CALENDAR CHECK
CAUTION: This project uses an Imposed Finish Date of 10/13/2005 . This
setting will not allow for the addition of activities after
Substantial Completion (such as Punchlist) without messing-up
float calculations for the whole project. Recommend that you
constrain the Late Finish of the activity that describes
Substantial Completion instead of using this feature. You can
remove this Imposed Finished Date under Project Overview under
the heading of 'Project must finish by'.

NOTE: This project calculates durations in Days. This is the
standard setting, offering a balance between accuracy and
maintainability. The only way to change this unit of measurement
is to copy the schedule and define the new unit during the process.

on a weekly timescale and to determine when weekends occur for

50 bad Holidays and Exceptions to calendars exist.
NOTE: Holidays after Project Finish may be useful if the project is
extended. It is not incorrect to include them in any case.
NOTE: Dates were advanced or delayed to the nearest workday due to the
current setting in Global Calendars. To stop P3 from moving the
holiday, deselect the option box under Tools, Calendars, Global
Calendar, Standard.
AUTOCOST RULES CHECK
NOTE: You have not entered an Identifier to verify review of Autocost
Rules. This is not required, but is a good practice. Suggest that
you enter your initials or any 4 character name to indicate who
is responsible for the current settings. You can do this by
selecting Tools, Options, Autocost Rules, Identifier.
NOTE: You have not entered a date to verify your last review of Autocost
Rules. This is not required but is good practice. Suggest that you
enter the date of last review or update of the Autocost Rules. You
can do this by selecting Tools, Options, Autocaost Rules, Date.
Rule 1: Link remaining duration and schedule percent complete? Yes
NOTE: This is the standard setting and should be used unless using
nonlinear resource distributions.
Rule #2: Freeze resource units per time period? No
NOTE: This is a non-standard setting that adjusts workcrew size
in response to earned progress so as to meet planned finish.
In either case, this setting has no effect on your schedule
unless you are using resources.
Rule #3a: Calculation for estimate to complete? Subtract actual from EAC
NOTE: Use this method on fixed-price contracts, as it doesn't allow
you to exceed your budget.
Rule #3b: Allow 'negative estimate to complete'? No
CAUTION: With this setting, P3 will not allow a negative calculation
Instead, it will automatically set 'Estimate to Complete' = 0
and change your 'Estimate at Completion' = 'Actual to Date.'
Rule #4a: When Quantities change, recompute Budget Costs? No
NOTE: This is the standard setting. Use this when you do not
track costs or when the budget is known.
Rule #4b: When Quantities change, recompute Actual Costs? Yes
CAUTION: Only use this setting when tracking costs but Actual Costs
are not tabulated. It is dangerous to estimate actuals.
Rule #4c: When Quantities change, recompute Est. to Complete Costs? Yes
NOTE: This is the standard setting. Estimates to complete should
be related to quantities remaining.
Rule #5a: Update % complete against budget to recompute Budget? Yes
CAUTION: Only use this setting when tracking costs but the budget
isn't fixed.
Rule #5b: Update % complete against budget to recompute Cost? Yes
CAUTION: Only use this setting when tracking costs but Actual Costs
are not tabulated. It is dangerous to estimate actuals.
Rule #6: Actual linked to date and actual this period? Yes
NOTE: Use this setting if you are tracking costs per update period.
Rule #7: Budget linked to EAC for non-progressed acts? Yes
CAUTION: This setting should only be used during the planning stages
of a project. Until set to off, P3 will not calculate variance.
Rule #8: Variance is calculated as: Budget minus Estimate At Completion.
NOTE: This is the default setting that displays variances as
negative values.
Recalculate and Store Cost during each schedule computation? No
NOTE: This is the correct setting if your project does not calculate
costs or if it does not use non-linear resource distributions or
costs associated with Hammocks or Expected Finish Constraints.
Apply the above rules by Cell or Resource? Cell
NOTE: This is the default setting. It will register your entries as
you move your cursor from field to field.
CPM RULES CHECK
Scheduling Method is set to Retained Logic.
NOTE: This is the normal method for predicting status with out-of
sequence progress.
Schedule Method is also set to Contiguous Activities.
CAUTION: This is the standard setting but will produce different
results for activity chains identified in later Interruptible
Activities Report. Use this setting for projects that wait
until all resources may be employed without a break.
Total Float Calculation uses Start Dates to calculate Total Float.
NOTE: This will result in the same answer except for interruptible
activities and Hammock activities. Interruptible activities
work better using Finish Dates and Hammock activities work
better using the Start Dates setting.
================================ ACTIVITIES ================================
------------------------- ACTIVITY STANDARDS CHECK -------------------------
There are a greater number of activities than allowed by the standard.
The maximum duration of some activities is greater than allowed by standards
Tasks (not milestones) with zero duration are used in violation of standards
Start Milestone Activities are used in violation of standards.
Standard Start Flag Activities are not used on this project.
Standard Finish Flag Activities are not used on this project.
Hammock Activities are used in violation of standards.
Activity Descriptions are not left-justified, in violation of standards.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a total of 5023 activities in this schedule.
Listed by category type, the totals are;
Fixed Duration CPM Activity:
Tasks = 4981
Resource-driven Duration CPM Activities:
Independent = 0
Meeting = 0
Zero Duration Mileposts:
Start Milestones = 25
Finish Milestones = 10
Start Flags = 0
Finish Flags = 0
Summary (Non-CPM) Duration Activities:
Hammocks = 7
WBS = 0
CAUTION: Many contracts specify the maximum or minimum number of
activities allowed in the schedule. For this purpose, the first
two categories above are usually totaled = 4981 activities.
Many specifications limit the percentage of activities that can be
critical or near-critical in the Baseline Schedule. A typical upper
limit is a maximum of 30% critical and 50% critical or near-critical.
Critical Activities = 3.98%
Critical and Near-
Critical Activities = 4.76% (based upon Total Float less than 11 .)
Of the 4981 CPM-type activities in the schedule,
Average duration of these activities was 11.31 Days.
Mean of the durations was 449.00 Days.
Standard Deviation of the difference was 22.31 Days.

