Fourteen checks, pass or fail against the DCMA thresholds: logic, leads, lags, relationship types, hard constraints, high float, negative float, long durations, invalid dates, resources, missed tasks, the critical path test, CPLI and BEI.
One-click fixes for the common failures, each an undo step, and a print-ready Schedule quality report that names the activities behind every failure.
The US Defense Contract Management Agency’s fourteen checks are the most widely used test of whether a CPM schedule is well built: logic on every activity, no leads, few lags, mostly finish-to-start links, few hard constraints, float and durations within sensible bounds, no dates that contradict the data date, and a critical path that actually drives the finish.
Most clients now ask for it with every submission. Doing it usually means a desktop diagnostics licence costing thousands a seat, or a spreadsheet. Here the checks run on the live schedule, recomputed as you edit, and the score sits in the status bar while you work.
Yes, at any size. The check, the fixes and the Schedule quality report are free. Exporting an edited schedule back to P6 or MS Project is free up to 100 activities and £15 per user per month above.
No. It is parsed, scheduled and checked in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
The DCMA defaults, out of the box. A firm or a client with different limits can set its own profile, and the report says which profile it was judged against.
It runs the same fourteen DCMA checks against the schedule as it calculates it. It is not a copy of either product and makes no claim to match their numbers exactly.
