FORENSIC SCHEDULE ANALYSIS:! EXAMPLE IMPLEMENTATION PART II

摘要

Recommended Practice R - Forensic Schedule Analysis, has aroused significant debate in the forensic scheduling community since its original publication in 2007. Now in its second revision, the RP continues to evolve in pursuit of the original goal of providing a unifying technical reference for the forensic application of the critical path method of scheduling. During the development of the original RP, there was a proposal to include example analysis implementations, in so-called "cookbook" sections. The material developed for two of those sections was presented in 2008, in a paper detailing the forensic analysis of a sample project using Method Implementation Protocols 3.3 and 3.7. This article presents an analysis of the same project using MIPs 3.1, 3.2, and 3.8; presents a comparison of the results from all five analyses; and provides additional discussion of issues likely to be encountered in an actual implementation of the guidelines in the recommended practice. This was manuscript CDR.493 at the 2011 Annual Meeting.
