The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has recently implemented a 9 point schedule analysis to ensure a schedule's reliability. These 9 Scheduling Best Practices include: 
- Capturing all activities
- Sequencing all activities
- Assigning resources to all activities
- Establishing the duration of all activities
- Integrating schedule activities horizontally and vertically
- Establishing the critical path for all activities
- Identifying reasonable float between activities
- Conducting a schedule risk analysis
- Updating the schedule using logic and duration to determine the dates
While these best practices certainly go far as to improving schedule quality, performing each check manually is both time consuming and costly. Acumen Fuse includes a metric library including all 9 of the GAO best practices.
