Overview:

Benchmarking project schedules is a powerful means of managing and validating projects, programs and portfolios alike. However, the approach to conducting such benchmarking, whether it is determination of schedule quality/realism or execution performance, can be highly subjective.

This paper introduces concepts that help provide a framework and repeatable approach to developing not only structurally sound schedules (based on accepted Critical Path/CPM techniques) but equally importantly, that bring realism to the schedule with regards to estimated durations, required resources and forecasted rates of execution.
