I am dealing with complex project that seems to be growing arms and legs and as such there has been slippages and delays to the programme.
Can anyone give me advice on how best to analyse this? I would like to carry out some detailed analysis and to carry out some root cause analysis but not sure where to begin.
Thanks!
Thanks Mike,
I will have a go at this and let you know how I get on.

Hi Dominic
I would suggest that you start from the end and work backwoods.
Reschedule and then filter on the critical path.
Find which of the critical links come from a delay or slippage.
Now set up the Link Category System from the library - this will start with the standard links with the facility to add others.
To save time I would list another 10 with names like Crit Delay 01 to Crit Delay 10 - using lead zeroes.
Going back to your driving link right click to bring up Properies and select the drop down for the first link Crit Delay 01.
Then in Options > Reschedule disable the selected link.
When you reschedule your programe will be as if the link never existed.
Make a note of the differences.
Filter on critical and start again using Crit Delay 02
All the link categories can be re established in any order.
I use this method all the time for delay analysis and it is also good for What If scenarios.
Best regards
