Effective project delivery requires active schedule management and real-time progress tracking. Our Live Program Management and Tracking services maintain current, accurate project schedules that reflect reality, track progress against baselines, and identify emerging risks before they impact project completion. We combine advanced scheduling expertise with real-time program controls to keep your projects on track, deliver on time and within budget, and provide early warning of schedule issues.
What We Do
Schedule Development & Baseline Establishment
Develop detailed project schedules aligned with contract requirements and project objectives. We establish comprehensive baseline schedules, freeze baselines at key milestones, and maintain schedule integrity throughout project execution using Primavera P6 and advanced scheduling techniques.
Regular Progress Updates & Tracking
Update schedules regularly to reflect actual progress. We track progress against baselines, identify variances, and report on schedule performance. We maintain current schedules that accurately reflect project status and enable effective management and decision-making.
Risk Identification & Early Warning
Identify emerging schedule risks and provide early warning of potential delays. We monitor critical path activities, track float consumption, and alert project teams to schedule risks before they impact project completion dates. We support proactive risk management and mitigation.
Mitigation & Recovery Planning
Develop and evaluate mitigation and recovery strategies to address schedule risks and delays. We model acceleration scenarios, evaluate fast-tracking and crashing options, and quantify the cost and feasibility of recovery strategies to support decision-making.
Scenario Modelling & Forecasting
Model delay scenarios and forecast project outcomes under different assumptions. We develop multiple schedule scenarios to test assumptions, evaluate “what-if” situations, and forecast the impact of potential delays on project completion dates and costs.
Stakeholder Communication & Reporting
Provide clear, regular communication on schedule status to project stakeholders. We prepare executive summaries, detailed progress reports, and visual dashboards. We support stakeholder engagement and alignment on schedule performance, risks, and forecasts.

Scheduling Tools & Expertise
We leverage industry-standard scheduling tools and advanced techniques to support live program management and tracking:
Primavera P6
Advanced schedule development, baseline management, and progress tracking. We use P6 to develop detailed project schedules, maintain baselines, track progress, and generate comprehensive reports.
Real-time Progress Tracking
Maintain current schedules and track progress in real-time. We update schedules regularly, identify variances, and provide timely reporting on schedule status and performance.
Baseline Management
Establish and maintain project baselines aligned with contract requirements. We develop baseline schedules, freeze baselines at key milestones, and track actual progress against baselines.
Scenario Modelling & Forecasting
Model delay scenarios and forecast project outcomes. We develop multiple schedule scenarios to test assumptions, evaluate mitigation options, and forecast project completion dates.
Tracking Cadence & Reporting
We provide flexible tracking and reporting aligned with project needs:
Weekly Updates
Weekly schedule updates and progress tracking. We maintain current schedules, identify emerging issues, and provide weekly status reports to project teams and stakeholders.
Monthly Reporting
Comprehensive monthly progress reports including schedule status, variance analysis, risk identification, and forecasts. We provide detailed reporting to stakeholders and decision-makers.
Executive Dashboards
Visual dashboards summarising schedule status, key metrics, and risks. We provide executive summaries for senior stakeholders and decision-makers to support informed decision-making.
Ad-hoc Analysis
On-demand analysis and reporting to support specific project decisions. We provide rapid analysis and recommendations when needed to address emerging issues or opportunities.
