New in Schedule Tracker

Turn the DCMA 14-point schedule check into a reviewable report

Assess a saved Primavera P6 schedule against all 14 schedule-quality criteria, see the measured result and threshold for each check, and drill into the activities behind the findings.

The DCMA report is currently in an administrator-only rollout while we validate the workflow and presentation.

Complete assessment coverage

One report, all 14 assessment points

Each criterion shows its status, calculated measurement, applicable threshold, finding count, and supporting schedule records. Checks that cannot be calculated from the available data are marked as not evaluated instead of being treated as passes.

Logic and relationships

Review missing logic, leads, lags, and relationship-type usage that can weaken the CPM network.

Constraints, float, and duration

Measure hard constraints, high float, negative float, and unusually long remaining activities.

Dates and resources

Surface invalid actual or forecast dates and determine whether required activities are resource loaded.

Missed baseline tasks

Compare the selected update with the project baseline to find work that should have completed by the data date.

Critical path and CPLI

Review critical-path behavior and the Critical Path Length Index against the selected completion activity.

Baseline Execution Index

Measure completed baseline activities against the baseline activities planned complete by the current data date.

Built into the project record

Run it from schedules already saved in ST

1

Select an update

Choose any schedule already imported into the current Schedule Tracker project.

2

Use the project baseline

The earliest saved schedule is selected automatically for baseline-dependent checks.

3

Review the evidence

Move from the 14-point summary into the specific activities and records behind each finding.

A diagnostic tool

Thresholds identify where review should begin

A DCMA 14-point result is not a substitute for the contract, the complete project record, or professional schedule analysis. Schedule Tracker makes the checks repeatable and the supporting evidence easier to inspect; qualified reviewers determine the significance.

DCMA assessment questions

What the assessment does—and what it does not do

Does the assessment cover all 14 DCMA checks?

Yes. It evaluates logic, leads, lags, relationship types, hard constraints, high and negative float, high duration, invalid dates, resources, missed tasks, critical path behavior, CPLI, and BEI. A criterion is clearly marked not evaluated when the required schedule data or user input is unavailable.

How is the baseline selected?

Within the selected Schedule Tracker project, the earliest saved schedule is used as the baseline for baseline-dependent checks such as Missed Tasks and the Baseline Execution Index.

Do I need to upload the XER again?

No. The assessment works from schedules already saved in the Schedule Tracker project database. Select any saved update and run the report directly.

Does a passing report certify the schedule?

No. The thresholds are diagnostic tripwires. The report helps a qualified reviewer locate schedule-quality risks and supporting activity-level evidence; it does not replace contract requirements, professional judgment, or an agency determination.
