Use Case Role: Schedule Analyst

Input Dashboard Application for the setup, flagging and coding of the probability function in preparation for the EAC calculation process.

Input/validation workspace app for the probability function.

Uses statistical modeling to generate probabilistic EAC and ETC S-Curves for projects, allowing organizations to compare them to the Latest Revised Estimate (LRE) and other estimates for a more comprehensive analysis of project costs.

Flags cost and schedule changes across two periods with drill down by Control Account, Work Package and Task level. Allows for changes tracking and impact analysis.

Integrates program management metrics, provides flexibility through the IPMDAR schema, and offers customized information based on user roles.

Verifies data that is loaded in the database via Grid views and other visualizations to allow for validation and review.

User and Workspace Logging Records and visualizes Dashboard Application usage by user and aggregate analytics. Also tracks user transactions on the system for audit and accountability.

Focused application that shows variance trending for an element, it's children and grand children to easily identify cost and schedule EVM variance drivers.

Fully integrates cost and schedule performance metrics and analysis for EVM, GEAC, IMS, and risk information. Provides

Delivers advanced cost and schedule blended metrics and analysis for predicting future cost and schedule variances, and to validate and reconcile metrics based on differing bases of calculation for the same systems.

Enables schedule analysis by allowing users to filter driving paths to a selected milestone in the IMS and provides a comprehensive selection of best practice analytical information for use on the IMS.

Visualization of the entire IMS, with features for drill down, schedule tracing, historical trending, performance metrics, reporting and ad hoc visualization and analysis.

This integration Dashboard Application visualizes EVM and IMS data to identify inconsistencies and provide insights for proactive project management.

Delivers focused key cost and schedule performance metrics for a contract. Especially useful for specialized or new personnel, or for initial analysis and validation of early contract deliverables.

Flags variance breaches and allows for Format 5 variance inputs, links to documentation, and full visualization of all aspects of the process.

Highlights schedule changes, tracks undocumented changes, date, duration, logic, code and criticality changes. Useful in tracking undocumented or ad hoc changes that will create erroneous IMS submissions

Allows the comparison of two time-phased EV data periods, identifying discordant WBS changes and assisting in tracking retroactive changes for consistent planning and execution in cost performance progress calculation and reporting.

Project, Program and Executive Management.

Reports and visualizes level 1 performance data across projects and programs to easily compare performance, providing data regarding differences among project and program performance, and future planning and execution data.

Shows the status of imported data for each contract and period end, recalculates the IBR quality checks, provides data maintenance and allows the import of new or corrected data

Allows the management of the DECM Test Step table and corresponding metadata.

Rolls up DECM trips by entities such as Control Account, Work Package, Time Phasing, Schedule by each Control Account to facilitate reporting and analysis to determine where DECM trips and flags are occurring.

Creates a package of data to assist DCMA or an industry organization with a surveillance and CAM interview environment in one app.

Provides an input environment for recoding of manual or overridden automated scores, with rationales and other historical analytical functionality.

Integrates the underlying cost and schedule data from which DECM results were derived, showing drill down from contract to control accounts to work packages to tasks to time-phased data and logic links.

Visualizing the DECM test results for a selected contract and period end, time-phased trending of surveillance history, providing visibility for proactive management for compliance.

Provides rapid identification of test steps performed and, of those test step trips with detailed information on the reason for the trip.

Provides a consolidated record of a portfolio of contracts that possess organizational commonalities for macro analysis such as a surveillance review for a program, site and business area.

Complete review of data quality test steps to support an IBR.

Integrates the underlying cost and schedule data and other artifacts linked to test-step results derived from showing drill down from contract to control accounts to tasks to time-phased data and logic links.

Provides an input environment for recoding of manual or overridden automated scores, with rationales and other historical analytical functionality.

Manage the CAM interviews with supporting EVM and schedule data to record responses.

Extracts Risky Project risk data into Proteus to generate Risk Matrices, Mitigation plans and Risk Properties.

Full quantitative Schedule Risks Analysis with robust modeling and reporting capabilities.

Quickly identify and prioritize activities and risks that require management attention.

Ability to run a JCL on detailed IMS using both resource rates and or fixed costs as well as analysis on IMS eliminates need to generate a summary model

Top-level milestone schedule showing time-phasing. Slips and consecutive slips and reasons regarding the slippages are noted.

Integrates multiple project schedules together for analysis, including ability to set portfolio baseline schedule to track execution against and defining giver/receivers across projects to track variances and margin across handoffs.

Provides visualization of the entire MS Project schedule, with features for drill down, schedule tracing, historical trending, performance metrics, reporting and ad hoc visualization and analysis.

Highlights the changes in the MS Project schedule from one period to another period including date, duration, logic, code and criticality changes. Particularly useful in tracking undocumented or ad hoc changes that will create erroneous IMS submissions for activity and work accomplishment. Also useful in identifying and reconciling retroactive changes.
