Identifying & Quantifying Schedule Risk
Where can a project fail and lose time, lose money, or lose both?
As a construction professional, building the plan and sticking to a schedule is made complicated by the unknowns, but to what extent can you control the process to identify and quantify schedule risk for a more secure project? This interactive session will walk through processes of analysis, audits, and more to illustrate where and how you can mitigate your risk in your builds moving forwards.
Enhancing Innovation & Humanization of the Schedule: End-User Friendly Reporting
- Outlining the gap in schedule understanding: appreciating the needs and the importance of specific metrics to your end user
- Identifying flaws in current schedule reporting: what software pieces are available and what ways are there to present schedule data outside of P6?
- Principles to consider when dash-boarding your schedule: how can you make it more “human” for your end user in a way that isn’t too labor intensive?
