Look-ahead: 30, 60 and 90-day windows from P6

The weekly meeting should start with the work that is about to start, finish or slip. This page filters the P6 schedule to a 30, 60 or 90-day window and flags every activity by status.

The problem

A full P6 schedule has hundreds of activities. Site teams need a short, clear list of what is coming up and what is already at risk, and building that list by hand from P6 layouts every week takes time.

How it works

  1. Pick the window. 30, 60 or 90 days from the data date.
  2. See what is starting and finishing. Counts of activities starting and finishing in the window, plus critical and at-risk counts.
  3. Act on the flags. Each activity is marked critical, at risk, upcoming or on track, with its float and dates.
