Sharique,

I am not an expert using Primavera, but have worked side-by-side with expert users to fix these kinds of problems. It is an excellent tool for this.

Change the dates of the things that caused your schedule slide to your current best estimate and generate your critical path. That will cause a lot of errors. Fortunately it is an excellent program for debugging schedule errors.

Then you can evaluate the errors and the constraints violated. If a flow is too long, can it be compressed? If two tasks are ideally performed finish-to-start, can they be overlapping? Where are your opportunities?

Theory of Constraints proves itself over and over in practice that you want to look for the biggest constraint in your schedule and focus on that opportunity first.

Good luck!
Keith
