by Ron Winter Consulting LLC

Schedule Analyzer™ is a suite of programs to assist the Scheduler and Claims Analyst in performing difficult or impossible scheduling tasks. Schedule Analyzer Professional (SA Pro) works on P3 schedules and Schedule Analyzer for the Enterprise (SAe) works on Primavera P5 and P6 schedules.

PLEASE NOTE: There are two types of Scehdule Analzyer, one that works with P3 and the other that works with P5, P6, and Contractor. Although the features are the same, you must order the correct type of Schedule Analyzer to match your scheduling software.

The following modules are all included as a single package,

Baseline Checker will query your Baseline Primavera schedule and look for errors, inconsistencies, and problem areas. It will investigate 'hidden' rule settings and explain the ramifications of each. Baseline Checker will look for improper or suspicious activity and relationship coding and report each in easy-to-read reports. New is Active Reports that lets you jump from your report directly to the activity in your schedule.

Update Checker will query two schedules and analyze their similarities and differences. Update Checker tells you the story of what happened to the schedule during the update period in easy to read reports. Exclusive, 'high-level' reports are also produced which can give a quick and insightful overview to the schedule's progress. Claim Digger doesn't have Active Reports or any of the other of our "Smart Report" features.

Dashboard quickly analyzes your Baseline Checker or Update Checker report and presents a management-level overview. Review all errors, warnings, or cautions per report section. Review a quality appraisal of each report. Quickly jump to the dangerous issues and then jump directly to that activity in the schedule. If you drilled any deeper that this, you would be coming out the other side! See a short video on SA Dashboard.

Primavera software is good for scheduling but not necessarily for analysis. In theory, Claim Digger should be a good auditor for changes that still doesn’t solve the problem of analyzing your schedule. Schedule Analyzer is a full analysis solution for professional Schedulers who need to understand what is behind the schedule and anticipate upcoming problems.

Schedule Analyzer does more than just look at differences. It analyzes Baseline Schedules as well as Schedule Updates. It breaks problems into issue reports and gives you advice about what that issue may mean to you. It performs high-level analyses and looks for rarely seen problems every time. Well over a 100 different checks are made, many that you have never though of before. The issue reports may be viewed on the screen and easily ‘dragged’ to your own report.

Once the analysis is generated, use the Dashboard to encapsulate and qualify the entire schedule on just one screen. Drill-down into the section and directly to the problem report.

An exclusive feature called ‘Active Reports’ allows you to click on any line in your report and Scheduler Analyzer will automatically launch Primavera and take you directly to the activity in question. Repeat the process; click on an interesting report item and instantly see it in the original schedule. Now you will have the knowledge, means, and time to follow-up on every item of interest in your schedule.

Another exclusive feature of Schedule Analyzer called Longest Path Value™ allows you to compute a numerical value for the Longest Path for every activity in your schedule and insert this number as a custom data item. Then you can sort by Longest Path and see the second, third, etc. Longest Paths. Clean-up confusing out-of-sequence progress and really understand what is behind the driving path in your schedule with Longest Path Value.

Logic League™ is your extended relationship database that allows you to sort, analyze, manage, and manipulate your relationships in ways that you never dreamed possible.

Built-in videos, a manual, and help-files guide you along the analysis process every step of the way. Schedule Analyzer is simple to use but full of depth and understanding about what is going on in your schedule.
