I will do a dcma 14 point schedule health check
Program PMO Director
About this Gig
Would your project plan survive a review by a demanding client, PMO or auditor?
A plan with broken logic, hard constraints or fake float gives you dates nobody can trust. I check your MS Project file against the DCMA 14-point assessment, a widely used reference for planning quality, and tell you exactly what to fix.
What you get:
- Pass/fail scorecard for all 14 checks (logic, leads, lags, constraints, float, durations, dates, BEI, CPLI and more)
- Task-level issue list in Excel (Standard and Premium)
- Prioritized fix list: what to fix first and why it matters
- Repaired project file with a before/after score (Premium)
What I need from you:
- Your MS Project file (.mpp), or an Excel/CSV export from any planning tool
- Your status date, if the project has started
Why me:
PMP-certified project manager with 30+ years in ICT and telecom, including 19 years at Ericsson and 10 years at Huawei. I have managed $10M-$50M projects and teams of up to 80 people.
A clean plan is also the first step before a Monte Carlo risk analysis, which I offer in a separate Gig.
Message me before ordering if your plan has more than 1,000 tasks.

FAQ
What is the DCMA 14-point assessment?
A set of 14 checks used to judge whether a schedule is built well: logic, constraints, float, durations, dates and progress. Each check has a pass threshold, such as no more than 5% of tasks without logic.
Which tools do you support?
MS Project (.mpp) natively. For Primavera P6, Smartsheet or others, send an Excel or CSV export with tasks, durations, predecessors, constraints and dates.
Do you need a baseline?
No. Without a baseline or status date, I run the checks that apply (logic, constraints, float, durations). Progress checks like BEI and missed tasks need a baseline and status date.
Will you change my schedule?
Only in Premium, and only after you approve the fix list. You get your original file untouched plus a repaired copy.
Is my data confidential?
Yes. Your files are used only for your review and are not shared or reused. I am happy to review and sign your NDA if needed.
Basic, Standard or Premium?
Basic for a quick quality check. Standard if you will fix the schedule yourself. Premium if you want me to fix it and show the before/after score.
