Frequently Asked Questions
A critical path report identifies the activities that drive the project completion date — those with zero or minimal total float — and tracks their status, so the team focuses on the work that actually determines when the job finishes.
The Delay Log records each delay event with its cause classified as excusable, compensable, concurrent, or non-excusable, the schedule-impact days, whether a contractual notice was issued, and the recovery action — building the record you need for any time-extension request.
A delay analysis is the detailed forensic study of a specific claim; this report is the ongoing operational log of critical-path activities and delay events that feeds it — the running record, not the final analysis.
