Progress Tracking

A tool comparing progress by both weighted


duration and actualized activities, as well as
sorting by WBS or other activity hierarchy,
which includes any WBS and Activity Code:

→ S-curve.

→ List of activities and indication if dates have


changed compared to the baseline.
→ Activities per day.

→ Performance indexing (SPI).

→ How many weeks behind/ahead of


schedule the project is performing.

Critical Path Analysis

With their Paths and Activities


function you can:

→ Find the top 5 critical paths to any activity.

→ Perform ‘what if’ QSRA to see how much time


you can save by making sure a path is delivered
on time.

→ Find the critical path from any activity to the


end of the project.

PROPERTY NODES & LINKS


NODES & LINKS

Schedule Comparison

A tool that allows you to quickly


compare two schedules and
gain insights into:

→ Schedule changes.

→ Activity changes (relationships,


durations, starts, finishes, added/deleted
activities, and more).

→ Critical path changes.

→ And other KPIs.

PROPERTY NODES & LINKS


NODES & LINKS

Schedule Health

Perform schedule quality and


schedule integrity checks:
→ Traditional 14 point DCMA that look at
negative float, lags, leads, relationships,
invalid dates, missing logic, missed tasks,
constraints, and resources.

→ 18 additional checks like isolated networks.

→ Customisable thresholds.

→ Force layout to visualise the schedule


in an innovative way.
