Every successful project starts with a strong schedule, but not all schedules are as solid as they seem. Schedule Validator is a powerful cloud-based tool that analyses your schedule file without making any changes. It identifies logic flaws, risks, and potential delays using objective, industry-standard metrics, giving you a clear view of schedule health from day one.

Compatible with Primavera P6 and Primavera Cloud, Schedule Validator helps you surface meaningful insights quickly. With Compass Consult’s expert guidance, you’ll not only understand what the results mean but also how to act on them. Because the goal isn’t just to pass a check. It’s to improve project outcomes where it counts.

Score your schedule using industry standards

Schedule Validator applies the DCMA+ scoring method to generate a transparent and objective quality score. This industry-aligned approach gives you a reliable way to benchmark schedule health without the need for guesswork. The built-in project dashboard breaks this score down into key components such as logic integrity, float usage, and constraint density.

For a deeper dive, downloadable performance reports provide trend data across schedule updates and highlight persistent weak points. These visuals and summaries help you interpret what the numbers mean and where your schedule needs work.

Includes:

DCMA+ score broken down by logic, float, and constraints
Easy-to-read dashboards for fast benchmarking
Exportable reports showing quality trends and improvement areas

Spot flaws before they impact delivery

Logic gaps, excessive float, and missing relationships may seem minor, but they can lead to major delivery issues. Schedule Validator’s diagnostics dashboard identifies these flaws early and visualises them for quick prioritisation. Heatmaps and issue lists make it easy to spot what matters most.

Accompanying narrative reports give clear recommendations on how to address each issue, helping you turn diagnostics into action. Whether you're managing a single schedule or an entire program, this visibility supports a proactive approach to schedule health.

Includes:

Automated detection of critical schedule flaws
Visual dashboards with risk-based alerts
Reports with step-by-step resolution guidance

Compare planned vs actual with the SEI

The Schedule Execution Index (SEI) is a powerful metric that shows how closely your team’s progress matches the original plan. Alongside the SEI, you’ll also see BEI (Baseline Execution Index) and CPLI (Critical Path Length Index), offering a full picture of execution performance.

These metrics are presented in a dedicated execution report with charts, gauges, and visual summaries. You’ll know whether the project is running ahead, behind, or on target—making it easier to course-correct in real time and strengthen accountability across teams.

Includes:

SEI, BEI, and CPLI metrics with historical trends
Dashboard views of execution variance
Clear visual summaries for performance reviews

See the critical path and trends clearly

Tracking how your schedule’s critical path evolves is essential for proactive planning. Schedule Validator’s tools make it easy to compare baseline and update schedules side by side. You’ll see where tasks have slipped, where float has eroded, and how the critical path has shifted over time.

The trend dashboard aggregates key indicators, from milestone movement to task durations, helping you spot patterns before they become problems. All insights are presented in visual formats that are easy to share with internal and external stakeholders alike.

Includes:

Visual comparisons between baseline and current schedules
Charts showing critical path movement and float changes
Exportable summaries for reporting and stakeholder updates
