Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Dear all, it has long been on my to do list to learn about Forensic schedule Claims / Delays Analysis. So, I have the following questions: 1) Is there  any broadly accepted and well documentd methodology on the  Forensic schedule Claims / Delays Analysis ? (e.g. one can say that for project scheduling PMBOK) provides such methodology  2) Is there any broadly accepted certification on the  Forensic schedule Claims / Delays Analysis ? (equivalent of PMI SP for scheduling)

Hi Evgeny,

While accepted practices for project planning and scheduling appear somewhat universal, those for forensic schedule analysis seem to vary according to legal jurisdiction.  Thus, an analysis methodology that is considered garbage science in one country may perfectly acceptable in another.  AACE International’s Recommended Practice 29R-03, Forensic Schedule Analysis (2011), tries to describe them all, and it has many critics as a result.  ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) has published a distinctly American national standard 67-17, Schedule Delay Analysis.  This standard is not a methodology; rather, it defines a set of 35 guidelines that any chosen methodology should follow.  Both of these seem useful introductions to anyone contemplating forensic work.

AACE International sponsors two related certifications:

  • Planning and Scheduling Professional (PSP): like the PMI-SP certification, but better respected in construction.
  • Certified Forensic Claims Consultant (CFCC) – an expertise certification limited to those with at least 12 years professional practice in claims and dispute resolution in common-law countries.

Also, the Guild of Project Controls has established a complete certification track for Forensic Analysis, from Apprentice through Fellow. 

Good luck, tom
