Check the activity network
Review relationship gaps, unusual leads or lags, constraints, and activities without clear predecessors or successors. An incomplete network can create misleading float or critical path results.

Construction Schedule Verification & QA/QC Software
A CPM schedule should be reviewed for technical quality as well as its reported finish date. CPMForge provides one-click schedule QA/QC and review reporting tools designed for people preparing and evaluating construction schedules.
Key workflows
Review float, durations and calendars
Look for potentially excessive float, unusually long durations, inconsistent calendars and milestone sequencing. A check identifies items that require engineering judgment; it does not establish that each item is automatically wrong.
Document findings and responses
CPMForge's source homepage describes a review comments workbook, activity-level findings and a schedule narrative. Use those outputs to communicate observations, obtain contractor responses and preserve the review record.
DCMA-style schedule assessment
The product homepage references DCMA 14-point checks within its schedule verification features. The appropriate acceptance criteria still depend on the project contract, specifications and agency requirements.
Who this is for
- Baseline schedule acceptance reviews
- Monthly progress schedule QA/QC
- Contractor self-checks before submission
- Owner and construction manager review comments

What issues do schedule checks examine?
Typical categories include missing logic, lags, constraints, durations, float, critical path continuity and calendar assumptions.
Does CPMForge produce review comments?
The provided CPMForge homepage describes one-click schedule narratives and an Excel review comments workbook.
