How can you measure the impact of schedule delays on project outcomes?

Very familiar method to use for measure the time impact on delay activity or overall project duration of the project that is called critical path method

The Critical Path Method (CPM) is a project management technique used to determine the longest sequence of dependent activities and ensure that the project is completed within a certain timeframe. Here's how it works: 1. Task Breakdown 2. Dependency Identification 3. Duration Estimation 4. Network Diagram 5. Calculate Early and Late Start/Finish Times 6. Float/Slack Calculation 7. Critical Path Identification 8. Monitoring and Control

La ruta crítica la utilizaremos al inicio de un proyecto, para identificar las áreas de oportunidad en cada actividad, pero en realidad, para medir un atraso en específico no la utilizamos debido a que puede haber factores externos o riesgos externos que provocan un atraso.

Earned Value Analysis (EVA) is a project management technique used to assess a project's performance and progress by integrating measurements of scope, schedule, and cost. 1. Planned Value (PV): Estimated value of planned work. 2. Earned Value (EV): Value of work actually completed. 3. Actual Cost (AC): Actual cost incurred for completed work. 4. Cost Performance Index (CPI): Efficiency of cost performance (EV / AC). 5. Schedule Performance Index (SPI): Efficiency of schedule performance (EV / PV). 6. Variance Analysis: Comparing EV, PV, and AC to identify cost and schedule variances. 7. Forecasting: Predicting final project outcomes based on current performance.

El valor ganado es una gran herramienta donde tenemos una gran idea cómo vamos en el tiempo y en cuestión del presupuesto estimado en algún lugar del tiempo durante el transcurso del proyecto, y poder saber si estamos invirtiendo más con menos o menos con más pero es más para saber sus costos

1. Identify Critical Path: Determine which tasks on the project's critical path were affected by the delays. These are the tasks that directly impact the project's overall timeline. 2. Evaluate Cost Overruns: Measure the financial impact of schedule delays, including additional labor costs, penalties, and missed revenue opportunities. 3. Risk Management: Determine if delays have increased project risks or compromised risk mitigation strategies.

Schedule Risk Analysis (SRA) is a method used in project management to assess and mitigate potential schedule delays and uncertainties. 1. Identify Risks: Recognize potential threats to the project schedule. 2. Quantify Risks: Assess the likelihood and impact of each risk. 3. Monte Carlo Simulation: Use simulation to model various scenarios considering identified risks. 4. Analyze Results: Review simulation outcomes to understand schedule uncertainties. 5. Risk Mitigation: Implement strategies to address identified risks and uncertainties. 6. Continuous Monitoring: Regularly monitor project progress and adjust strategies as needed.

Los riesgos son latentes en cada actividad o etapa de un proyecto, el saber identificar o discernir entre un riesgo que pude ser transferible, aceptable o saberlo mitigarlo, Y si de acuerdo que cualquier que cualquier riesgos nos provocara un atraso en el proyecto, pero no es lo más sofisticado para medir el atraso del proyecto

Schedule Delay Analysis involves examining the reasons behind schedule delays in a project. 1. Identify Delays: Recognize instances where project timelines are not met. 2. Gather Data: Collect information on the duration and causes of delays. 3. Root Cause Analysis: Identify the underlying reasons for each delay. 4. Impact Assessment: Evaluate the impact of delays on the project timeline and budget. 5. Quantification: Measure the extent of each delay in terms of time and cost. 6. Documentation: Document findings, including causes and impacts. 7. Mitigation Strategies: Develop and implement measures to prevent delays in future projects.

El hacer un análisis de ventana, para mis colaboradores si es importante con él nos demuestra el cronograma planificación con real y así poder cuantificar el retraso y la interrupción, el impacto que provoca, Tanto puede ser atraso Ambiental, como del área de proyectos o por humanos, pero se tendrá que analizar a qué se debe y tratar de analizar cómo se pude corregir inmediatamente con lluvia de ideas de todos los involucrados.

Schedule Performance Measurement involves assessing how well a project adheres to its planned timeline. 1. Baseline Establishment: Set the initial project schedule. 2. Progress Tracking: Monitor actual progress against the baseline schedule. 3. Metrics Calculation: Calculate Schedule Variance (SV) and Schedule Performance Index (SPI) to gauge deviations. 4. Analysis and Action: Assess reasons for deviations and take corrective actions to keep the project on track. 5. Take Action: Implement corrective actions to address schedule variances and keep the project on track. 6. Continuous Monitoring: Regularly review and adjust plans as needed.

El estar verificando al final del día lo que se tiene que avanzar y analizar si se cumplió o no y estamparlo en una bitácora para poder saber con exactitud qué sucedió un día específico. Cada día revisar el cronograma como una regla y poder inspirar al equipo de colaboradores que estén enterados lo que se espera por cada actividad asignada a un especialista en su ramo.

Establish a baseline schedule during the project planning phase, including key milestones, deadlines, and critical path activities. Then during the project, identify and document any deviations from the baseline schedule as soon as they occur while analysing the critical path if it’s affected or will be then plan ahead to counter the delays
