No specialist software is necessary as MS Excel will suffice in most cases. We use curves to compare planned production against actual production to demonstrate the variance. Then one needs to explain that variance, that is where the research is required.

If you are interested in learning about Delay Claims, you can’t do better that “PPG #1: Contracts and Claims, Second Edition (CD) , James G. Zack, Jr., Editor, AACE International, 2000.” It is a compendium of important papers written on the subject organized into one CD. You can find it on the web at https://www.aacei.org/bookstore/cgi-bin/shop.cgi?CustomerID=697170951an…. The CD is just recently updated and contains 1380 pages. It costs $38.50 for AACE members and $53.50 if you are not.
I just received my copy today and am very impressed. It has 19 chapters, an Author Index, and a Chronological Index. If this doesn’t scare you away from doing professional claims work, then maybe this demanding vocation is for you.

You have asked a very deep question. There are two different categories to consider, “Schedule Analysis” and “Delay Analysis.” Without understanding if a schedule is constructed correctly and what caused the changes, then Delay Analysis will be based on inaccuracies.
As far as software to support Schedule Analysis goes, the following are the only commercially available options:
As far as “Delay Analysis” goes, only Schedule Analyzer offers modules designed for supporting this.
None of these software packages were intended to teach Delay Analysis. For that you need to study delay analysis techniques and construction and contract law. For a good start, I suggest that you visit the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) at www.aacei.org. That’s where the Claims Analysts ‘hang out.’

Chockalingam,
You have asked a very deep question. There are two different categories to consider, “Schedule Analysis” and “Delay Analysis.” Without understanding if a schedule is constructed correctly and what caused the changes, then Delay Analysis will be based on inaccuracies.
As far as software to support Schedule Analysis goes, the following are the only commercially available options:
Schedule Analyzer Pro (my software) at www.RonWinterConsulting.com
Digger at www.hstsoftware.com
Project Investigator at www.primaplan.com
They all work on P3 schedules.
As far as “Delay Analysis” goes, only Schedule Analyzer offers modules designed for supporting this.

Good luck!
