ALICE describes importing a P6 or Microsoft Project schedule or a BIM model, setting optimization goals and constraints, generating alternatives on a time-cost graph, and selecting or exporting a solution. The chosen scenario still needs a record that explains its inputs, trade-off, authority, schedule promotion, and later variance.
SmartPM presents schedule health, quality, compression, SPI, and predicted-completion indicators. Each KPI still needs the exact imported schedule version, status date, definition, calculation, denominator, exclusions, and method version that produced it.
Bentley describes SYNCHRO 4D as linking schedule and model information to visualize construction sequences; project teams still need baseline, data-date, logic, update, approval, and work-authorization lineage.
nPlan documents schedule forecasting, risk analysis, and assisted project-controls workflows. A forecast can focus management attention, but delay entitlement still depends on the adopted contract, approved baseline and updates, status dates, contemporaneous facts, notice, responsibility, causation, concurrency, mitigation, records, and authorized commercial or legal determination.
Oracle documents a central risk register, qualitative scoring, links from risks to schedules, and quantitative schedule-and-cost simulations. The result can support a risk review only when teams preserve the schedule, cost, assumption, response, and approval records behind it.
