How To Update Progress In Primavera P6 || Update Project Schedule in 2020 || [Latest Primavera P6]

In this tutorial, let us learn How to update progress In Primavera P6

So, let us open a sample project and set the layout to show like this with 4 compulsory columns Start, Finish, Baseline Start and Baseline Finish.

There are 2 ways to update any project schedule. One is updating manually and other automatically using the update progress built in option, which is present in the tools tab.

Remember friends, you need to use this update progress feature only when you project is going exactly as per the baseline plan. If not, you should be using the manual method only.

Let us select this activity, chemical dosing plant whose start date is 4th Jun’20 and go to tools and click on update progress.

You will get the update progress dialog box like this, with different options to select.

It is asking whether all the highlighted activities to be updated or selected activities only.

You can change the data date here. Let me put 5th Jun’20.
Then it will automatically highlight all those activities falling before 5th Jun (which is nothing but the spotlight feature).

You can click on Apply button, so as to update automatically.

Now, let me select the 2nd option to update only the selected activity only.
Click Apply button and you can observe that the start date 4th June has been considered as Actual start date and the % progress of the activity has also been changed accordingly.

But, it is suggested that we should not be using this method when our schedule is not following the exact baseline plan.

So, the ideal method is to update manually, like for example the activity Equipment move in skids is supposed to be started on 26th June, suppose it has started on 15th Jun’20 and I update it manually like this, go to details, go to status tab and check the start checkbox and enter the date as 15th Jun’20, enter the %progress.

If I would have run the automatic way, the start date would have been the baseline date but not the earlier date.

Ok friends, in this way you need to update all the activities manually and then schedule the project to see the overall impact and can compare this with the baseline plan.

So friends, this is all about How to update progress in Primavera P6.

Let's suppose we don't remember the actual start date of the activity 'Equipment move in skids'. The activity was to finish by 8 July but didn't finish by the BL finish date. Today is 10 July and we know that the said activity is 70 % complete. Can we got to % Activity Complete column and directly write 70% and schedule then? Will it be right thing to do?

My question is - Suppose I have to update the schedule for the month of Nov 2020, and the last update was with the data date of Oct 2020, so is the procedure that I first actualize, what has been attained in Nov and then move the data date to Nov 2020. Is this the correct procedure? Can you please explain this.

[MUsman-viif]

My question is While updating the schedule we will take the Last week updated Schedule and Update this week. So, why we will not take approved baseline for updating?? Why we take the last week Schedukle??
