This positive resolution increased significantly my rating and the possibility of the software to be actually chosen (both because dependencies work and the support behind the tool).

Because I had such a good opinion of the tool and I saw the forum was quite supportive of the users, I decided to login and ask about my specific issue. The only reason why I did not put it on top of the list was this incredible difficulty I experienced in scheduling by dependencies (as I tried everything with no results). I am running a huge (many many candidates) evaluation of Project Management applications, to choose which to use long-term for our organisation, and I actually had a very high opinion of Project'Or RIA. It is great, this fixed the greatest issue I had about using this sw. Now, this is a completely different story, the scheduling works just as fine and logically as you would expect from a traditional scheduling assistant. Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation. I tried on many projects and I cannot schedule in any of them: items are scheduled only according to dates. Is there maybe a Demo Project where the scheduling works fine? Now it leads to my question : did you run planning calculation ?Thanks but I knew that, I run it many times (just not mentioned it as the post was already long) I also removed the date from the ' handled' field but it did not change anything. If you have a look at the screenshot, it's from the Successor details and the ' real (d)' field is 0,00. So it may be before predecessor end date.I also considered that, I checked and there is no Real Work. There is one important restriction : if successor has some real work, the task starts at first real work input. The Predecessor for example: I set 2d duration and 5d work, and the bar is 2d only even if I set 50d work, it will still display 2d if I do not set anything on the Progress start/end dates fields, it will not display anything (empty row). Well, I guess you understood quite well the philosophy of the tool, and things should run as you expect.Thanks, unfortunately the display is still independent from the work.

This would mean that they are Duration driven, are they? How can this be changed please?Į.g: a task with 3d between Start/End Date, 5d of Assigned Work (100% Resource Allocation), and asap Planning rule (Effort/Work driven), should automatically adjust dates and duration to 5d instead 3d duration (or start/end dates difference) is displayed. However, I tried for hours, I assigned resources and work, changed all possible parameters, but cannot see the dates of the Successor adjusted according to the Predecessor's.Īlso, on the Gantt the bars of both Successor and Predecessor are displayed independently from the Assigned Work: they seems to be based only on the Dates, which are independent from the Assigned work. dependencies (if an activity has a predecessor, the predecessor is calculated first)' 'All the left work is planned, from starting date, to the max date to be able to plan the work.Ĭalculation is executed task by task, ordering thanks to : This is logical, as all the advanced scheduling assistants works this way. I read all the related instructions from the Guide and the Forum, and my understanding is that the scheduling of Successor elements is based on the scheduled dates of the Predecessor (which are based on the Assigned Work, since the tool is effort driven).

In the Planning, I cannot understand how to adjust Task Start/End dates according to the Predecessor activity (Dependency). Now, my experience is based on the Demo, this my issue:

First of all I want to thank a lot the developers and the administrators for providing a tool with such great potential and a very helpful support to the users community.
