Quick FAQ

Does this include weather or access delays?
No. Add calendar allowances separately for weather, inspections, access, procurement, and crew constraints.

Why is there a rounded duration?
Schedules usually need whole workdays or shifts, so fractional durations are rounded for planning.

What input matters most?
Quantity and daily productivity drive the result. Bad productivity assumptions create bad schedules.

Can I use this for linked schedules?
No. It estimates a single activity duration. Dependencies and float belong in CPM scheduling.
