A closer look

Owners deny vague delay requests. A time impact analysis using the current schedule shows exactly how a change affected the critical path. It is the language schedulers and owners understand.

Where to start

Keep the schedule updated monthly so a TIA can be prepared quickly.

An example

Common mistakes

Outdated schedules, missing documentation and late submissions.

What to track

Track TIAs submitted and approved days.
