Schedule review practice labs

Three fictional cases for practicing baseline, monthly update and time-impact review.

Fictional cases for professional practice. They do not establish project acceptance or professional qualification.

Intermediate · 30-minute practice lab

Original baseline acceptance lab

Test a fictional original baseline for scope, logic, calculation, documentation, and readiness to become the project control model.

  • Confirm that contract milestones and material scope are represented.
  • Separate documented planning assumptions from model-integrity defects.
  • Test whether the longest path is supported by complete, dynamic logic.
  • Issue an acceptance recommendation tied to the stated review protocol.

Intermediate · 25-minute practice lab

Monthly schedule update review lab

Inspect a fictional monthly update, separate supported changes from forecast-integrity concerns, and issue a defensible disposition.

  • Reconcile the schedule data date with the evidence cutoff.
  • Distinguish documented operating changes from unsupported model changes.
  • Identify conditions that can distort the forecast or critical path.
  • Write a disposition that follows the stated review protocol.

Advanced · 35-minute practice lab

Prospective time-impact analysis review lab

Review a fictional change-event TIA for source-schedule integrity, fragnet logic, calculation comparability, impact reporting, and technical readiness.

  • Verify that the analysis uses the appropriate accepted source schedule.
  • Test whether the fragnet represents the event and connects dynamically to affected work.
  • Separate modeled schedule impact from entitlement, responsibility, and compensability.
  • Confirm that the result is reproducible under consistent calculation settings.
