Schedule Integrity Analyzer
Overview
How Reliable Are Your Microsoft Project®
Schedules?
Creating and maintaining effective project schedules is no easy
task. Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling tools, like Microsoft
Project®, provide the sophistication and
flexibility to build schedules which best satisfy your project
management environment. However, with this sophistication comes
increased risk that some minor detail might be overlooked which
eventually causes significant impact to your company’s projects.
Proactively Identify
Schedule Quality Issues
Why wait for a significant failure to identify some schedule quality
issue that may impact your projects? The Schedule Integrity Analyzer
(SIA) for Microsoft Project will quickly scan a project schedule and
identify issues like:
- Consistency with general accepted
cross-industry schedule management practices
- Microsoft Project
idiosyncrasies to avoid
- Structural integrity issues
- Inappropriate use of resources
- Baseline integrity problems
- Performance control maintenance issues
The SIA is a companion
application for Microsoft Project® (2002, 2003, 2007, and 2010
Standard or Professional). It
uses a variable-weighted, threshold-based scoring engine to
summarize the results of thirty-two schedule quality tests into
Overall Integrity Rating.
