Critical project delays

See which critical path activities and constraints delayed the project, by how many days, and why.

Use the Project Delays and Advances widget in Insights to see which critical path activities and constraints delayed the project, and why. The critical path is the activities and tasks where any change moves the project end date; critical activities show as solid red bars.

Users must enter the reasons for delay while they plan and monitor the work. Insights collects these reasons and sorts them into categories.

The widget has two tabs:

  • Project: the critical path activities and constraints that delayed the project. The columns are Activity/ Constraint, Activity/ Constraint Delay (days), Project Delay (days) and Reason.
  • Critical milestones: each delay or advance of a critical milestone.

In a sample project, the activity 2nd Storey Structure (Gym Building) was delayed by 32 days. This delayed the whole project by 26 days.

Click an activity or constraint to see each delay, its reason and the responsible party.
