Key Takeaways from the SmartPM CAB: Fall 2024

In our latest SmartPM CAB session, members explored strategies for today’s most pressing planning and scheduling challenges.

The 4 Best Methods of Construction Schedule Analysis

Regular construction schedule analysis gives stakeholders a clear view of progress, performance issues, delays, and potential future risks.

Top 3 Risks Impacting CPM Construction Schedule Quality

When issues like missing logic, long durations, and excessive constraints make their way into your project, it becomes harder to accurately track progress and predict future risk.

Schedule Update Frequency Continues to Rise in 2024

The average number of schedule updates per project has nearly doubled over the past two years, rising from 1.4 updates in March 2022 to 2.4 updates by May 2024.

10 Must-Haves in Your Scheduling SOP for Update Reviews

Setting up a step-by-step routine for schedule update reviews helps you understand what is happening now and what comes next on your project.

Schedule Update Reviews: 8 Hidden Indicators for Maintaining Data Integrity

While most people check schedule quality by looking at the single schedule being updated, true analysis isn’t complete until the next schedule shows up.

Construction Reporting: Custom, Consistent, and Automated

Each team within an organization requires specific and up-to-date performance indicators to keep everyone pulling in the same direction throughout the project lifecycle.

Defining Construction Schedule Controls

Schedule controls refer to the processes, tools, and practices used to analyze and share the data held within a CPM schedule to support project controls.

Making Construction Data Analytics Easier to Understand

Making sense of all of your data from all of your projects can feel like trying to understand a foreign language. But, when we break it down into steps, it starts to make a lot more sense.

Overcoming Confirmation Bias in Construction Project Management

Confirmation bias can be particularly problematic in project and schedule management, where decisions must be based on accurate and comprehensive information.

Top Construction Scheduling Software in 2023

SmartPM’s recognition as a top construction scheduling software in 2023 attests to the immense value in automated project controls.
