What is Forensic Schedule Analysis?

Forensic schedule analysis is a method used in project management and construction management to investigate delays, disputes or claims related to project schedules. It involves a detailed examination and evaluation of project schedules, often with the aim of resolving disputes or claims related to project delays, disruptions, or failures to meet contractual obligations.

Here are some key aspects of forensic schedule analysis:

1. Schedule Examination: This involves a thorough review of the project schedule, including the baseline schedule, updates, revisions, and any associated documentation.
2. Delay Analysis: It focuses on identifying and analyzing the causes and impacts of delays to the project timeline. This may involve identifying critical path activities, analyzing schedule changes, assessing the impact of events or changes in project scope, and determining responsibility for delays.
3. Documentation Review: Relevant project documentation such as contracts, change orders, correspondence, meeting minutes, and other records are examined to understand the context and history of the project and to identify potential causes of delays or disputes.
4. Expert Opinions: It often involves input from scheduling experts or forensic analysts who have expertise in project scheduling, construction management, and dispute resolution. These experts may provide opinions or testimony regarding the schedule analysis findings.
5. Legal Proceedings: It may be conducted in the context of legal proceedings, such as disputes or claims related to construction contracts. The findings of the analysis may be used as evidence in arbitration, mediation, or litigation proceedings to resolve disputes and determine liability for project delays or failures.

Overall, it is a systematic process aimed at understanding and analyzing project schedules to identify the causes of delays or disputes and to support resolution efforts through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation. It requires a combination of technical expertise in project management and scheduling, as well as an understanding of contractual obligations and legal principles related to construction contracts.
