Schedule Realism Advisor Dialog Box

The Schedule Realism Advisor provides suggestions for calibrating each activity based on a given criteria.

You can use the Realism Advisor dialog box to define whether the Advisor should calculate suggestions using schedule quality, historical performance, metrics, or fields. After the recommendations are shown, you can click the Advisor icon next to any activity grouping to implement the recommended calibration settings.

Mode

Field	Description
Schedule Quality - Fuse Schedule Index	This mode presents uncertainty assignments based on the Fuse Schedule Index score for each activity and activity grouping. By default, an activity with a score lower than 10% will be flagged as needing more time than planned. Conversely, an activity with a score greater than 75% will be flagged as needing less time than planned
Historical Performance (Baseline vs Current)	This mode compares the baseline plan to the current schedule and looks for discrepancies in order to suggest which activities should be accelerated.
Metric	Select any metric from Fuse to use as the basis for acceleration suggestions.
Field	Select any field from the project to use as the basis for acceleration suggestions.
