The purpose of the AACE® International Recommended Practice29R-03 Forensic Schedule Analysis is to provide a unifying reference of basic technical principles and guidelines for the application of critical path method (CPM) scheduling in forensic schedule analysis. In providing this reference, the RP will foster competent schedule analysis and furnish the industry as whole with the necessary technical information to categorize and evaluate the varying forensic schedule analysis methods. The RP discusses certain methods of schedule delay analysis, irrespective of whether these methods have been deemed acceptable or unacceptable by courts or government boards in various countries around the globe. This RP is not intended to establish a standard of practice, nor is it intended to be a prescriptive document applied without exception. Therefore, a departure from the recommended protocols should not be automatically treated as an error or a deficiency as long as such departure is based on a conscious and sound application of schedule analysis principles. As with any other recommended practice, the RP should be used in conjunction with professional judgment and knowledge of the subject matter. While the recommended protocols contained herein are intended to aid the practitioner in creating a competent work product it may, in some cases, require additional or fewer steps.

I have come across this practice for first time...Looks to be very interesting area to learn...
Further to my question, I want to post this for the information of the members of this forum
“We (the planningplanet.com) have been asked by the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) to see if you are interested in providing possible revisions to the AACE International Recommended Practice Forensic Schedule Analysis Practice Guide.
The AACEi CDR (Claims and Dispute Resolution) Committee have completed their draft for the fourth revision of the practice guide (including changing the name). This document is the first US publication that addresses forensic analysis, and is having some very strong impacts in the States, including showing up in litigation as a bit of a weapon.
US Experts are well served by understanding this document if they plan to testify. They have already seen it over the last two years appear in depositions and litigation cross-examination.
Please find attached to this post, the November2010 Draft for Public Comment on Recommended Practice. This is your last opportunity to offer comments prior to publication on what will become Revision2 of the RP.” http://www.planningplanet.com/forums/forensic-claims-analysis/497151/comment-forensic-schedule-analysis-recommended-practice
