Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis
Learn How to Perform Effective Forensic Delay Analysis,
So You Can Proactively Prevent Claims, Resolve Disputes, and
Stand Out as a Forensic Delay Analyst & Expert Witness
(Without feeling overwhelmed, getting lost in analysis methodologies, and spending so much time and money in claim resolution)
Have you ever encountered schedule delays that led to claims or disputes in your project?
It’s no surprise if you have! Delays are an unfortunate reality in the world of projects. Delays might result in Extension of Time (EOT) requests or liquidated damages.
As you know, Extension of Time (EOT) requests often become unresolved because the delay has been absorbed, or the analysis methodology utilized was a subjective discussion of problems and issues, insufficient to identify and resolve delays properly. This would lead to “extended negotiations with little resolution” or “claims.”
Negotiations may lead to formal dispute resolution with attorneys, which will be costly for all parties involved, apart from a lot of time and effort wasted rather than focusing on delivering the project.
So, how do you tackle the delays or the EOT requests before they yield to a costly claim?
Are you aware of the delay analysis methodology or recommended practices to follow?
Do you feel overwhelmed by the seemingly complex process of identifying, analyzing, and reviewing these delays?
What if you could proactively prevent claims and disputes in your project and focus on completing the projects successfully without all these wasted costs, time, and efforts?
Well, forensic schedule delay analysis could help you do just that!
Forensic schedule analysis is important not just with claims on completed projects but also for resolving delays that have been absorbed into the schedule during the project.
Did You Know...
Failure to provide good forensic schedule delay analysis is a primary contributing factor to the leading cause of disputes, resulting in a failure to resolve claims in a timely manner.
Did you know by performing an early detailed Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis in your projects you could….
✅ Undertake a detailed calculated assessment of the cause and extent of delays, helping resolve issues and conflicts in early negotiations
✅ Identify and analyze delays in your projects that got absorbed into the schedule
✅ Save precious money, time, and resources on formal dispute resolution
Forensic Delay Analysis is both an art and science that should be known by all project controls professionals. In the real world of projects, things often, if not always, go wrong than planned, resulting in a schedule delay and, many times, a claim.
Knowing how to analyze and resolve delays in your project is an important skill to acquire. This will enable you proactively respond to, prevent, and minimize claims and help you decrease the reliance on specialized consultants each time, making you an asset to your organization.
Knowing How to Analyze & Resolve Delays in Your Project is
an Essential Skill to Acquire
But Here Is the Challenge…
Project planners/schedulers are often asked to identify and analyze delays and conduct forensic schedule delay analysis without having a proper understanding of analysis methodologies and techniques.
They usually assume one or two method(s) of delay analysis work in all situations, not knowing each delay analysis methodology is performed differently in different cases.
Forensic schedule analysis is a distinct field, requiring expertise in the analysis methods and experience in claims. Attempting to analyze a delay claim without understanding analysis methods can yield false conclusions and undermine the entire case.
However, most project controls professionals or delay/ claim analysts lack formal forensic delay analysis training.
Wouldn’t it be fantastic if you could gain this essential skillset and learn how to effectively apply the right schedule delay analysis methodologies in your next project?
You Can Proactively Respond To, Prevent, And Minimize Claims
by Learning How To Use the Right Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis Methodologies
What If You Could….
Imagine that you could…
✅ Learn how to effectively implement the schedule delay analysis methodologies in your next project
✅ Resolve issues and conflicts in your project in early negotiations and help prevent extended disputes
✅ Become an asset to your organization by saving your projects time, resources, and money in proactively preventing, minimizing, and responding to claims
✅ Develop your skillsets and stand out as an expert in forensic delay analysis
You might ask, is this all possible?!
Definitely! Knowing how to perform proper forensic delay analysis will open a whole new world of opportunities not just for your projects and organization but also for you and your career.

Amr Magdy
Senior Planning Consultant, Australia
I would like to thank you for such tremendous efforts in providing an in-depth learning journey in the Delay Analysis field. Before I took this course, I didn't have much understanding about FDA techniques or its practical implementations, as there are certain predefined methods used without a clear or structured approach on how to use them.
Thanks to the great explanations and expertise received from this course, I can say that I have a strong foundation to build on in my career in FDA, and to deal with claims with confidence as every word in this course was an added value to me, which I will keep adding on learning and reviewing its material to improve my skills in this challenging but interesting field.

A MUST DO TRAINING! I would like to thank Project Control Academy for conducting such a knowledgeable and myth clearing course. I am happy that I took part in this endeavor. The first thing is that in 95% cases, you won’t find this course or even a similar course on the Internet and getting something from a mentor and authority like Chris Carson. As a professional working in the field, I must say that this course cleared many myths for me and that makes this course very important for advanced level students or knowledge seekers.

