Schedule Health Check
A structured review of your P6 or MS Project schedule, with prioritised findings and recommended fixes.
Can you rely on your schedule?
Before you submit a program, build an update on an older file, or accept a schedule from someone else, it helps to know how well it holds together. We review it and tell you what to fix first.
What we check
The checks that apply depend on what your file contains.
- Logic: open ends, missing links, relationship types, lags and leads
- Constraints and dates: hard constraints, deadlines, out-of-sequence progress
- Progress data: data date, actual dates, remaining durations
- Critical path and float: continuous critical path, negative or excessive float
- Calendars and durations: calendar assignment, very long or very short durations
- Scheduling settings: how the schedule is set up to calculate dates and float
- Structure: WBS and coding consistency, milestone coverage, contract requirements
- Resource loading: over-allocation, where resource data is provided
What we need
- Your schedule file (.xer or .mpp for a full review)
- An Excel export allows a limited review only
- What it is for: tender, baseline, update or review
- Your contract scheduling requirements, if any
- Scope assumptions, if you want durations reviewed
What you get
- A PDF report with findings ranked by priority, the activities affected and the recommended fix
- A one-page summary for managers
- Optional: corrections to the schedule, quoted separately. Corrections need a native file. You receive a corrected P6 (.xer) or MS Project (.mpp) file, based on your request.
How it works
- RequestTell us about the schedule and what it is for.
- ScopeA short scoping discussion confirms the file format and the checks that apply.
- QuoteYour quote sets out the scope, fee, delivery date and one round of revisions within the agreed scope.
- DeliverReceive your report on the date confirmed in your quote. Optional corrections follow as a separate quote.
Scope: One schedule per Health Check. Larger or multi-schedule reviews are quoted. A Health Check reviews the quality of the schedule. It does not analyse the causes of delay.
