Delay analysis

1. Practical outcomeThe learner should be able to preserve relevant records, define a forensic question, establish a reliable chronology, test cause and effect across schedule and cost, distinguish facts from assumptions and produce reproducible findings. They should understand how project-controls…

1. Practical outcomeThe learner should be able to establish a valid comparison, calculate period and cumulative variance, analyse a time series, distinguish delivery deterioration from timing or data effects, find causes across discipline boundaries and test whether an intervention improves the…

1. Practical outcomeThe learner should be able to take identified risks and assess them systematically so that management attention focuses on what matters. They should be able to assess probability and impact, apply a scoring framework, use a matrix appropriately, consider other relevant factors,…

1. Practical outcomeThe learner should be able to construct and analyse a logically linked schedule, choose relationships, recognise missing or inappropriate logic, distinguish logic from constraints, identify critical and near-critical paths, understand total and free float, recognise negative or…

DELAY AND DISRUPTION PROTOCOL INTRODUCTION

A method of [[Delay Analysis]] that analyses the project in discrete 'windows' of time. The Status of the project and forecast Programme Completion Date is examined at the beginning of the time window and at the end of the time window. Any Variance (generally a [[Delay]]) is due to the events on the

A method of [[Delay Analysis]] that analyses the effect of each [[Event]] incrementally and takes account of the status of the project or programme at the time the delaying event occurred, the changing nature of the [[Critical Path]] and the effects of action taken, or that should have reasonably be
