Why Half-Step Progressing is so Important!

Progressing a schedule using the Half-Step Method can be a really useful tool to analyzing where delays are coming from on a schedule. This can make delays and who's at fault very clear to both owner and contractor. Also known as Bifurcation. What does this look like? How is it done? Michael shows you.

Can’t agree more with this method! Absolutely correct.

[@MrBilljackd]

Great video! Great explanation!

[@PlanAcademy]

Thanks!

Can you put one video step by step in P6? Thanks

Question is, why does it matter? Before a judge, how does it help your claim (or protects you)? What do you do with the mitigation vs. progress, and the net change? Are you saying the net change is all an owner can charge you in a delay claim?

Bla bla bla

[@akporta]

@@galvanizedgnome what's the issue here?

[@andrewnyc]

Few ways. You can use this technique to analyze the impacts of alleged delay events.
It can be a requirement that an owner reviews and approves a schedule update for a contractor to get paid. So it’s helpful for an owner to understand if the contractor’s schedule is actually realistic.
A contractor may also try to claim too much time extension from an owner’s change request or force majure delay.
Nowhere near an exhaustive list of examples but hopefully this helps.

I follow you since many years ago. And all your videos are very helpful for me. Are you think to do those videos but in Spanish? That is for all Primavera P6 speakers Spanish users.. that help too much and increase your followers as well..

[@PlanAcademy]

no hablo español - but I'll what we can do to convert some of these videos to spanish.

I would assume after step 2, the changes are made and this then becomes the live schedule. Are you saving a baseline named .2?

[@PlanAcademy]

good question. Yes, the 2nd update project becomes the schedule going forward (of course, once approved).
I don't typically make a baseline every update but if you do, then yes, name it .2 .
