Z\u00fcmmer\u2019s Analysis Report # 24 \u2013 Out of Sequence in Progress Tasks Report not only lists the \u201cIn Progress\u201d tasks that are out-of-sequence but also sorts the activities in order of # Days out-of-sequence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the illustration, the schedule is calculated using Retained Logic and the Data Date is 20-May-16.  Task D started out-of-sequence and the calculated Early Start is 09-Jun-16. Z\u00fcmmer defines the # of Days out-of-sequence as the difference between the Early Start and the Data Date.
