Hi,



It is ussally good to have an expected finish date on any activtiy that has an actual start date.



Your case is no different, you have very rightly unlinked % and RD. You can either put an expected finish date on the started activties so that it can be automatically reduce the RD to match the expected completion date or just keep on adjusting the RD.

James,



the software is Primavera 3.1



Mark,



The reason that i reduce the duration each week is to maintain the finish target for each activity, unless there are some information that the activity would finish earlier or later, but what about other act that does not have any available information especially activity that the target already behind data date. Please advice if there are more accurate method.



Thanks Guys for sharing this,

Each period update, requires the planner to ascertain where each activity is. Depending on your expertise of the project you either make this decision yourself or ask the person in charge of this activity. Whjat you need to know is when will the activity finish and how far have they gone. However software can calculate the PC based on the remaining duration over the original duration. This is not ideal but in some case the only solution as often the estimate PC is over cooked.



Reducing your plan by 7 days each week isnt planning but you won’t be the first or last to do this.

I think here Pharrel you need to really understand the basics of planning, But firstly it would help if you could indicate to oneself which software package you are using??
