Schedule 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.

• The Schedule Compression captures the amount of effort remaining in the schedule as compared to the baseline.
  • Good compression is 0%-14%
  • An okay compression is 15%-24%
  • A bad compression is >25%
• Examples of Compression and Decompression are as follows

• 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 given things progress as they have thus far. The scheduled completion date shows the completion date based on the current schedule update

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