Abstract: An important characteristic of an MIP 3.3 (Observational / Contemporaneous / As-Is) and an MIP 3.4 (Observational / Contemporaneous / Split) analysis is their reliance on the contemporaneous schedules as they were submitted during the project to identify and quantify the project delay.This reliance is based on the belief that the contemporaneous schedules embody the real-time perspective of the project participants and were used to make decisions, prioritize work, manage resources, and track progress.However, schedulers are human, and their schedule may be flawed.Perfection is not the standard, but sometimes the schedule flaw is so significant that the analyst needs to revise the contemporaneous schedule prior to performing the forensic schedule analysis.This paper identifies changes that the analyst may make to the contemporaneous schedules when performing an MIP 3.3 or 3.4 analysis.
