Course Content
This is a practical hands-on course with no software product used throughout, and provides in-depth training on the principles behind Schedule Forensic Delay Analysis. It commences with the fundamentals of creating a quality CPM Programme and investigates how to interrogate the quality of a Programme against the DCMA 14-Point Schedule assessment and in line with global best practices for planning & scheduling. We will then introduce delay analysis techniques, and discuss their applicability and use. Finally, we will discuss current contractual issues that impact the handling of delays.
We will interrogate sample scenarios and how to review these programmes based against the various methods of delay techniques taught in the class.
This course can be privately run which facilitates a maximum of 9 delegates. If you wish to register your group on this course please contact us.
