Definition: A comprehensive record detailing the actual progress and completion dates of all project activities, reflecting the true sequence and duration of tasks as they occurred during construction.
Key Components:
- Actual Start and Finish Dates: Documents the real commencement and completion dates of each activity.
- Activity Durations: Captures the time taken to complete each task.
- Sequence of Activities: Records the order in which tasks were performed, including any deviations from the original plan.
Use Cases/Industries:
- Construction: Provides a historical record of the construction process for future reference and analysis.
- Project Management: Assists in evaluating project performance and identifying areas for improvement.
- Legal and Claims Analysis: Serves as evidence in disputes regarding delays or changes to the project scope.
Advantages:
- Accurate Historical Record: Offers a detailed account of the project’s execution, aiding in transparency and accountability.
- Performance Evaluation: Enables comparison between planned and actual progress, facilitating lessons learned for future projects.
- Dispute Resolution: Provides factual data to support claims or resolve disagreements related to project timelines.
Challenges:
- Data Accuracy: Requires meticulous documentation throughout the project to ensure reliability.
- Resource Intensive: Collecting and maintaining detailed records can be time-consuming and may require dedicated personnel.
Related Terms:
- Baseline Schedule: The original approved project timeline used as a benchmark for tracking progress.
- As-Planned Schedule: The initial project plan outlining intended start and finish dates for activities.
- Schedule Variance: The difference between planned and actual progress in a project schedule.
Example: A construction company completes a building project and compiles an as-built schedule, documenting the actual dates and durations of all activities. This record is then used to assess performance, address any claims, and inform planning for future projects.
