Abstract
Some embodiments of the present invention provide systems and techniques for determining a start delay and an execution delay for a task. During operation, the system can receive a status update for the task which indicates that the task has started execution. Next, the system can receive a second status update for the task which indicates that the task has completed execution. The system can then determine the start delay for the task by: determining an actual start time using the first status update; and determining a difference between the actual start time and the task's suggested start time. Next, the system can determine the execution delay for the task by: determining an actual execution duration using the first status update and the second status update; and determining a difference between the actual execution duration and the task's planned execution duration.
