Score any schedule against the 14-point assessment in one click.
What it does
Runs the Defense Contract Management Agency's 14-point schedule assessment on a single schedule and shows each check with its result, its threshold, and the exact activities that fail it. It is the fastest way to judge whether a schedule is sound enough to base analysis on.
Each check shows its result against its threshold, with the failing activities listed.
What it helps you achieve
Decide early whether a schedule is reliable enough to build a delay analysis on.
Get a concrete list of the activities behind every failed check, ready to raise with the scheduler.
Support (or challenge) a schedule's credibility with numbers rather than opinion.

Good to know
Thresholds are DCMA's own standard values.
