I have just finished re-reading David Barrys excellent paper entitled "Beware the Dark Arts! Delay Analysis and the Problems with Reliance on Technology"
There are some good discussion points within the paper, that do not detract from the thrust of the text.
One, which I find quite interesting, is Davids point on what he refers to as "A mechanistic delay analysis methodology..." where he discusses Time Impact Analysis and the principle that a variation issued well in advance of the effect of that variation could be used as a cover for the Contractors culpable delays. (Page 7 of the paper if anyone has it)
