If you have fallen victim to some of these practices, don’t worry – we’ll see if we can straighten your project out. If none of these apply to you, congratulations! Consider this an entertaining read at lunch. So this post is going to present some of the worst practices we’ve seen in the building of Primavera P6 schedules. The lengthy process of building a project schedule in Primavera P6 can be riddled with pitfalls, tradeoffs and poor practices that can lead to poorly prepared schedules. Putting a schedule together is almost never an easy and straightforward task. Maybe you’ve been in the same situation in your job perhaps you were sent a contractor’s schedule to review, or maybe you inherited a “less than ideal” schedule from someone else, or maybe you work as a Forensic Analyst and see this sort of thing all the time. And it didn’t end up just taking a few minutes. Once I’d opened up P6, imported the xer and clicked Activities, I was completely stymied by what was supposed to be a professional Primavera P6 project schedule.
“Send it over.” I knew I was in trouble at “Um.” I’d like your opinion on it.” “Um….Ok.” I said. We just hired a new scheduler and he put it together. The day was looking up, until he asked me, as I was just about to head out the door, “Would you mind looking a schedule over for me? It should only take you a few minutes. I was going to win some business and they were going to get complete Primavera P6 training for 10 schedulers. (To make the discussion simpler, I am assuming only normal performance delays without changes or other factors outside contractor’s control).The meeting had gone well. that would mean the contractor is not actually on track and is still delayed, which is unacceptable, of course. While contractors are often asked to mitigate delay, the speaker does not realize he/she is actually asking for recovery because no one would really be happy if the contractor only mitigated the delay …. When it comes to planning, the line gets blurred and the focus is on “achieving recovery by means of corrective actions” which have a mitigatory effect on the state of things, but do not stop with mitigatory effects only. This is as far as linguistics are concerned. Mitigate, on the other hand, is not necessarily focusing on recovery, rather only on reducing the difference. The only slight difference in these two is that recovery means getting back to the condition where no more improvement is desired/needed since you are exactly where you should be. To recover means to return to a normal state (also literal). Catch-up is better identified as Recovery. ‘To mitigate’ means to make an undesireable thing less severe (literal meaning).