Hans du Toit
Costing and Planning Manager, South Africa
Forensic Schedule Analysis is a fairly new concept in the broader South African environment with not many experts to rub shoulders with. Despite my searches locally, and internationally, I did not find any hands-on training or mentoring in this environment. Great was my excitement when I noticed that this course was going to be presented by a person who has not only participated in formulating the Forensic Delay Analysis Recommended Practice, but whom I have come to respect based on his involvement in just about every sphere of Project Controls and specifically Forensic Schedule Analysis.
I commend Project Control Academy team on a very pleasurable learning experience. I must also say that the platform and the delivery method of this course really made me realize that classroom training is not necessarily a key requirement to be able to engage with the tutor. There is ample opportunity to engage through on-line questions and Chris has been very thorough in his responses.
Having done this course, I am not yet a Forensic Schedule Analysis expert, but it has put me on course to become such an expert, if I will continue to yield to the expert guidance Chris has provided in this training.
Trish Pulver

Project Controls Professional, South Africa
I wish to express my gratitude for sharing your expertise and experience in this course. Even though Project controls and Analysis is a fairly "new" and equivocal field for construction projects in most countries, having the backing of this most informative and educationally supportive environment and training has given me the confidence to be able to further implement a greater understanding for the necessity for Project Control implementations and the confidence in providing a strong and stout analytical result for such requirements. This has also further broadened my opportunities to include sound and tested methodologies, for both, "on-the-job" and "post-job" analysis.
Gordon Ralph
Project Professional, United Kingdom
The course has presented me with a number of benefits. The ‘cloak of confusion’ around the type of methodology to use and the multiple names of these methodologies has been removed. The language in RP 29R-03 is clear, simple, and easy to understand. Being a UK type of education and experience person, I have only been aware of the SCL DDL until now and it is very beneficial to me to see this RP. In addition to the case study deliverables and workshop, the supporting documents that show the worked examples on each MIP allow one to clearly see and understand how these analyses are developed. Just the capacity to have retained and recorded all of these lessons is no mean feat. Thank you very much.
Who Is This Training For?
This training is for you if…
✔ You are a project Planner/Scheduler who is trying to expand into analysis of absorbed delays and understand how to perform forensic delay analysis.
✔ You are an expert witness who wants to improve your analysis methodology selections and techniques.
✔ You already have been engaged in some forensic delay analysis, know some forensic techniques, but you’d like to get formal training or a better understanding of Forensic Delay Analysis standard practices.
Bruce Greeson
Project Professional, USA
I recommend this course to clients, contractors, and those who want to learn more about delay analyses to enhance your knowledge, career, or to become an expert in the forensic schedule delay analysis. Prior to this course, the best way to learn delay analysis was to work directly for an attorney, and or a contracts manager, or from a consulting firm with a staff attorney specializing in claims.
Suhudi Dikici
Senior Project Control Manager, Sweden
During this training, my project control approach has been changed and evolved into a higher step. This training became a transformer and gear changer in my career.
Is This Training For Me if ….
➡️ I have “no prior experience” with Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis
No problem at all. This course helps you built upwards right from the basics allowing any project professional, with little or no experience in Forensic Delay Analysis to follow and understand recommended best practices and delay analysis methodologies.
➡️ I don’t have experience in project scheduling
While most participants in the course are planner/ schedulers or schedule analysts, we have found the course to be useful to all sorts of construction professionals; from contract managers with no scheduling experience to knowledgeable schedulers wanting to get more into forensic analysis, and even to already-knowledgeable experts who find tips and lessons from the instructor 40+ years of scheduling and forensic analysis experience.
A lot of the content will be valuable to you as it focuses on all the issues that are time related and the best practices for dealing with those issues.
➡️ I don’t have the scheduling software
Some of the course contents will give you techniques for which you need scheduling tools, but you will be able to participate in the course without even opening any scheduling software and come out of the course with a deep knowledge of forensic analysis methodologies, how best to resolve disputes, and manage any experts you may need to use for analysis.
Are There Any Pre-Requisites to This Course?
This course is suitable for project professionals with a good understanding of project planning/scheduling.
You don’t need to have prior experience or knowledge of forensic delay analysis, although an expert witness or someone who has been engaged in forensic delay analysis in some way or the other, will still highly benefit.
Is Any Software Required for The Course Case Study?
The only place that you need software is to perform the course case studies.
The case studies have Primavera P6 files used to develop the analysis. But the course does not provide P6 training or the software; the presumption is that the student can already use the software.
You can download a free version of Primavera P6, though. Furthermore, you can take the training with any scheduling software you use.
Software is not that important. We still discuss tips and use because many of the participants are schedulers working with a tool regularly, so they can use the tips and strategies in the course to be more efficient. However, the course covers all foundations of forensic analysis that you need to know. It is designed to provide you with a background on delays and forensic analysis methods to determine delays, and that represents most of the sessions.
Rafael Socarrás
Contract Manager, Chile
I'm currently being trained in the Forensic Schedule Analysis course offered by Project Control Academy. I just want to share that the further I get into the training the more I am convinced that it was the right choice. As a Contract Manager, I acquired more solid grounds to objectively think and act as a professional in the Construction Industry and consequently, to avoid the "hired gun" path. The knowledge shared has positively influenced some cases that I have managed on the last two months. This training is a great contribution for the construction community. I truly find it invaluable. Highly suggested.
Hassan Gaafar
Senior Cost Manager, Saudi Arabia
Many thanks for this great course. The Course is of very high quality although it is an online course. It covers almost everything in delay analysis. Although I am not a delay analyst, at the end of the course, I found myself very knowledgeable about the delay analysis and its methodologies and I am able to argue with opposition delay analysts about the methodologies used for the analyses.