4981 of Tasks and Resource Activities (Non-Milestone) are represented above.
2322 activities are 1 to 1 Days long.
The shortest duration is 0 Days.
The longest duration is 898 Days.
NOTE: Many contracts specify the minimum or maximum allowable durations
of activities included in the schedule. It is best to not consider
milestones or summary activities when qualifying durations. The
analysis above only considers Task, Independent, and Meeting type
activities and excludes all others.

7285 activities are planned to be active during the above months.
NOTE: You should confirm that the schedule is roughly equally detailed
from the start to the finish of the project. The above curve should
be somewhat flat and balanced on both ends. A lower second half
might indicate an under-developed finish plan.
A schedule with an underdeveloped ending indicates that the Contractor
has not fully taken into account all issues and is thus less accurate.
It won't do you any good to be on schedule just to find out that the
finish did not provide enought time to complete.

NOTE: Look through the above list for under-represented codes. This
might indicate missing activities or a lack of proper detail.
Nearly identical descriptions might be in error and will lead to
confusion. Missing codes may indicate missing work.
WBS Code Check:
No Work Breakdown (WBS) Assignments exist.
NOTE: Use of WBS assignments is becoming increasingly more prevalent,
especially in large, enterprise scheduling situations. It has the
built-in ability to summarize groups of activities without adding
additional logical relationships, such as required by hammocks.

11 SUBMITTAL activities have no REVIEW activity successors.
CAUTION: Every submittal activity should normally be immediately follow-
ed by a review activity. This ensures that sufficient time is al-
lotted between the submittal and the need for the submitted items.

More than 11 multiple, independent near-critical activities found.
NOTE: Project Critical Float is 0 and any activity with a float
value within 10 of this was considered as near-critical.
As this is a Baseline Schedule, A Project Critical Float of 0 was used.
CAUTION: CPM networks should not have multiple critical paths without
through justification. Some Contractors adjust durations, logic,
and lead times so as to artificially create multiple paths. This
increases the number of critical activities which increases the
potential that any Owner-caused delay will look like a delay to the
project. Detail analysis of the above activities is recommended.
0 out of a possible of 0 relationship chains are interruptible.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
85 odd lags are listed above.
NOTE: Lags and Leads are time intervals imposed between two activities.
They are legitimately used to describe linked activities which are
staggered or to represent a time interval, say for curing concrete.
They can be also used to 'hide' float or otherwise artificially
expand a project schedule without being visible on plots or in most
reports. Negative lags can hide an unworkable project schedule by
shortening it without changing activity durations.
CAUTION: It is highly unusual for Start-to-Start (SS) or Finish-to-
Finish (FF) relationships to have negative lags. Recommend further
investigation into the reasoning behind such timing.
CAUTION: It is highly unusual for Finish-to-Start (FS) relationships to
have positive lags. Recommend that you have the creator of the
schedule document what that lead represents.
You must consider the calendar when using lags. Lags use the
calendar of the proceeding act. In the case of concrete curing (a
7-day/week event,) the lag would use the calendar of the concrete
pour, which is probably a 5-day/week event. Just expanding the
length by 7/5 does not fully consider where in the week it falls.
Lags make for poor long-lead times. You cannot status a lag or
periodically review its progress. For lags of long duration (such
as the delivery of a major piece of equipment,) it would be better
to create an activity that would show-up on reports and would need
to be statused every update.
CAUTION: While lags and leads have legitimate uses, any such time inter-
val over 5 should be individually investigated.

19 constraints were found in the project.
CAUTION: Baseline Schedules should only contain constraints that are
specifically called out in the plans and specifications. Otherwise,
this can be thought of as the Contractor is "reserving float" (which
is typically not allowed.)
NOTE: If the Contractor resists removing non-contractual constraints,
from the Baseline Schedule, the prudent Scheduler will note each
such constraint in the review of the baseline and state that the
Owner reserves the right to temporarily delete any such constraint
when evaluating the effects of delays.
