Seminars
- Defining the appropriate level of schedule detail for large, complex projects instead of relying on broad activities that leave coordination to the field
- Challenging industry norms around monthly updates by showing how shorter progress windows improve accuracy, field input, and decision-making
- Maintaining schedule quality under increasing complexity by updating more frequently, measuring against the plan, and addressing recovery needs before issues compound
Practical Takeaway: Leave with a clearer approach for building and maintaining mega project schedules that are detailed enough to support execution, frequent enough to stay accurate, and structured enough to hold teams accountabl
