Building Commissioning into the Schedule to Protect Handover, Reduce Failed Tests & Avoid Last-Minute Recovery

  • Planning realistic commissioning durations that account for testing, failures, rework, and recovery time
  • Protecting commissioning from unrealistic acceleration when teams are under pressure to hit handover dates
  • Comparing how teams manage commissioning schedules across dashboards, spreadsheets, and field-facing tools

Practical Takeaway: Leave with a clearer approach for scheduling commissioning as a controlled delivery phase, rather than a compressed final step that creates avoidable risk at handover
