I am the recipient of an IMS containing nearly 1400 Summary and Detail Tasks.
The problems I have are that there looks like there is some form of
corruption in the file and I after 50+% completion, I have to insert new
"work" numbers. I have tried using various methods to easily remove the
corruption (saving as another file and opening that new file in Project) but
has been unsuccessful and breaks the schedule more.
The project has already been baselined, and we are over 50% complete the
project. Here in lies the main trouble. The IMS is currently resourced with
a single resource per detail Task (the Assignment owner) since Leveling the
IMS is not a priority. Also, the hammock tasks are usurping the Critical
Path. (my solution is to add a task that completes 2d prior to actual end of
project and hammock to that in order to view an accurate critical path)
My current thought process is to:
1. Copy tasks and WBS to Excel, and Paste back into the New Project File.
2. Set to Fixed Work (as these are the numbers that CAN NOT change)
3. Reset the Dependencies and Hammock tasks
4. Insert the Resources
5. Insert the Fixed Work Numbers
6. Insert the Duration (with the assumption that this SHOULD change the
resource usage %.
7. Re-baseline
8. Insert the Old Baseline Numbers
9. Insert the "Actual Start" then "Actual Finished" Dates
10. Insert the "Actual Work" then the "Remaining Work" #'s
11. Verify the % Work Complete to be accurate
Does this sound right to all of you?
