A forensic timeframe analysis is performed to determine both types of issues.
Ideally, the amount of delay caused by each delaying activity is objective effort. However, normally the consultants on the other end of the conflict have different ideas and come to different conclusions when analyzing the delay and the amount of uncertainty caused by each activity. This difference may be due to the difference in the choice of forensic analysis delays in each case.
When presenting a medical-legal delay report, a consultant may suggest a different analysis methodology. However, some methods are more robust than others, and this understanding is essential when evaluating the analysis reports prepared by consultants and determining their errors.
Therefore, this article aims to disclose the following three delay analysis methods widely used by analyzers.
Let us discuss these methodologies in detail to get a better insight into their features.
In this analysis methodology, fragments are introduced into the schedule of a planned project to analyze any change in the completion date.
Fragnet is a network of activities that show a change in the pre-scheduled activity or any other impact not taken into account when planning the schedule. A planned schedule involves the original project activities without any modifications and is known as a baseline schedule. To analyze any calendar, you must consider a plan used at the same time or one that has been officially approved by the experts.
Impacted as a planned analysis method suggests that when analyzing activity when shards are introduced into the already planned baseline, a shard represents a change if the project is delayed.
The difference between temporal impact analysis and scheduled impact analysis is that in TIA, the analyzers insert the fragments into the project schedule update; usually it is inserted in the date closest to the delay represented by the fragnet.
If, after inserting the fragment, a delay in the completion date is observed, then it is caused by the cause represented by the fragment.
The planned integrated analysis is a forensic delay analysis methodology. Predicted performance is compared to actual performance, where the impact on the path is assessed cumulatively and over time.
For the PAB analysis, it is suggested to start from an approved schedule, and if you do not have a planned schedule, you can start from a plan that has already been used in a construction process.
When you observe a change in the performance already planned, you should divide the analysis into different periods and then analyze the actual performance by comparing it to the contemporary plan.
Normally, each period of this process begins with an approved schedule based on the modified plan.
