How to use it
- List the número of tasks of the project (según the desglose EDT or plan of project)
- Assign the duración mean estimated per task considerando the complejidad and recursos disponibles
- Estimate the percentage of paralelismo: tasks that can ejecutarse simultáneamente (30% is tÃpico in construcción)
- Calculate the dÃas laborabl is total considerando the solape of tasks paralelas
- Convert a weeks laborabl is (÷5 dÃas/week) and añade a 15% to contingenci is (climatologÃa, retrasos of supplies)
- Compare with the term contractual to Verify the viabilidad of the cronograma
Common mistakes
- ⚠️ Planning all the tasks in serie: the construcción allows many solap is (installations while secan soleras, etc.)
- ⚠️ Not adding margin of contingencies: retrasos per lluvia, missing of materials or averÃas of machinery are usual
- ⚠️ Forget the tiempos of curado of the hormigón (7-28 dÃas según elemento estructural) in the secuencia of tasks
- ⚠️ Not considering the periodos of vacaciones, festivos local is and dÃas of climatologÃa adversa según the zone
- ⚠️ Confusing dÃas laborabl is with dÃas naturales: the term of ejecución suele referirse a dÃas laborables
Worked example
Calculate project duration for 5 tasks with dependencies.
Results: {dias_total} dÃas laborables, {weeks} weeks, {semanas_con_imprevistos} weeks with 15 % of contingencies.
