Spotlight on Recommended Practice [55R-09] - Analyzing S-Curves
Abstract:
This recommended practice provides descriptions of S-curves with the intent to improve understanding and communication among project participants and stakeholders when preparing and analyzing graphics based upon project schedule information. The RP describes different types of S-curves that may be generated in a project, provided the proper information is loaded into the schedule and the status of the information is maintained throughout the duration of the project.
