1.3. Schedule Integrity Analysis Highlights
- We identified 6 activities not connected to any successor, representing 3.6% of all project activities (6 of these activities are not yet completed, representing 3.6% of all project activities). Activities without successors are interpreted by the HCP analysis as end points in the schedule. To ensure an effective HCP analysis, we recommend that all such activities be reviewed and corrected, if necessary, before resubmitting the schedule for a full HCP analysis. Refer to section 2.2 for details.
- We identified 2 start-to-finish (SF) links in the schedule (this represents 1.1% of all links in the schedule). SF links specify that a successor activity ends when the predecessor activity begins. In general, it is not recommended to utilize this type of link because it can cause difficulties in executing the project. To ensure an effective HCP analysis, we recommend that all such links be reviewed and corrected, if necessary, before resubmitting the schedule for a full HCP analysis. Refer to section 2.3 for details.
- We identified 3 instances in which a successor activity is scheduled to begin before the activities which precede them (this represents 1.8% of all activities in the schedule). This obviously impossible situation, without management attention, has the potential to cause serious project delays. To ensure an effective HCP analysis, we recommend that all such activities be reviewed and corrected, if necessary, before resubmitting the schedule for a full HCP analysis. Refer to section 2.4 for details.
- We found that the specified durations of all activities are consistent with their defined start date, end date and the schedule's calendar. This is a good indicator of high schedule integrity.
- We identified 3 overdue activities (representing 1.8% of all activities in the schedule), which should have already been started as of the effective date of this analysis (September 12, 2009). Refer to section 2.6 for details.
1.4. HCP Critical Path Analysis Highlights
- The 2 paths found in the schedule with the longest duration (180.1 days), referred to herein as the "HCP critical paths," are not both identical to the conventional (CPM) critical path(s). This means that there are 2 previously-hidden critical paths in the schedule (consisting of a total of 52 activities) requiring urgent management attention. Without this attention, the on-schedule completion of the project is in jeopardy. Refer to section 3.2 for details.
- The schedule's end date could possibly be brought forward by up to 20.8 days, by addressing lags and/or constraints among activities within the HCP critical path. Refer to section 3.3 for details.
- We identified no instances of overlapping activities in the HCP critical paths. This indicates a plan with relatively low risk of falling behind schedule at any particular point in the project. However, we recommend seeking out opportunities where activities found in the HCP critical paths may be performed in parallel. While doing so will add a degree of risk at these particular points in time, it will add a buffer at the end of the project, thus increasing the probability of completing the entire project on schedule. Refer to section 3.2 for the activities contained within the HCP critical paths.
- Of the schedule's 166 activities, we identified 52 activities within the 2 HCP critical paths and within another 61 "HCP near-critical paths" – this indicates a minimally risky project. These activities require management attention. Refer to section 3.5 for details.
- We identified 19 activities as difficult-to-track. Refer to section 3.6 for details.
- We identified 9 unstarted (overdue) paths in the schedule. This could indicate a number of different potential problems which require urgent management attention. Refer to section 3.7 for details.

| Activities with predated successors | 3 | |
| Activities with calendar inconsistencies | 0 | |
| Overdue activities | 3 | |
2.2. Activities Unlinked to Successors
We identified 6 activities not connected to any successor, representing 3.6% of all project activities (6 of these activities are not yet completed, representing 3.6% of all project activities). Activities without successors are interpreted by the HCP analysis as end points in the schedule.
Analysis Warning: To maximize the effectiveness of the HCP analysis, we recommend that these activities be reviewed and corrected, if necessary, before resubmitting the schedule for a full HCP analysis.

2.3. Start-to-Finish (SF) Links
We identified 2 start-to-finish (SF) links in the schedule (representing 1.1% of all links in the schedule). SF links specify that a successor activity ends when the predecessor activity begins. In general, it is not recommended to utilize this type of link because it can cause difficulties in executing the project.
Analysis Warning: Unless the schedule was logically designed starting at the end of the project and working backwards, we recommend that all SF links are replaced with finish-to-start, finish-to-finish or start-to-start links. If these links must remain in the schedule, please let us know so that we can fine-tune our HCP analysis to take this into account.
Note: Each pair of activities is listed with the predecessor first, followed by its successor.

2.4. Activities with Predated Successors
We identified the following 3 instances of successor activities scheduled to begin before the activities which precede them (representing 1.8% of all activities in the schedule). Without management attention, this obviously impossible situation has the potential to cause serious project delays. To improve the integrity and robustness of the schedule, we recommend correcting these errors.
Analysis Warning: To maximize the effectiveness of the HCP analysis, we recommend that these instances be reviewed and corrected, if necessary, before resubmitting the schedule for a full HCP analysis.
Note: Each pair of activities is listed with the predecessor first, followed by its successor.

