Sample schedule health report
This is a real report output from our engine, built from a synthetic in-progress construction schedule. Every field you see comes from the actual analysis.
Schedule Health Score
Based on the DCMA 14-point methodology
Summary
This schedule shows moderate-to-serious health issues that will likely cause a late finish without intervention. The most urgent problems: (1) negative float on 14 tasks means the schedule already predicts a late finish mathematically, almost certainly caused by the 11.2% hard-constraint rate overriding the logic network; (2) CPLI of 0.88 is a reliable predictor of project overrun; (3) logic density of 1.74 links per task means the network has widespread open ends beyond what the logic check alone shows, making float unreliable across the board; (4) BEI of 0.91 confirms that slippage is already occurring against the baseline. Priority actions in order: fix the 14 negative-float tasks by tracing back to the constraining dates; close the network open ends identified in the logic and logic density checks; update progress on the 7.7% of missed tasks so the schedule reflects current reality.
Check-by-check breakdown
All 17 checks. Free tier shows pass/fail. The paid report adds the offending task list and fix steps for each failure.
Logic (missing predecessor/successor)
8.4% of tasks missing a predecessor or successor (threshold: 5%)
Leads (negative lag)
0 relationships have negative lag. Pass.
Lags (positive lag)
4.3% of relationships use positive lag. Within 5% threshold.
Relationship types (Finish-to-Start)
93.7% of relationships are FS type. Above 90% threshold.
Hard constraints
11.2% of tasks have hard constraints (threshold: 5%)
High float
3.2% of tasks have float above 44 days. Within threshold.
Negative float
14 tasks have negative total float. None allowed.
High duration
6.1% of tasks exceed 44 working days (threshold: 5%). Longest: 87 days.
Invalid dates
No tasks with invalid date combinations found.
Resources / cost
Schedule is not resource-loaded. Check not applicable.
Missed tasks
7.7% of baseline-eligible tasks missed (threshold: 5%).
Critical path test
47 tasks on the critical path. Continuous critical path exists.
Critical Path Length Index (CPLI)
CPLI = 0.88 (threshold: 0.95). Strong predictor of late finish.
Baseline Execution Index (BEI)
BEI = 0.91 (threshold: 0.95). 9% of due tasks are incomplete.
Logic density
Average 1.74 links per task (threshold: 2.0). Open ends prevalent.
Merge hotspots
No task with 8 or more predecessors found.
Insufficient detail
No task exceeds 10% of the project span (174 days).
