I have spent a lot of time in the last 15 years trying to formalize structure and thoroughness in the schedule analysis process. I presented a paper at the 2002 Primavera Conference on this subject. You can reference this at http://www.ronwinterconsulting.com/rabaseline.htm. Schedule Analyzer software implements all of these ideas. It is described at http://www.ronwinterconsulting.com/sa_main.htm. I hope that this helps. Good luck!

The best guide to determining the integrity of a schedule is your own practical experience. If you know how long things generally take and how much it generally costs then that will give you a reasonable idea as to whether the schedule is realistic, programmed well and being executed in an orderly manner.

A good place to start is the P3 Schedule Report.



Click the schedule button on the toolbar, and select "constraints" "open ends" and "out of sequence"



Few constraints, no open ends, not much out of sequence progress usually indicates a good schedule.



You can then start looking at resource assignments.





Cheers,

Brennan

Thanks for the answer, I appreciate that. But is there a way of analysing a schedule or any other tools in P3 and finding out whether the integrity of the schedule is ensured or not by the contractor.



thank you

By interrogation! Asking the right questions and working out where they worked out their estimates. The contractor may answer - we guessed (made an approximation etc)! What are you going to do then? They may have guessed right though! So basically you have to make your checks by questioning other people.



I hope that helps.
