What it Does

Visualize Change With Clarity

The Schedule Comparison Tool lets you overlay two schedule versions – baseline vs. current, or any two updates – and see exactly what’s different.

  • Critical and near-critical changes
  • Added and deleted activities
  • Logic and sequence changes
  • Calendar and duration changes

No more guesswork. The visual comparison makes it easy to isolate where the plan diverged from reality without manually exporting or color-coding required.

Understand the Story Behind Every Update

Project schedule changes happen constantly, but few teams take time to analyze them. SmartPM automates the review so you can:

  • Detect manipulation, risk, or data entry errors
  • Verify that updates align with reality
  • Catch scope changes and re-sequencing early
  • Maintain transparency with stakeholders
  • Support forensic analysis and TIA preparation
