Identifying the As-Built Critical Path Using Recommended Practice 29R-03

摘要

In retrospective forensic schedule analysis, the as-built critical path is one of the mostimportant subjects. Yet, as suggested by one author’s previous AACE presentation(Portland, 2002), “Catching the Elusive As-Built Critical Path,” identification of the as-builtcritical path is not an easy task even for the most seasoned analyst. This article examineswhether the nine Method Implementation Protocols (MIP) contained in AACE InternationalRecommended Practice 29R 03, Forensic Schedule Analysis, (RP) are capable of identifyingthe As-Built Critical Path (ABCP) and relates the authors’ findings to the different methodsdiscussed in the current 2011 revision of the RP regarding the identification of the ABCP. Thisarticle was first presented at the 2019 AACE International Conference & Expo as CDR.3162.
