Delay analysis is not boring or difficult. No, really, it isn't. True, there are lots of techniques and some of the jargon has an air of mystique, but it can be made more user-friendly. First let me tell you a story (no names are mentioned, because it's fictional): A contractor had a delay claim. The contractor's lawyer advised it to instruct a programming expert to perform a delay analysis. Unfortunately, the expert recommended a method of analysis that did not demonstrate the contractor's entitlement under the contract. The lawyer didn't spot this because he hadn't considered the issue when reading the contract. This was a technical matter and delay is for the experts to deal with, isn't it? And the expert hadn't read the contract because she was not a lawyer.
