The DCMA leads check identifies predecessor relationships that contain negative lag. A lead allows a successor activity to start or finish before the relationship would otherwise permit. For example, an
DCMA Lags Check Explained
The DCMA lags check measures how often positive lag appears in the logic relationships of an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS). The familiar screening target is approximately 5 percent or less.
DCMA Relationship Types and FS Logic
The DCMA relationship types metric measures the proportion of finish-to-start (FS), start-to-start (SS), finish-to-finish (FF) and start-to-finish (SF) relationships in a schedule. Under the commonly used 14-point assessment criteria, FS
DCMA Hard Constraints Check
The DCMA hard constraints check measures the percentage of incomplete activities restricted by Must Start On, Must Finish On, Start No Later Than, or Finish No Later Than dates. The
DCMA High Duration Activities
The DCMA high duration check identifies unfinished schedule activities with a baseline duration greater than 44 working days. Under the commonly used Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) 14-point schedule assessment,
DCMA 14-Point Schedule Assessment: Complete Guide
The DCMA 14 point assessment is a set of schedule metrics used to examine the structure, status and execution performance of an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS). It checks areas such
DCMA Logic Check: Missing Predecessors and Successors
The DCMA missing logic check identifies incomplete schedule activities that lack a predecessor, a successor or both. The standard metric counts each affected activity once, divides that count by the
DCMA Negative Float Check
The DCMA negative float check identifies incomplete schedule activities with total float below zero. The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) 14-point assessment uses a goal of zero negative-float activities. Therefore,
DCMA High Float Check
The DCMA high float check identifies incomplete schedule activities with more than 44 working days of total float. Under the commonly used Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) 14-point schedule assessment,
