Exercise 1 — Manage Changes Between Estimate and Primavera

As changes occur during the estimating process, you can keep the estimate and schedule in sync through schedule integration. In this exercise, you will practice making changes between the estimate and schedule. Complete the following steps:

  1. Open the Training Job and open the CBS Register.

  2. Check the box in the Schedule Plug Days column for the Install RCP Pipe.

  3. Change the Plug Days for Install RCP Pipe to 8 days.

  4. Update Primavera from InEight Estimate.

  5. Open the Training Job project in Primavera and confirm the Planned Duration (you may need to change your view to see this column) changed to 8 days.

  6. In Primavera, change the Planned Duration for Backfill RCP Pipe to 12 days.

  7. Schedule the changes in Primavera (Schedule button or F9).

  8. Update InEight Estimate from Primavera.

You should end up with the following results

Cost item 6.3 Install RCP Pipe is now showing 8 Plug days in Primavera.

  Cost item 6.4 Backfill RCP Pipe should have 12 plug days in InEight Estimate.

Congratulations, you have completed this exercise!
