THE COMPLETE WORKFLOW

7 steps. Every one produces a deliverable.

You don't just get analysis — you get the report. Every step produces a professional summary that you review, refine, and deliver to your client with your name on it.

1

Step 1: XER Upload & Contractor Narrative

Upload your XER and paste the contractor’s delay narrative. The platform extracts individual delay items with impacts, milestones, and mitigation plans. Add your Owner Assessment for each item: disposition, your own impact days, responsibility, and rationale. Export the PM Review Worksheet to Excel — a structured table of all contractor claims with owner assessments for team collaboration before the next meeting. Milestones linked to each delay item carry forward through the progressive workflow.

Step 2: DCMA 14-Point Health Check

All 14 DCMA metrics with activity-level citations, multi-baseline trending, and metric heatmap. Generates a DCMA Health Summary tailored to your audience with Report Editor — adjust for the owner’s rep, the executive, or the peer reviewer.

Step 3: Schedule Comparison

Three analysis views: Progress Analysis (what happened), Schedule Changes (what logic was modified), and Look-Ahead (where are the risks). Cuts through the noise to show what actually matters between updates. Produces a Comparison Summary with change counts, severity classification, and recommendations — ready to export to Word.

Step 4: Float Path Analysis

Float path analysis with context from Step 3 — delay flags and annotations carry forward so you see critical path activities alongside the concerns already identified. Float Path Summary per milestone with audience presets — write it once for the owner’s rep, rewrite it for the executive with one click.

Step 5: Milestone Variance

Triage view — Critical Issues, At Risk, Due Soon, Behind, On Track. Connects schedule changes from Step 3 directly to milestone impacts. Variance Summary with milestone triage and risk identification — adjust tone and detail level for different stakeholders.

Step 7: Executive Brief

Committed Narratives collect every summary from Steps 1–5 into one version-controlled document. Save drafts, finalize versions, export the complete deliverable to Word. Your name goes on it — every summary has been reviewed and refined by you.

Ask IPSYS — contextual analysis at every step

Ask IPSYS adapts to your current step. In the Gantt, select an activity and ask questions with full context from your health check, comparison, float paths, and milestone analysis — all in one conversation.

The scheduler stays in control.

Every summary is a draft until you say otherwise. Review the findings. Edit with tracked changes. Adjust the audience and tone. Accept or reject every revision. Export when you're satisfied. Your professional judgment drives the final deliverable — the platform handles the data crunching that used to consume your day.
