KPlato/Vejledning: Engineering To Order-projekt/Gennemførelse

Gennemførelse og kontrol

Det er tid til at gå i gang med projektet. Efter nogen tid indsamler vi den nødvendige information i form af færdiggørelsesprocenter, arbejdstimer og udgifter.

Gantt-kort

Nu, da vi har basislinjen, har vi forberedt alle de data, der skal bruges i det næste trin, som er at kontrollere arbejdsprocessen. Før vi gør det, skal vi tjekke at alt er i orden. I Gantt-diagrammet kan få et overblik over projektet og er derfor i stand til visuelt at overskuer, om der er fejl.

Klik på Gantt i visningsvælgeren. Du skulle nu se noget i retning af dette

Du kan også indstille Gantt-diagrammet til at vise planlægningsfejl!

Hvis alt ser rigtigt ud, så fortsætter vi.

Diagram over projektpræstation

På nuværende tidspunkt viser projektpræstations-diagrammet basislinjen og tilstanden før start. Det skulle se sådan ud:

Her betyder BCWS "Budgeted Cost Work Scheduled", BCWP betyder "Budgeted Cost Work Performed", ACWP betyder "Actual Cost Work Performed". Alle disse betragtes både som indsats og som omkostning. PI betyder "Performance Index", CPI betyder "Cost Performance Index" og SPI betyder "Schedule Performance Index".

Note

CPI er lig med BCWP/ACWP. Hvis dette index er under 1, så er du over budgettet, da ACWP er større end BCWP. Hvis indexet er over 1, så er omkostningerne under budgettet

Note

SPI er lig BCWP/BCWS. Hvis dette index er under 1, så er du begefter planen; er det større end 1, så er du forud for planen.

Diagram over opgavepræstation

I Diagram over opgavepræstation kan vi gå i dybden med de enkelte opgaver eller grupper af opgaver ved brug af de samme indices som før.

Dette er meget nyttigt i langvarige og komplicerede projekter.

Task status

In the Task Status View, you can check the actual situation of the project. Can be used as a daily check!

Is it time to simulate some work now!

So, let's start to enter some value, right clicking on the activity in the Next period mec design and choose progress from the menu that appears. This will appear!

In this task progress window, we can choose to define the starting date of the task. Click on the Started button on the upper right corner of the window and choose the date.

Than we choose to add a completion percentage for the task, clicking on the add entry in the tab completion. Then click on the%Complete field and move the cursor that appears up to 20%. On the field at the right you can insert the effort used, in this case we will insert 32.

Warning

The edit mode must be set to 'Per task' (default is 'Calculate Effort').

The final window will be like this one:

Now we do the same for the second task that can be started, the "ele design". But for this task we choose the edit mode as per resource and compile the relative tab with 5 hours per day on Tue, Wed and Thu. The result will be like below:

Then we move briefly to the Task Execution View and choose the orders task and insert the progression using the calculate effort edit mode. Choosing the date we started and the % complete to 10%, the effort will be calculated automatically and the result should be like below:

then moving to the Task Status menu we'll find the following:

Task execution

In the task execution we can have a general view of the things going on.

Note

Note that BCWS are referred to Today!

This is a reasonable view to have a general check!

Gantt

The Gantt menu is a typical Gantt diagram where you can have a clear picture about the sequence and the duration of the project. With our example, it will be like this.

To have a better view of the Gantt diagram, it's possible to work on the zoom. This can be done by right-clicking on the upper part of the diagram where there are the months and days. This menù will appear:

With this menu it's possible to change the scale or the zoom in/out. Most useful could be the "zoom..." selection that can zoom in or out by a small menu. Try it!!

Milestone Gantt

Milestone Gantt is a part of the Gantt diagram with a filter only to the milestones. In this project we do not have any, so the window will be blank!

Resource assignment

The Resource Assignment view let's you check which resource is used in which day, how many hours and for what.

On the right window, between brackets are the hours of availability while just before the brackets the hours used for that resource.

Resource assignment gantt

The Resource Assignment Gantt is a Gantt diagram with the resource data. Can be useful to visualise the working period of the resources as well as quickly check about some availability to anticipate some tasks!

In this view we can see that the first resource is fully used for the first 3 days as in the main row related to the resource is written 1.0, this means 100%. then on the sub rows of the resource we can see the tasks and the time spent for each task.

Cost breakdown

The Cost Breakdown view represents the result of the accounting of the various tasks cost, generated according the cost assignment in the task and the cost breakdown structure that we decided at the beginning of the job.

On the left windows, in the total column, between brackets there's the total sum for the project according the task, while just before the brackets is the actual total expenses.

Reports

Reports are still in a early stage but you can choose to export as pdf some views, which can be good as the report!
