MIP 3.4 & 3.5 Contemporaneous “Split” & Reconstructed Updated Delay Analysis Methods

Unlike the straightforward update‑to‑update comparison in MIP 3.3, the dynamic split method introduces an additional step that makes a significant difference.

Process Overview:

Begin with the “before of period” schedule (e.g., update no. 02 at 01-Jan-26).

Copy this file, then import actuals from the subsequent update (e.g., update no. 03 at 01-Feb-26).

Actual start, finish, percent complete, and remaining duration are integrated, while the data date remains fixed at the beginning of the window.

The schedule is then run at the end of the window, producing an “end of period” version that isolates progress from logic changes.
