Time Impact Analysis (TIA)^® is a court-accepted schedule analysis technique created by MDCSystems^®.

Coupled with the application of legal principles, Time Impact Analysis (TIA)^® provides a means for equitably resolving time-related construction disputes. The Time Impact Analysis technique can be characterized as a comparative analysis utilizing three basic scheduling documents.

(1) The As-Planned Schedule is utilized as a benchmark for measuring performance on a project.

(2) The As-Built Schedule depicts the actual sequence of events occurring over the life of a project.

(3) The Adjusted Schedule (Controlling Time Impact) is a series of adjusted schedules utilized to explain major schedule variances over the life of a project.
