Missed Tasks

The DCMA guideline states no more than 5% of activities should miss their baseline dates.

The Missed Tasks test is a project in-progress review at the time of a status update, which reviews actual performance against baseline forecast.  It measures the number of tasks that have finished later than their baseline finish dates prior to the status date. 

This illustrates the ability of the construction team to meet the requirements of the programme. Consistent failure to meet programme dates is indicative of a problem with the programme and increased risk of Late Finish, both of which need to be addressed as early as possible.  The higher the percentage the higher the risk,

The source of the problem could be due to poor planning, inadequate task durations, lack of resource, or some other problem.  Whatever the cause, early investigation and mitigation is required before it becomes critical.
