Planning, Scheduling and controls
- Advanced Project Scheduling & Planning
-
Developing, analyzing, and maintaining complex project schedules using Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project.
Focus on establishing accurate Critical Path Method (CPM) schedules, resource leveling, and baseline management.
Service Deliverable Example: Fully resource-loaded, cost-loaded P6 master schedule.
- Forensic Scheduling & Delay Analysis
-
Conducting detailed analysis of project delays to determine cause, responsibility, and quantification of impact (e.g., Time Impact Analysis (TIA)).
Providing expert reports and testimony for claims and disputes (EOT - Extension of Time).
- Cost Management & Cost Control
-
Establishing the project budget, managing cash flow, and implementing Earned Value Management (EVM) systems.
Forecasting Estimate at Completion (EAC) and monitoring costs to prevent overruns.
- Schedule & Cost Audits
-
Reviewing existing project plans, schedules, and cost data to identify weaknesses, non-compliance with industry standards, and areas for performance improvement.
- Project Management Office (PMO) Support & Development
-
Establishing or optimizing a PMO structure, processes, and governance tailored for capital projects or complex programs.
Developing standardized procedures for scheduling, reporting, and change management.
- Software Implementation & Training
-
Consulting on the best-fit scheduling software (Primavera P6, MS Project) for a client's needs.
Providing customized, advanced training and mentorship for client teams on best practices for using these tools effectively.
- Risk Management & Quantitative Schedule Risk Analysis (QSRA)
-
Identifying project risks and performing probabilistic analysis (often using specialized tools like Monte Carlo simulation) to determine the contingency required for schedule and cost.
- Integrated Project Controls Setup
-
Connecting scheduling data (P6/MS Project) with financial systems and project reporting tools to create a single, unified view of project performance
