activity shall be logically tied to the earliest and latest activities in
the phase.
3.3.5
Default Progress Data Disallowed
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The last 2 sentences of the paragraph will be
deleted if not required for the project.
**************************************************************************
Actual Start and Finish dates shall not be automatically updated by default
mechanisms that may be included in CPM scheduling software systems. Actual
Start and Finish dates on the CPM schedule shall match those dates provided
from Contractor Quality Control Reports. Failure of the Contractor to
document the Actual Start and Finish dates on the Daily Quality Control
report for every in-progress or completed activity, and failure to ensure
that the data contained on the Daily Quality Control reports is the sole
basis for schedule updating shall result in the disapproval of the
Contractor's schedule and the inability of the Contracting Officer to
evaluate Contractor progress for payment purposes. Updating of the percent
complete and the remaining duration of any activity shall be independent
functions. Program features which calculate one of these parameters from
the other shall be disabled.
3.3.6
Out-of-Sequence Progress
Activities that have posted progress without all preceding logic being
satisfied (Out-of-Sequence Progress) will be allowed only on a case-by-case
approval of the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall propose logic
corrections to eliminate all out of sequence progress or justify not
changing the sequencing for approval prior to submitting an updated project
schedule.

Negative Lags
Lag durations contained in the project schedule shall not have a negative
value.
