The Challenges of Improving Predictable Outcomes

Engineering and construction projects are plagued by systemic coordination and communication hurdles. Owners are challenged with aligning and incentivizing multiple organizations towards specific milestones, goals, and objectives. In addition, owners know their data interests go far beyond project selection and management. Owners’ developed assets must be cared for and maintained long after their project delivery partners have progressed to the next job.

A lack of standard and centralized project and portfolio management impairs optimization, yields inconsistent planning and scheduling processes, limits collaboration, impedes progress tracking, and weakens risk management. Moreover, the inability to synchronize schedule data and processes restricts efforts to unlocking predictive intelligence - when and where it is needed - to improve decision-making.

These factors all increase the likelihood of unpredictable outcomes, unwanted risk exposures, and operational deficiencies that uniquely impact how owners plan, build, and operate their assets.

Planning, Scheduling, and Resource Management

Planning, scheduling, and resource management is the heartbeat of project or program delivery. A well-developed and collaboratively built schedule helps coordinate office and field teams to provide fully synchronized execution plans. Easily maintain the vital connection between the contractual critical path method (CPM) schedule and the field’s task management detail. Use digitized planning and execution boards to unite and focus teams around milestones, deliverables, and productivity in one integrated solution.
