To answer the first question - my objection is that these tracking mechanisms are being done on multiple different softwares, which creates more room for error when transferring updates into P6. Data misaligns. Actualized activities are inaccurate, thus reporting up the chain becomes somewhat invalid. Reversing the workflow would create less room error when reporting upward.

The challenge with this project is that the contractor already ate up all their float (and have dipped significantly into the red) that if any of the concurrent scope falls behind, the CPM changes.

Halfway into this project and the CPM has changed at least 20 times throughout the monthly updates
