What is Schedule Comparison? Schedule Comparison is the method to compare and find the differences between two project schedules of the same project. In this process, the added/deleted activities, changes in relationships, changes in calendars, changes in Total/Free float, added/deleted resource assignments, etc. are compared between two project schedules. Primavera P6 Visualizer Primavera P6 Visualizer is a tool used to create insightful visualizations such as timelines, scheduling information, and schedule comparisons.  In this article, we will explore how to compare the baseline project schedule and revised project schedule for a project using Primavera P6 Visualizer. Comparison of Baseline Schedule [...]
