Project schedules are living documents that must be actively managed and updated to reflect reality. Our Live Program Management services maintain current, accurate project schedules that track progress, identify emerging risks, and support proactive decision-making. We combine advanced scheduling expertise with real-time program management to keep your projects on track and deliver on time and within budget.
What We Do
Schedule Development & Baseline Establishment
Develop detailed project schedules aligned with contract requirements and project objectives. We establish baseline schedules, freeze baselines at key milestones, and maintain schedule integrity throughout project execution. We use Primavera P6 and advanced scheduling techniques.
Progress Tracking & Reporting
Track actual progress against baselines and provide regular reporting on schedule status. We update schedules regularly, identify variances, and report on schedule performance. We provide clear, actionable reporting to support 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.
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 support proactive delay management.
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.
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.
