CPM (Critical Path Method) Scheduling has become the
industry standard for scheduling projects whether in program
planning, developmental or construction phases. Delays caused by
weather, material, labor or negligence affect other facets of
the project, not just their individual phase. With CPM, this
result can be seen quickly and any necessary changes
can be made efficiently, minimizing their influence.
This method of scheduling, when utilized properly,
is the tool for the project team to quickly deal with
project problems and to bring about a successful
project completion.Scheduling Philosophy
Road maps have been providing the information to
go from A to B for centuries. At the heart of any
project or program lies this road map - the
Schedule.
Analyze your project to understand the objectives
and goals and to provide a realistic schedule to
achieve them.
We will be optimistic, enthusiastic but also
realistic as to the current planning and future
status of your project.
Solutions achieve project goals. Finger pointing
disguises the problems and undermines the team's
ability to focus on the solution.
Maintain impartial, unbiased and accurate
information in reporting project conditions and
status. Using this information we find solutions
that work to resolve conflicts while understanding
all affected parties.
Ask the hard questions and communicate openly to
resolve conflicts.
Provide a schedule that keeps the teams focused
on today and aware of tomorrow.
