Tool 03

Schedule reality check

Upload the schedule you already have — PDF, Excel or CSV from Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet or Procore — or paste it in. The tool pulls the activity table out of the file and recognises the columns from their headers, so you do not have to rename anything. It then tells you which activities are behind, over budget, or both.

Your activities

Recognised headers: activity / task / description · start · finish / end · % complete / percent complete / progress · budget / cost / planned cost · actual / actual cost / cost to date. Dates can be yyyy-mm-dd, dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy.

Schedule health

Paste or upload activities to begin.

An activity is behind when its finish date is in the past and it is not 100% complete (drawn from the plan's own dates), over budget when actual cost exceeds its budget at completion, and at risk when it is both. Forecast cost at completion for the plan = actual to date + remaining budget on the unfinished activities.

How to use it

  1. Export the activity list from P6, Microsoft Project or your scheduling tool as CSV or Excel.
  2. Paste it, or choose the file.
  3. Check the columns the tool recognised, and correct any it guessed wrong.
  4. Read the late, over-budget and at-risk activities.

A worked example

An activity due to finish two weeks ago at 70% complete is behind. One that has spent $182K against a $160K budget is over. One that is both is where the overrun is coming from — the tool lists those first.

Questions

Can I check a Primavera P6 schedule without P6?

Yes — export the activities to Excel or CSV from P6 and paste or upload them here. The file is read in the browser.

How does it decide an activity is behind?

Its finish date is in the past and it is not 100% complete, using the schedule’s own dates.

Does it read Microsoft Project files?

Export from Project to Excel or CSV first; the tool reads those, and PDFs with a text layer.

Is my schedule uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read in your browser and never sent to a server.

These tools are manual. The dashboard does the same arithmetic across every job, every company and every week — plus the money-at-risk view, the audit findings and the overrun radar. Join the private beta and we will connect it to the systems you already run.
