BPC Logic Filter for Microsoft Project –Abstract and Introduction
• Complex sequencing logic can be difficult to extract and display in Microsoft Project, especially when deadlines or variable calendars complicate Project’s Slack (Float) calculations. So we wrote our own Add-In to make Project sing like a rock star. BPC Logic Filter is a lightweight tool that shows only logically-connected tasks and includes advanced features to focus on Driving Relationships, Project Longest Path, Multiple Float Paths, Driving Path Drag, and other key parameters.
• Presented by Thomas Boyle, PE, PMP, PSP, principal consultant of a firm which he founded in 2004 after 19 years in engineering and construction management. Based in Charlotte, NC, USA, he provides outcome-driven consulting and management-support services to clients worldwide.

BPC Logic Filter for Microsoft Project
- Background / Motivation• History
• MSP (DOS version) – 1984• MSP (Windows version) – 1990• Then
• Focus on IT/Software Development• Multiple Smaller Projects – Competing for manpower• Low cost – limited functionality• Not taken seriously in other sectors
• Now (MSP 2013)• General-Purpose Project focus• All project sizes, client/server, master/sub-projects• Appears generally compliant with requirements for PDM/CPM• Improved functionality• Extremely large user base• Widely used in government and business, growing use in Construction.• Logic Output remains difficult (manual, click-intensive)

• History (to MSP2010)• MSP Logic Input/Output
• Input = Multiple Options• Output = ??
• Task Inspector• Local Driving Predecessor• Unreliable for non-FS drivers
• Free Slack• Distance from nearest local successor • No ID of driven successors
• Total Slack• Basis of “Critical” Flag• CPM Forward/Backward Pass + mods. (Sparse docs.)• Loses significance w/ variable calendars and mult. Deadlines

BPC Logic Filter for Microsoft Project
- Background / Motivation
• NeedsFor Complex Industrial / Construction Projects:• Communication of the schedule plan:
• Sequential logical relationships• Cascading consequences of delay/acceleration• Key milestones – ID and tracking
• Perform What-If Analyses• Evaluate Schedule Disruptions• Total Slack is not enough

BPC Logic Filter for Microsoft Project
- Background / MotivationNeeds – Why Total Slack is not enough• Simplest Case (1980):
• TS ~ “The amount of (working) time a task may slip without delaying the project.”• TS = Late Finish – Early Finish; TS = Late Start – Early Start• TS=0 Critical Path; TS=1 Near-Critical Path; etc.
• Complex Project (2015)• Working Time – i.e. Calendar – variations TS changes along a single logical path.
i.e. Critical Path ≠ (TS=0)• NLT Constraints and Deadlines affect Late dates ~ sometimes TS<0.
i.e. Critical Path ≠ (TS=0)• (Multiple) NLT Constraints and Deadlines TS~ “The amount of time a task may
slip without delaying ????? (a constrained task somewhere, or the project finish.)”i.e. Critical Path = ????
• All Projects• TS ~ Task A “project finish”.• TS says nothing re. Task A Task B

BPC Logic Filter for Microsoft Project
- Background / Motivation• NeedsFor a given task:• Which tasks are its predecessors? (The whole
chain, not just the immediate dependencies.)• Which tasks are its successors?• Which predecessors are driving – i.e. effectively
limiting the early start of – the task? • Which successor tasks are being driven by the
task?• If a predecessor is NOT driving, how much may it
slip before it becomes driving.• If a successor is NOT being driven, how much
may the given task slip before it has an impact on the successor?

BPC Logic Filter for Microsoft Project
- Background / Motivation• NeedsFor the Project as a whole:• What is the real “Critical Path” and how
is this related to Project’s “Critical” task flag? (Is it related at all?)
• What is the Longest Path – i.e. that group of logically connected activities that drive the overall project completion date?
• What is the Critical/Longest Path for a project whose key milestone(s) don’t coincide with the end of the project schedule?
• Identify and differentiate parallel critical paths and near critical paths?

