The essence of windows analysis is not in what is analysed or how, but in the point at which it is
analysed. The methods of discovering the relationships between the causal event and its effect have
been based on an appreciation of the effect on the total contract period. Windows analysis is based not
on the whole contract period but a particular “windows” in time. It is based on analysis of the effects of
delays over the life of a project by looking at the events which have affected progress within each
“window” of the contract period sequentially.
Analysis of the events within a “window” can be carried out by any method that appears suitable in
relation to the data to be analysed. If it is carried out by means of the as-built but-for method then in
“windows” analysis the data will obviously be that derived from factual, as-built information and not an
objective assessment of likelihood such as that used in the as-planned impacted analysis. However, as
with any as-planned versus as-built method, unless the facts are remarkable simple in a programme of
work which is very simple to analyse, claiming for the difference between what was planned and what
was built is a method of proof that is unlikely to be satisfactory as a proof of entitlement, even on a
“windows” basis.
This method is most effective when used contemporaneously and on the basis of the as-planned
programme being updated regularly throughout the course of the project. The CPM programme used in
this method then becomes a dynamic model, adjusting and reacting to the changing circumstances with
each update. However, there is no good reason why this method could not be used retrospectively,
provided that the record of the state of play at regular intervals is available.
It is foreseeable that in any one window there may be a change in the planned logic, sequence, activity
durations and added or deleted activities since these modifications may also change the route of the
critical path in each of the updates and not just actual activity dates compared to the original plan. As
each window is only a segment of the contract period, the results of the analysis of each window must
be summarised and carried forward to the next window. It is thus only when the last window, closing at
actual completion, has been analysed and summarised that the totals of the various changes can be
added together to demonstrate the effect on completion of the various events and contingencies.
At the close of each window it will be necessary to list those events found in the window which, in
relation to what was expected at the beginning of it, represent the:
a) Addition of a new activity; or
b) omission of an activity;
Ref: RAB/P01/ADECH/ENV/2023/C01 38
As the “window” method of analysis focuses on sequential periods of project performance and on the
contemporaneous critical path, this method of analysis has significant benefits over those that deal with
the project period as a whole. Whilst each window may contain number of conditions affecting progress,
because the window necessarily represents a limited period, it will affect few activities. This is the
reason windows make analysis easier, and tends to render the interpretation of the results of the
analysis more convincing than when the analysis is based on hundreds of activities over the whole
contract period.
