Every programme contains assumptions about activity durations, sequencing, resources, access, and information availability. When circumstances change, those assumptions may need to be reviewed to understand why planned dates have moved. Identifying the assumptions behind a programme can therefore provide useful context when discussing schedule performance. It can also encourage project teams to question whether the original sequence still reflects current conditions. Professionals wanting to develop this analytical approach may benefit from project scheduling training. The College of Contract Management provides an educational resource related to construction scheduling and forensic programme analysis. If you would like to discuss the course before enrolling, the admissions team is available to help.
