General Metrics - How metrics are calculated in SmartPM

Compression - SmartPM schedule compression captures the amount of effort required to complete the remainder of the project. This is compared to the same amount of final remaining work in the baseline.


Delay analysis -Our tool conducts a thorough Half-Step Delay Analysis on a day-to-day basis, comparing every day to the last. This process involves identifying critical path activities, analyzing task dependencies, and evaluating progress against planned schedules


Planned Acceleration - The difference between the end date variance and how much delay you have, usually due to schedule changes


Forecasted/Predicted Completion Date - SmartPM’s™ Forecasted Completion date uses a proprietary algorithm utilizing current progress to give a realistic estimate of what the completion date of the schedule should be, if you continue to work at your current SPI rate.

Note: Forecast Completion date will not populate until the project is approximately 50% complete.
