Is there a Wizard in Project 2000 that reviews the schedule

[Hawnp]

I was told that someone ran a "wizard" that pointed out discrepancies in a
schedule, things wrong with predecessors, successors, incorrect relationships
(FS, SS, FF) etc. Is there such a review or software in MS Project 2000?

Hi,

Not that I know of; in fact, all you enter and that is not refused by the
software (such as circular relationships) may well reflect your project's
reality - there are so many different kinds of projects!
It is trus that once I write such a "checker" for a customer but that was
based on criteria depending on the customer's use of the software.

Hawnp --

I believe the QuantumPM Schedule Auditor is the tool you are describing:

Hope this helps.

Dale, have you used the Auditor to identify x-project circular
relationships? I've written to the company but don't expect a quick answer.

Andrew --

No, but I saw a demo of the tool at an MPUG meeting several years ago. Why
don't you simply pick up the phone and call these folks and ask them your
questions?

In addition to Quantum's Schedule Auditor, there's also a tool called the
Schedule Integrity Analyzer from a group at www.pmwidgets.com.
