Resource Curves:
What is Resource Curves?
Resource Curves are functionality which helps to spread unit/Cost tied up to an activity across activity’s specific time-period.
What are the Resource Curve Types?
Primavera Client by default provides set of Curve Types like
- Linear
- Back-Loaded
- Triangular
- Trapezoidal
- Triangular Increase/Decrease Curves
- Double Peak, etc…
And few more curves as default type where users can choose any type and see how the unit/cost is spread along.
Based on the curve definitions, here is a sample query by a client as follows:
Issue:
“I have used almost all types of curve definitions and found most of them sounds really useful. But few curves cannot be used at real time monitoring like “Double Peak” because of its Curve distribution. Now i want to know if there is some method which will allow me to create my own curve and manage my distribution something like this- When 50% work is done 50% amount will be released/Spend and remaining upon completion(an imaginary case). Is this possible in primavera?
For the above query, the answer is yes it is possible in primavera for user to create his own curves and manage his own distribution values across.
Solution:
Navigate to Enterprise ->Resource Curves:
After Creating the curves Click Modify to adjust distribution params. For the client issue, we need to have a curve something like this.
Where 50% is distributed during half way work and remaining units/cost at end of activity.
