Abstract: A timeline schedule analysis study is modeled for automatically generating business intelligence information regarding the timeline schedule. A software application program is provided that has equations and business rules that together define a process, a timeline, and deliverables associated with the timeline schedule analysis. The program is populated with timeline schedules prepared using other software. The program provides a process and apparatus for identifying and ranking activities with anomalies in a list based on equations and business rules. In order to evaluate and forecast the performance of the timeline schedule, trend analysis of the anomaly metrics is automatically generated. An apparatus for collaboration between project's parties to enhance the communications and facilitate exchanging the comments and changes of the timeline schedule is provided.
