Notice to Proceed: Project completion:

2‐ Pre‐Analysis Checks

Y/N/NA The Project Information (ID, Name, Company name, etc) are Proper/according to Specs
Project Must Finish By is blank
Default Activity Type is set to "TASK"
Default Pecent Complete type is set to "Physical" or as Specs
Critical Path is Defined as the longest path or as Specs

3‐ Calendars Checks

Y/N/NA All Calendars are "Project" NOT "Global"

Constrcution,Weather, Procurement, Review and Approval activities calendars are proper

4‐ Schedule Checks

Y/N/NA Data Date is equal to contract award date or according to SPECS

All Activites have clear and descriptive naming
All Owner activities are represented
Owner responsible activity durations are in accordance with the contract
Activities assigned as Owner responsibility are correctly assigned
All procurement (specially long lead items) activities are represented
Turnover and Closeout activities are represented
Engineering and Procurment Activities are tied to construction
Filter and check activities with durations more than 20 days
Activity codes are assigned to each activity
Activitiy codes assigned to activities are "Project" NOT "Global"
Look activity code dictionary for blank or duplicate descriptions
Look for activities without activity codes and register an N/A or General code for them
No Redundant Relationships
No Open ends except of project start and end
Check Hammock "level of effort" activities relationships
Relationships with nigative lag values are NOT used
lags are not used instead of an activity
Check the use of Start‐To‐Finish relationship
Check for Non‐overlapping lag values
All Contractual Milestones are indicated and met
Normal Activities are free from date/float constraints
Contract Award milestone is constrained to award date
All interim milestones are not constrained, unless the contract directs otherwise
Mendatory Constraints are NOT used
Critical Path is Clearly Depicted
The Baseline critical path has NO ‐ve float values
Critical Path is reasonable
Number of critical activities are within Specs limits
Check the Schedule LOG
The schdule depicts all project scope

5‐ Cost Loading

Major costs are broken down and assigned on the appropriate task
The Total budgeted cost are equal to contract award amount
Cost on Procurement activities are loaded on the end of the activity
Early activities are not excessively front loaded

 6- Resources

Productivity and duration calculation sheets

Subcontractors works and resourced included
Resourse histograms and S-curve
Cash flow cost and total value review
Activiteies are well distributed without gaps

7- Update

Monitoring and update forms can be easily generated

No modification plus or minus else approved
Actual dated applied is within the update period
Percentage related to progress, claimed invoices
Actual log and progress layouts if requred
Out of sequence activities percentage and dates
Resources update, remaining curves
Planned vs Actual report, paths of delay if any
Delay recovery action plans if delay exists
Resources, Cash flow forecast to complete
Leveling applied specially for res. Driven prog.

8- Constructual

Comply with contractual obligations in all stages

All scope of work is only included
Organization chart is adequate to scale of project
Working hours calander for resources
Narrative of method statement and assumptions
Site and phasing layout

9- Activites

Verify WBS and coding systems

Summary and milestone program
Constrains are optimum used, type of const.
Longest / critical and near critical path check
Logic activites durations for quality of work
Approvals, client obligations have right period
Logic relationships comply with project duration
No open end activities except Start and Finish
No extra/un-necessary relations between activities
No invalid relations nor loops in links
Line of balance- LOB charts for linear projects
Risk register for activites, %of critical activities
Logic total float for uncritical activities
