- 41. Goal-Based Optimization � Objective: Accelerate schedule... by applying criteria …to achieve a given goal
- 42. Setting Acceleration Goal � Choose: � Target date � % acceleration � Duration � Best possible date � Optionally cleanse � Project or activity
- 43. Building Your CriteriaSet � � Steps contain rules � Set priority � � Editable libraries
- 44. The Flexibility ofCriteria Sets � Drive acceleration � Prioritize � Reduce duration � Earliest/latest � Change calendars � Longest durations � Reduce logic lags � Least resistance � Remove constraints � Focus �
- 45. Acceleration Simulation 1. CPM simulation 2. Driving path focus 3. Criteria applied 4. Incremental “push” 5. Is goal reached? 6. Multiple scenarios
- 46. Accept or RejectScenario � Number of days accelerated? � Goal achieved? �
- 47. Compare Scenarios Fuse Forensics Fuse Analysis � Identify changes � Compare schedules � Pinpoint impact � Run metrics � Defend changes � Visualize differences
