• Frequently Asked Questions
General
• How can I get the most out of PSOP?
• Why do I have to close P3e before I run PSOP?
• Why do I have to make sure nobody else has the project open?
Issues with the original schedule/project
• PSOP says my original schedule is in an inconsistent state. What does that mean?
• Why does PSOP say my finish date is impossible?
• PSOP says it may be impossible to achieve the same duration/overload as my original schedule. Why?
• How come the PSOP schedule is longer than my original schedule?
• How does PSOP handle relationships to activities in other projects?
• Why aren't my "As Late as Possible" activities placed later in the schedule?
Interpreting PSOP results
• Why are the PSOP usage plots different from the P3e plots?
• Why does PSOP show more overload that P3e on the same schedule?
• Why aren't availabilities shown in cumulative plots?
• Why don't the results show all the work on my project?
• Why are there solid black bars in the resource usage plot?
Troubleshooting
• How come P3e isn't responding to PSOP's scheduling request?
• Why did my P3e schedule change?
• Why does PSOP say I'm out of logins?
• Why does PSOP say my project changed during leveling?
• Why can't PSOP connect to the Primavera database?
• Why do my Level of Effort activities have a longer duration than necessary?
