English term

add one

English to French Other Management Projet management/Schedule management/Scope Management
Je n'arrive pas à comprendre ce que "add one" veut dire dans cette phrase....

"Remember that the earliest start time on the network describes the end of that day so we recommend that you add one to the earliest start time to get the actual start date."

CONTEXTE :

Having established the critical path, we can draw a Gantt chart. This will use a calendar called the project calendar and this defines which days are available for work. For example, we may only work Monday to Friday but some projects may work six days a week and use a shift system.
Firstly, draw the chart with the time units across the top and the tasks down the left hand side.
Now plot the start and finish times of each task. Remember that the earliest start time on the network describes the end of that day so we recommend that you add one to the earliest start time to get the actual start date. The end date is correctly shown on the network

Ça vous donnerait quelque chose du genre: "Rappelez-vous que les dates de début au plus tôt du [cheminement] [diagramme] renvoient à la fin de [cette journée] [ce jour-là]; nous vous recommandons donc de devancer d'un jour cette date du début de sorte à indiquer la date effective du début au plus tôt."

@everyone Thank you so much for your contribution

It's about the Gannt charts and about plotting the start and the finish time of each task. Here it is an example of a Gannt chart:

You'll notice that in case of sequential tasks (not of the simultaneous ones), the starting time of a task is the next day after the end of the previous one.
I think that "add one" refers to this aspect.

A matter of zero To put it another way, your start day is effectively Day Zero, but since we don't count zeros, you have to make Day Zero Day One.
Tony M Jan 7, 2022:
@ Asker Yes, I see it now: you need to make the actual start date 1 day earlier, as the computer start date is actually at the END of the day stated — so in effect that day does not count in terms of the time available to do the job. So in fact the start date needs to be D-day – 1. It's a bit of a backwards way of looking at it: it really means, 'allow one day extra in your schedule, as the first day is effectively lost' — which if there is a deadline to meet, I suppose that means that the real day when work can start will be one day later than apparently is the case.
Tony M Jan 7, 2022:
@ Asker It means to allow one extra day in the schedule (or possibly the reverse: to count one day less in the time it will take) — I would say something like: 'augmenter d'un jour le délai...' etc.
It's not obvious to me if they mean 'you can afford to start later' or 'you must allow one day extra'.

disagree Germaine : C'est le contraire: un jour plus tôt puisque chaque point "describes the end of that day so... you add one [day] to the earliest: hâter/devancer d'un jour la première date. // La prémisse y est différente; cf. le tableau de gauche.

Je ne le vois pas comme ça. En regardant la diagramme Gannt dans le lien que j'ai marqué, les activités successives commencent l'une après la fin de l'autre mais jamais le même jour.
