1. A method for managing a project schedule, said method comprising:

  • developing a float profile area chart having a float profile with a float gradient for at least one non-completed activity within the project schedule to pictorially assess schedule viability;

    calculating a schedule risk index (SRI) score to qualitatively assess a risk level associated with the project schedule, wherein calculating the schedule risk index score includes comparing changes from a recent schedule update relative to a previous schedule update based on a plurality of weighted factors to tabulate the SRI score, the SRI score being indicative of risk the project schedule will miss a scheduled completion date;

    measuring a plurality of schedule quality metrics and aggregating the values for the metrics to provide an indication of the project schedule being manipulated by a scheduler;

    recording historical trends for the schedule quality metrics and weighted factors across at least two update intervals; and

    measuring schedule performance by trending early starts and early finishes for the project and a relative slippage occurring from the previous schedule update to the recent schedule update.
