How to Filter the Delayed Activities for a Milestone


Filtering the delayed activities in Primavera P6 is essential for effective project management
and staying on top of project progress.

There are two ways to Find out the Delayed Activities that delay the Milestone.
A. The first Way is to Filter the delayed Milestone as the Following

North Road Finish is a Milestone and has a “Must Finish by a date” which makes it have a
high Negative Total Float.
So, to get the Activities that cause the delay of the milestone:
The first filter is by using the milestone’s Activity ID and then applying it.

The Second Way is to make the Milestone Must Finish by Earlier date to increase
the Total Float
Project Finish Milestone has -30 days total float so it may have many activities with the
same total float.

So you need to increase the total float to ensure that the related activities only have the
same float. We will make the total float equal -50 days and it has a Constraints Finish on an
earlier date, so it is easier to filter the activities with the same total float to recognize them.

The Filter will be “Total float” is “Less than -49” to get you the activities with a total float of -
50.

It will show the driving delayed activities of the Milestone.

These activities are the activities that delayed the Milestone.

Filtering the delayed activities in project management offers


several significant benefits:
Focus on Critical Tasks: By filtering delayed activities, project managers can quickly
identify and prioritize critical tasks that are behind schedule. This allows them to
concentrate their efforts on resolving the most time-sensitive issues, ensuring that the
project stays on track.

Timely Action: Identifying delayed activities through filtering enables prompt action to
address the delays. Project Managers can allocate resources, adjust schedules, and
implement mitigation strategies in a timely manner, preventing further delays and potential
project disruptions.

Risk Management: Delayed activities often indicate areas of higher risk within the project.
By filtering and addressing these delays, project managers can proactively manage risks,
reducing the likelihood of future complications and improving overall project outcomes.

Improved Decision-making: When project managers can clearly see the delayed activities,
they can make informed decisions about how to proceed. They can weigh different options,
consider the impact on the project schedule, and select the most effective course of action
to minimize delays and maximize project success.

Efficient Project Control: With a clear view of delayed activities, project managers can
exercise better control over project timelines. They can implement corrective measures, set
achievable milestones, and continuously monitor progress, ensuring that the project stays
within its planned schedule.

In conclusion, filtering delayed activities is a fundamental practice in project management


that empowers project managers to take proactive measures, minimize risks, optimize
resources, and ensure successful project execution. It aids in maintaining control over the
project's progress and ultimately leads to more successful project outcomes.
