Use the results of the Schedule Health Score tool to identify activities that could negatively impact the outlook of your project schedule.

Each check provides the following information:

• A count of the number of activities that do not meet its criteria
• The number of activities as a percentage of the whole project
• A red indication if the actual percentage exceeds the target defined in the settings and a green indication if it is at or below the target
• A list of activities that do not meet the check's criteria
• A description of what should be modified to improve the check score

Typically, checks with higher percentage scores require more immediate attention. Individual check scores contribute to an overall schedule health score. A higher schedule health score indicates a higher quality schedule. Schedule checks are run against the current schedule or a schedule scenario.

Note: Some check scores are calculated after saving your data, while other scores are calculated after scheduling the project. Before using the Schedule Health Score tool, you should schedule the project to ensure you are viewing all the latest results.

To view the schedule health check results:

1. Navigate to the project Activities page
   1. In the object selector, select ﱆ Project, select View Projects List, and then select a project name.
   2. From the  Main Menu, select  Schedule, and then select Activities.
2. Select  Schedule Health Score.
3. In the panel, select a check to view the activities that do not meet the check metric's criteria. Select an activity to highlight it in the grid.
4. Modify the activity details that relate to the check, and then schedule your project to view updated check scores.

Tips

• Filtered activities that do not meet a check's criteria are still included in the check score. Select a check, select  More Info next to any filtered activity, and then select Clear All Filters to clear all filters applied to the view.
• You can temporarily add a filtered activity to the current view by selecting the activity name in the Schedule Health Score detail window. A tooltip provides more information about the filtered activity when you place your cursor above the activity name. Refreshing the page reapplies all current filters and removes filtered activities from view.
• WBS Summary activities are not factored into the check score.
• Schedule health checks use the baseline that is set as the Earned Value baseline for consistency with costs and earned value calculations.
• Select a check and then select Description to view a description of the check. Descriptions can be modified in the project settings.
• You can resize the Schedule Health Score panel by selecting the left edge of the panel and dragging to the desired size.
