Schedule Overview: In assessing how a schedule is doing, especially on larger projects, Project Managers often have difficulty getting an overall perspective.  The Analyzer addresses that challenge.  It provides insight into how the schedule is performing as a whole.

Visual Display: The Analyzer provides a visual display of schedule performance.  This makes it easy to see how the project is progressing.  If the performance significantly varies from expectation, you can review the schedule variance and performance index to glean more information on problem areas.

Tabular Results: Sometimes, the pictures are not sufficient--you need to see the underlying numerical results.  These results are displayed in a table below the graphs.  From the numbers, you can identify the period of greatest interest.  You can then focus your attention on that part of the schedule and determine what actions to take.
