Firstly we have to know what is the meaning of recovery schedule? . We can simply say that the recovery schedule is a new baseline schedule to rectify any occurred delay to the project to meet contractual end whether by using crashing technique or fast track technique.

In our example I used budgeted valuesto the others two options it will not affect on the result as shown in previous snapshot. From - admin - admin preferences

In our example I used budgeted values with current dates (Default option) even you change it to the others two options it will not affect on the result as shown in previous snapshot.

(Default option) even you change it to the others two options it will not affect on the result as shown in previous snapshot.

What if you are usingbingeing in your baseline schedule beforeprevious global changes default to at completion values with current dates 1- EV = PV but not equal

2- The activities percent complete will be changed as well to values more than the actual activities % complete

Note: in this example, same data date is 68,876,923.16

Snapshot No.1

What if you are using percent complete type duration?. if you are using this type from bingeing in your baseline schedule before creating the recovery baseline, previous global changes then you changed the option of earned value calculation from default to at completion values with current dates you will find the following:

EV = PV but not equal 68,876,923.16 SAR

The activities percent complete will be changed as well to values more than the actual activities % complete at site. Please compare between snapshot No.1 and No.2.

in this example, we are using percent complete type duration the earned value at the 68,876,923.16 SAR

using this type from creating the recovery baseline, then you applied all

then you changed the option of earned value calculation from will find the following:

The activities percent complete will be changed as well to values more than the actual at site. Please compare between snapshot No.1 and No.2.

we are using percent complete type duration the earned value at the

With return to previous example (Physical), and the familiar equation of BL start) / (BL finish BL start)deferent formula. (Ghanem Equation

Let us see how I concluded this equation A%C = (DD BLST) / (BLF Also OD = ED + RD Where OD = Original duration of the activity. ED = Elapsed duration of in progress activity. RD = Remaining duration of in progress activity. Then A%C = (DD BLST) / (ED + RD) A%C = ED / (ED + RD) Where ED = DD BLST for in progress activity. A%C X ED + A%C X RA%C X RD = ED A%C X EDRD = (ED / A%C) EDRD = ED ((1 / A%C) While ED = DD Then DD BLST = RD / ((1 / A%C)

Then BLST = DD

BLST = DD (RD / ((1 / A%C) 1)))

Let us see how I concluded this equation

BLST) / (BLF-BLST) whereas BLF BLST = OD

Where OD = Original duration of the activity.

ED = Elapsed duration of in progress activity. RD = Remaining duration of in progress activity.

BLST) / (ED + RD) A%C = ED / (ED + RD)

BLST for in progress activity.

A%C X ED + A%C X RD = ED A%C X ED ED

RD = ED ((1 / A%C) 1)

BLST and ED = RD / ((1 / A%C) 1)

BLST = RD / ((1 / A%C) 1)

BLST = DD (RD / ((1 / A%C) 1)))

due to condition No.3 in page No. 2 is not

Activity % complete = (Data date 67,528,929.48 SAR but in

BLST = OD

Note: DD, A%C and RD are fixed to fulfill the requirement of a proper recovery baseline schedule. If you filtered the completed aproblem will arise (EV not equal PV). issue. Export an excel sheet contain the following to work out from Enterprise menu

DD, A%C and RD are fixed to fulfill the requirement of a proper recovery baseline

If you filtered the completed activities you will find EV = PV. while in progress activities, problem will arise (EV not equal PV). therefore we will use the previous formula to solve this

Export an excel sheet contain the following to work out the formula. Before exporting, create from Enterprise menu user defined fields tow new fields as shown.

With reference to third condition not available the new original duration vise is correct. So, this availability of this condition is very important to work out formula

result will be as the following:

Now EV = PV with variance 122,608
