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)

Tom,
thanks for your answer. I will look at the references you have provided.
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:
Also, the Guild of Project Controls has established a complete certification track for Forensic Analysis, from Apprentice through Fellow.
Good luck, tom
