Hello. I'm in need for some help. The spec (shown below) is calling for a Network Diagram. I have used the Activity Network view to create one and have tinkered in Visualizer. A big problem for me is that the project goes from 2012 into 2016 which is making me have sheets upon sheets of printed material, even on large sized plots.
The first one I sent over had 27 11x17 sheets and the Contracting Officer went ape xxxx. Originally there were 80, but I deleted the empty sheets. He wants plots. So I sent him six 40x30 sheets, but the Critical Path wasn't shown (printed in b&w, trying to save money). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated (I already thought of using a highlighter on the critical activities, but don't think tha'd go over well).
SPEC:
3.5.5. Network Diagram
The network diagram is required for the Preliminary, Initial, and Periodic
Updates. The network diagram shall depict and display the order and
interdependence of activities and the sequence in which the work is to be
accomplished. The Contracting Officer’s review of the Contractor’s
compliance with the conditions outlined in this paragraph will include,
but is not limited to, the following:
3.5.5.1. Continuous Flow
Diagrams shall show a continuous flow from left to right, with no arrows
from right to left. The activity number, description, duration, and
estimated earned value are to be shown on the diagram.
3.5.5.2. Project Milestone Dates
The diagram must include the project start date, any contract required
interim completion dates, and contract completion dates.
3.5.5.3. Critical Path
The critical path must be clearly shown. (Color Prints I suppose)
3.5.5.4. Banding
Activities are to be organized as directed to assist in the understanding
of the activity sequence.
Typically, this flow will group activities by category of work, work area,
and/or responsibility.
Thanks,
Andre
