There are a range of options for the calculation of dates and float in a CPM network.
I’ve just finished a White Paper focusing on the basic calculations and would appreciate comments on the correctness of the calculations and the methodology adopted. The aim is to produce a definitive document that is generally agreed.
You can download the paper from http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/PDF/Schedule_Calculations.pdf All comments gratefully appreciated.
Scheduling has lost a lot of float in the last few years! And arguably the practice of scheduling is sinking…..
Are the two phenomena connected? Is this a total disaster or largely irrelevant??
As part of my research for the new CIOB scheduling guide, I have been digging through some old books and resources from the 1960s and 70s. 40 years ago, float was a far more sophisticated concept compared to today but how significant is this loss of insight?
You are invited to read the discussion paper ‘Schedule Float’ and then comment on this blog.
