13 Interrelated Factors
HKA found an average of 13 causation factors per project, highlighting how closely connected schedule and cost issues can become.
1. Correct Logic
Activities are properly connected, allowing the schedule to flow as planned and reflect the intended sequence of work.
2. Broken Link
One incorrect or missing relationship can create a hidden problem, affecting the logic and reliability of the entire schedule.
3. Hidden by Float
Float can conceal critical issues for months, allowing delays and schedule problems to remain unnoticed until they become significant.
4. False Critical Path
An incorrect path can appear critical, distorting delay analysis, responsibility assessment, and potential liability.
5. Distorted Outcomes
When schedule logic is flawed, delays may be attributed to the wrong causes, leading to incorrect conclusions about responsibility and impact.
6. HPM Logic Review
A forensic schedule review can restore accurate logic, identify hidden relationships, and provide a stronger foundation for defensible conclusions.
