Hi, Gene None that I know use alphabetical order. ;-) But, they often do stop arguing about priority, and let a master scheduler propose a pipelining sequence...
Hello to all I am confused with what you mean by Project Priority What does this mean? Does a project with higher priority than another has to be processed...
... No, this is not correct. Prioritization at the project level is required for proper task-level prioritization, without which we force resources to ...
In other words then: The most important of projects should be programmed in the drum resource first. Then the second most important, and from there on? Then,...
... company will be finished first, right? Of course it does, if we plan it correctly. After all, if a specific project is more important and more valuable...

Obviously we have quite different perceptions of reality. I've lived in product development for my entire career. If ever there was a shortage of projects,...

Hi Rob My answer would be YES I can BUT as I know more about the content from each of them I knew that they were describing two very different organisations. ...
Hi Larry! Nice to hear from you and thanks for the kind reply. As a TOC devotee, I understand what you and Rob are saying. But, in the companies that I work...
Richard, Do you always speak in questions? Tony Product Development Institute http://www.pdinstitute.com (908) 230-5348 ... From: CriticalChain@yahoogroups.com...
Actually, Tony, Santiago is correct. It has to be about enterprise throughput. Otherwise you are back to local optimization again. Of course, if Project #1 is...
Hi, Tony I think you will agree your statement is only true if all projects are about the same in duration and drum engagement. That has not been the case in...
Larry, I don't see why the validity of my statement exists only if all projects are of approximately the same duration and drum engagement. Can you explain ...

Wow, what a long thread for an innocent question! :) There's something that is bothering me with your answers. When a bid is won there is a promised due date,...
Hi, Tony If one project is a year long, and the drum use doesn't start for six months, and a lower priority one is three months long, with the drum as the...
Hi, Matias Yes, you oversimplify for two reasons. Most importantly, there are probably as many different situations as there are people on this list. You seem...
Hi, All Can anyone help on a couple of MS Project problems? While I have had some people experience these problems before, I never have, and have been able to...
Ah! I think that now I begin to see the difference between your mental model and mine. I've been making a couple of assumptions, probably because I've been...
I can add other cases where it's not desirable to finish sooner as in tailings dams where they will move from the old to the new one in a fixed date. What's...
Larry, I cannot reproduce a case where fixed durations tasks would be automatically modified by Project. If the tasks have been properly set to a fixed ...
Hi, Tony Yes, I thought you were making that assumption. It does not apply in most of the implementations I have done. I can see how it might apply in new...
Hi, David Thanks for your inputs on this. I wasn't able to produce the problems before, either. Usually I found when people complained about the durations...
A couple of ideas: If the file already has actual start dates, or I think past start dates, then if you adjust durations (or perhaps the calendar) you may see...
