Planning & Scheduling
Enhanced Planning and Scheduling Consulting
From the tender stage to final delivery, we develop, examine and refine project programmes so they reflect the work as it is actually going to be delivered.
Our approach involves a close look at activity logic, the critical path, dependencies, milestones, forecast dates and constraints. We also review existing schedules to identify gaps or unrealistic sequencing that might affect planned completion.
A programme is not finished when the baseline is approved. It needs to be maintained, tested against actual progress, and reviewed as the work changes.
How we work
A practical sequence
-
01
Understand the work
Set out scope, deliverables, key dates and the requirements the programme needs to represent.
-
02
Build and test
Develop activities, durations and relationships, then test logic, milestones and forecast completion.
-
03
Maintain and explain
Update against actual progress, show what has changed, and give the team a basis for what to do next.
What you get
Useful output, not another unused report
- A programme that reflects the planned order of work
- Clear view of critical path, float and milestone movement
- Updates that preserve logic rather than just moving the data date
- A basis for discussing change, delay and recovery options
When to use this
Use this service when a baseline is being prepared, an existing schedule needs a health review, or the live programme no longer matches how the work is being delivered.
