Develop reliable schedules
Analyze P6 (.xer) and NetPoint® files to improve results
The Schedule MD module for NetPoint allows project planners and schedulers to develop and analyze schedules for a more reliable project outcome. The innovative features of Schedule MD are designed to provide certainty, a key advantage of project management consulting services. Utilizing Schedule IQ™, an algorithm that scores schedule reliability based on compliance with PMA’s Core Traits of a Reliable Schedule protocol, combined with additional metrics according to the DCMA 14-Point Assessment, project planners can identify and repair the weakest parts of their schedules, resulting in more accurate overall scores.