• Feature Development 2013-2015 (VBA)9. Driving Path Drag
• DRAG = Devaux’s Removed Activity Gauge• Total Project Acceleration to be achieved by removing a particular
schedule component:• ~Task Remaining Duration (e.g. resource limitations)• ~Early Constraints• ~Predecessor Lags• ~Leveling Delays, Suspend/Resume of In-progress tasks
• In Logic Analysis, • Only the Driving Path (e.g. Critical Path) has Drag.• Drag <= Task Remaining Duration• Drag is limited by parallel paths• i.e. Drag <= Path Relative Float of Parallel paths

BPC Logic Filter for Microsoft Project
- User Interface• Data Output and Retention
• Retention• Data:
• Program identifies and uses up to eight custom fields for generating the required filters and views.
• Fields unavailable run is aborted.• Default: After generating the filter/group/view, program clears and releases all
the underlying data fields• Filter/group/view can only be regenerated by BPC Logic Filter.• Saving and re-opening the file immediately after running BPC Logic Filter
may cause a null-filter – i.e. all tasks are hidden. Need to Clear Filters.• User may manually tag/flag any/all tasks included in the filter and
manually re-create the view• “Mark the filtered tasks” selected (registered Std Edition required):
task.marked field is used to save underlying basis of filter. Other parts of the view are not saved.
• “Permanently save the data…” selected (registered Pro Edition required): Eight fields needed to prepare all views are permanently retained in the file. Same fields are re-used for every run – so any user edits will be overwritten.

- Limitations/ Calculation Notes
• Dates• Summary Tasks• Inactive Tasks• Manually-Scheduled Tasks• Resource Leveling
![Page 149: Intro to BPC Logic Filter for Microsoft Project · BPC Logic Filter is a lightweight tool that shows only logically-connected tasks and includes advanced features to focus on Driving](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013002/5e6c482cf95cab5452201499/html5/thumbnails/149.jpg)
BPC Logic Filter for Microsoft Project
- Limitations/ Calculation Notes
• Dates• BPC Logic Filter does not change the dates.
• Running BPC Logic Filter after editing and before re-calculating the schedule will yield incorrect results.
• Program mimics parts of forward and backward pass to compute path relative float, consistent w/ MSP behavior for task calendars, leads, lags.
• Exception: use of task calendars for path relative float vs. total slack.
![Page 150: Intro to BPC Logic Filter for Microsoft Project · BPC Logic Filter is a lightweight tool that shows only logically-connected tasks and includes advanced features to focus on Driving](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013002/5e6c482cf95cab5452201499/html5/thumbnails/150.jpg)
BPC Logic Filter for Microsoft Project
- Limitations/ Calculation Notes
• Summary Tasks• Program accounts for sequential logic through summary
tasks.• Program ignores all parent/child inheritance logic.
Schedules with the following characteristics may yield incorrect results:
• Constraints on summary tasks• Manually Scheduled summary tasks• Actual-start entries on summary tasks• Predecessors or successors on summary tasks.
• Exception: if all generations of subtasks (including sub-summaries) below the summary have no logic at all, then results may be correct. This condition seems rare in practice.

BPC Logic Filter for Microsoft Project
- Limitations/ Calculation Notes
• Inactive Tasks• MSP 2010
• Program ignores all inactive tasks.• Consistent with MSP 2010 behavior – inactive tasks are
removed from logic.• MSP 2013
• Program ignores all inactive tasks.• NOT-consistent with MSP 2013 behavior – inactive tasks are
substituted with FS relationships (between all predecessors and all successors of the task) at run-time.
• Future program upgrade is planned to address this condition.

BPC Logic Filter for Microsoft Project
- Limitations/ Calculation Notes
• Manual-Scheduling• Program ignores “Task Mode”• Program assumes all tasks are automatically scheduled• Logical conflicts due to manually scheduled tasks are
ignored – presumed unreal.

BPC Logic Filter for Microsoft Project
- Limitations/ Calculation Notes
• Resource Leveling• Program allows resource leveling• Leveling delays are noted/logged and deducted from
relative float• Resource-constrained driving path is NOT tracked• Therefore all leveling should be cleared before running
BPC Logic Filter.
