Definition

Indicates the provisional duration of network activities and WBS

elements.

The provisional duration informs most exactly the expected duration.

The system differentiates the following cases for network

activities:

  • Activity is confirmed at the end -> provisional duration = actual
  • duration
  • Activity is partially confirmed
    • Forecast duration from the confirmation exists
      • -> provisional duration = forecast duration from the confirmation
    • Forecast end date from the confirmation exists
      • -> provisional duration = forecast end date minus actual start date
    • niether forecast duration nor forecast end date from the confirmation exists:
      • if forecast duration does not equal 0 -> provisional duration =
      forecast duration from the forecast circle
      if forecast duration equals 0 -> provisional duration = duration
  • Activity has not yet been confirmed:
    • if forecast duration does not equal 0
      • -> provisional duration = forecast duration from the forcast circle
    • if forecast duration equals 0
      • -> provisional duration = duration

The following cases are differentiated for WBS elements:

  • WBS actual end date is set

    -> provisional duration = actual duration

  • Forecast duration is given

    -> provisional duration = forecast duration

  • all other cases

    -> provisional duration = duration
