CPM Schedule Generator Skill

Purpose

The CPM Schedule Generator Skill develops construction schedules using Critical Path Method including activity sequencing, float analysis, and resource leveling.

Capabilities

• Critical path calculation
• Float analysis (total, free, independent)
• Resource leveling
• Schedule compression
• Gantt chart generation
• Progress tracking
• Baseline comparison
• What-if analysis

Usage Guidelines

When to Use

• Developing project schedules
• Analyzing schedule impacts
• Tracking project progress
• Evaluating alternatives

Prerequisites

• Activity list defined
• Duration estimates available
• Logic relationships established
• Resource constraints identified

Best Practices

• Use realistic durations
• Verify logic relationships
• Identify driving paths
• Update regularly
