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.

Needing a reference or guidance. A L2 schedule should be a roll up from a L3 schedule. Sometimes however a L2 schedule may be an early deliverable long before a L3 is developed fully due to lack of design and/or subcontractor information. Maybe L2 is an incorrect term in this case.

We made the deliverable of the L2 schedule and the client ran DCMA14 on this schedule and of course it does not pass those criteria.

I'm looking for some reference where DCMS applies only to a certain level of schedule. Any input appreciated.

Hi Brian,

The DCMA is a guide for the development of all schedules - in the full text there are carve-outs for long duration activities, etc. Section 4 of DCMA-EA PAM 200.1 define the last published version of the DCMA 14 Point Schedule Metrics, which were developed to identify potential problem areas within a schedule. Download from: https://mosaicprojects.com.au/PMKI-SCH-020.php#Process1

There are no 'standard definintions' for schedule levels, the best guide developed from multiple authorities is at: https://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/PDF/Schedule_Levels.pdf
