🔴DESCRIPTION:
Ever get confused by Retained Logic, Progress Override, and Actual Dates in Primavera P6? This video clears it all up! Learn the key differences between these critical schedule options and how they impact your project planning.
Developing project plans in Primavera P6 involves identifying the sequence or network logic in which your activities should occur. The network logic is strategic in the calculation of a Critical Path Method schedule, which is calculated based on the activity durations and network logic (predecessor/successor relationships).
The schedule’s early dates are calculated during the “forward” pass and the late dates are calculated during the “backward” pass. The “optimized” project plan becomes the basis for the “baseline” or target plan, which is utilized for performance measurement. Primavera P6 tutorial demonstrates the options for calculating the schedule when activities occur “out of sequence” thereby violating the network.
🔴BENEFITS OF LEARNING:
✅Reiterate the value of understanding these three options for making informed decisions in Primavera P6.
✅Emphasize how choosing the right option can avoid schedule delays, improve risk management, and enhance project success.
✅Briefly mention additional resources like Primavera P6 documentation.
✅Historical record: Provides a clear picture of past project progress and timelines.
✅Analysis tool: Enables retrospective analysis of actual performance against planned schedules.
✅Reporting: Useful for generating reports based on actual dates and durations.
🔴ADDITIONAL TIPS:
✅Remember:
🌟Choose Retained Logic for a realistic plan that respects dependencies.
🌟Use Progress Override to catch up on delays without affecting the plan.
🌟Rely on Actual Dates for a real-time snapshot of progress, but keep data updated.
🔴CONCLUSION:
In this video, we explored the three main options for scheduling progressed activities in Primavera P6: Retained Logic, Progress Override, and Actual Dates. Each option offers distinct advantages and challenges, making the choice a powerful tool for shaping your project schedule.
Ultimately, the best option for your project depends on your specific needs and the context of your schedule. Understanding the strengths and limitations of each choice empowers you to make informed decisions that optimize your project's success.

Hi.. can u explain
how it affects the float calculation?

[@PLANNINGP6]

These three options in Primavera P6 determine how the software handles activities that have started before their predecessors were completed (out-of-sequence work). Their impact on float calculation is crucial for accurate project scheduling.
Retained Logic:
• Respects network logic: Maintains the original project logic.
• Accurate float: Calculates float based on the original schedule, considering predecessor relationships.
• Potential negative float: Can result in negative float if an activity starts before its predecessor finishes.
• Conservative scheduling: Provides a more realistic view of project progress and potential delays.
Progress Override:
• Ignores network logic: Allows activities to progress regardless of predecessor status.
• Inflated float: Can overestimate the available time for activities, leading to optimistic scheduling.
• Potential schedule slippage: May mask schedule issues by providing unrealistic float values.
• Cautionary use: Should be used carefully and with a clear understanding of its implications.
Actual Dates:
Similar to Retained Logic: Respects the network logic but uses actual dates for calculations.
Accurate float: Calculates float based on actual progress and original schedule.
Potential negative float: Can result in negative float if actual work is ahead of schedule.
Detailed analysis: Provides a more granular view of schedule performance.
Key Differences and Considerations:
• Retained Logic and Actual Dates are generally preferred for accurate float calculations and maintaining schedule integrity.
• Progress Override should be used cautiously and with a clear understanding of its impact on float values.
• Negative float in Retained Logic and Actual Dates indicates potential schedule issues that require attention.
• The choice of option depends on the project's specific requirements and the desired level of schedule accuracy.
Example:
If Activity B depends on Activity A (Finish-to-Start relationship) and Activity B starts before Activity A is complete:
• Retained Logic: Activity B's progress is paused until Activity A finishes. Float for Activity B is calculated based on the original schedule.
• Progress Override: Activity B continues regardless of Activity A's status. Float for Activity B is inflated.
• Actual Dates: Activity B's progress is paused until Activity A finishes, but float calculations are based on actual dates.
In conclusion, understanding the differences between Retained Logic, Progress Override, and Actual Dates is essential for accurate float calculation and effective project management in Primavera P6. By carefully considering the specific project context, you can choose the appropriate option to optimize schedule analysis and decision-making.

@@PLANNINGP6 Thank u for the detailed explanation😊

[@knowldegesharing]

Hello sir.. I really loved your videos and teaching style.
1. If we want to progress some activities with retained logic and some with progress override... is this possible?
2. Can we change this option for every progress update ?

[@PLANNINGP6]

Hello Brother.
Thanks for your appreciation.
please find below answers to your questions:
1- No it is not possible for some activities. It will apply to the entire programme of works.
2- yes we can change the logic at every update as per requirements for the entire programme of works/schedule.
