Hi
Does anybody have more information on Conformance Scoring? The PMI list is a good start, but I think we all agree that there is more to a "good schedule" than to mark the items on the list.
How about starting to add items on a list, maybe some measurable issues that could influence a good schedule.
Examples:
a.) Depending on industry or phase of a project, the max. duration of an activity (task or recourse dependent) should be 2.5 x the reporting period.
b.) The relation from milestones to activities should be min 1:xx. I have seen schedules where on every second activity a milestone is attached.
c.) Obvious: Number of activities without PRED/SUCC. Should be 1 for each, Project Start and Finish. But if not, is there a documented reason, some other method to monitor the activities without PRED/SUCC?
d.) Ratio activities to activity realtionships.
Any other ideas?
