Delay Identification
The time monitoring process helps in identification of any delay in activities and assessment of its impact, if any, on the overall project time line. The possible causes of delays in project activity may be, a) deviation in resource deployed from baseline
plan.
b) deviation in assumed productivity level of resources deployed.
c) deviations in assumed sequencing and workflow of activity in the baseline.
d) any unforeseen factors. The aforesaid causes may result in,
a) alteration in project’s critical path.
b) extension in project duration.
c) alteration in intermediate milestones leading to interface clashes.
The updated baseline schedule can be filtered to identify all those activities which have exceeded or likely to exceed the planned finish time. These identified activities under delay are analyzed through root-cause analysis and mitigated in time control process.
The project metric parameters used for project report preparation are also useful for delay identification.
6.2.7 Reporting for Time Control
The status of the project activities in terms of project metrics actually earned shall be periodically compiled from execution site. The project status report as described in 6.2.5 shall be prepared in time monitoring process. The project status report shall be in the form of narrative, table or graphical charts which will form input report for time control
