The AACE Seattle Section is pleased to open our new membership year with a presentation by Greta Martin and Jeff Ottesen. Greta and Jeff will be providing a brief history of the advent of Critical Path Methodology (CPM), and citing professional practitioners who have contributed to the further development of CPM-related Forensic Schedule Analysis.
In his Socratic dialogue, "The Republic," Plato calls necessity the mother of invention. With the advent of CPM scheduling in the late 1950s, the need for a new discipline in scheduling analysis was borne and various methodologies emerged. Fifty years later, at least nine different types of CPM analysis exist, and variations made within each type render an even larger number. In the claims industry, where an expert's credentials are key and compliance with Daubert criteria matter, claimed authorship and acceptance of a methodology is often disputed. In an effort to diffuse such conflicts, research was performed and a chronology formulated to track the evolution and acceptance of CPM analyses. This presentation summarizes results of this effort, recognizes pioneers in CPM schedule analysis, and lists contributions made to the new discipline that today we commonly call, Forensic Schedule Analysis.