2.5. Activities with Calendar Inconsistencies
We found that the specified durations of all activities are consistent with their defined start date, end date and the schedule's calendar. This is a good indicator of high schedule integrity.
2.6. Overdue Activities
We identified the following 3 overdue activities (representing 1.8% of all activities in the schedule), which should have already been started as of the effective date of this analysis (September 12, 2009).

3.3. Opportunities for Bringing Forward the Schedule's End Date
Our HCP critical path analysis revealed lags and/or constraints in the HCP critical paths which may provide opportunities for bringing forward the project's end date.
The following four types of opportunities may appear below:
| Type of Opportunity | Description & Recommendation |
| Link | There is a gap of time between the end of this activity and the start of its successor. Recommendation: Look for opportunities to eliminate the lag between these activities and/or to eliminate the constraint on the successor's start date. |
| End | There is a gap of time between the end of this activity, which is the last activity in the longest HCP path, and the end of the project schedule. Recommendation: Look for opportunities to eliminate constraints on the CPM critical path and thus bring forward the schedule's end date. |
| Start | There is a gap of time between the start of the schedule and the start of this activity, which is the first activity in the longest HCP path. Recommendation: Look for opportunities to eliminate the constraint on starting this activity. |
| Today | There is a gap of time between today (or August 18, 2009, the earliest date in the range of this analysis) and the start of this activity, which is the first activity in the longest HCP path. Recommendation: Look for opportunities to eliminate the constraint on starting this activity. |
The schedule's end date could possibly be brought forward by up to 20.8 days, by addressing lags and/or constraints related to the following activities which are within the HCP critical path:
| # | Type | Activity ID | WBS | % Completed | Start Date | End Date | Differential | HCP Path # |

| Relocate the LXK Ultra #1 with its adjacent table to an empty location in the 7in Photo area | ||||||||
3.4. Overlapping Activities in the HCP Critical Paths
We found no instances of parallel activities in the HCP critical paths. This indicates a plan with relatively low risk of falling behind schedule at any particular point in the project. However, we recommend seeking out opportunities where activities found in the HCP critical paths may be performed in parallel. While doing so will add a degree of risk at these particular points in time, it will add a buffer at the end of the project, thus increasing the probability of completing the entire project on schedule.
3.5. Activities in the HCP Near-critical Paths
Of the schedule's 166 activities, we identified 52 activities which are within the 2 HCP critical paths (detailed above in section 3.2) and another 20 activities within 61 "HCP near-critical paths" (detailed in this section). This indicates a risky project, and these activities require urgent management attention.
The activities in the following table are listed in decreasing order of importance, i.e., those listed first in the table require the most management attention in order to ensure successful project completion. This order is determined by the "HCP duration float" of the HCP path in which the activity appears. The HCP duration float is the difference in duration between the longest HCP path (i.e., the HCP critical path) and the particular HCP near-critical path in which the activity appears. In other words, the most critical activities to manage are those which appear within the HCP near-critical paths with the smallest duration float.
We strongly recommend that the "hidden critical activities" listed in the following table (and those listed in section 3.2, above) be used as the basis for focusing management attention in the following ways:
- Make sure to accurately assess resource requirements and timing in order to ensure that these activities not be delayed due to lack of critical resources.
- Make sure to include these activities in any risk management assessment of this project.

3.6. Difficult-to-Track Activities
We identified 19 activities as "difficult-to-track." These are activities which have a duration longer than 8.6 days (we determined this threshold based on our overall analysis of this schedule). We recommend subdividing these activities into a number of activities of shorter duration in order to improve management monitoring and control of these activities.

3.8. Identified HCP Paths
The following table lists the unique HCP paths identified in our analysis, and the activities included within each one.
Notes:
- This table contains only the first 30 identified HCP paths. The complete list of all 63 HCP paths is available upon request as an appendix to this report at no charge.
- In the Included Activities column, a comma (,) between activity numbers represents a Finish-to-Start connection, while a parallel symbol (||) represents a Finish-to-Finish or Start-to-Start connection.
- The Path Duration Float is the difference in duration between the longest HCP path (i.e., the HCP critical path) and the particular HCP path.

3.9. Redundant HCP Paths
We identified 111 redundant HCP paths in this schedule.
A redundant HCP path is a path (e.g., Path X) whose entire set of included activities appears within a different path containing a greater number of activities (e.g., Path Y), as in the following example:
Path X: A → B → E → F
Path Y: A → B → C → D → E → F
Path X is redundant.
The following table lists the redundant HCP paths identified in our analysis, and the activities included within them.
Notes:
- This table contains only the first 30 redundant HCP paths. The complete list of all 111 redundant HCP paths is available upon request as an appendix to this report at no charge.
- In the Included Activities column, a comma (,) between activity numbers represents a Finish-to-Start connection, while a parallel symbol (||) represents a Finish-to-Finish or Start-to-Start connection.
- The Path Duration Float is the difference in duration between the longest HCP path (i.e., the HCP critical path) and the particular HCP path.
