JulieS,

I see what you are saying. The unintended consequence is actually the realization that the %-completion is totally meaningless as a measure of a projects progress for us, which is good I suppose.

Guloluseus,
I have thought about that as well, and it is probably the only way to the problem. What we find (especially when we are doing township roads) is that half a road can't be constructed because of buildings or utilities in the way and these constraints cannot be applied to the middle of a task. The knock-on effect is that subsequent tasks (e.g. asphalt after base course) will also have to be split.



I also add the production rates to the program.


That our production rates are essentially S-curves makes it more complicated.

I suppose what I am trying to achieve is using MS Project as a reporting tool rather than a Planning tool, and I'm not sure it's suitable for that.
