duration) monthly based on feedback from site; not updating manhours or actual quantities. So when you look at the schedule it feels like u are ahead because some activities planned for next year are already completed.
My question is, will it be practically possible to develop and track a road project like a building where we update progress based on physical % complete and roll up based on mnhrs ?
If so what combination shall i use..? physical/ duration or units % complete ?
How is it done properly?
