Modernizing the Critical Path Method for Better Construction Scheduling

The traditional critical path method (CPM) isn’t obsolete—but it does need to evolve. In this video, Nate St. John, Vice President of Schedule & Risk at InEight, explains why modern construction scheduling requires a more accessible, streamlined approach. 

While CPM remains a foundational scheduling method, its effectiveness depends on the quality of the inputs behind it. Complex tools and processes can limit participation and reduce the accuracy of project schedules. 

By simplifying scheduling workflows and making tools more accessible to stakeholders, teams can focus less on managing software and more on solving real project challenges. This shift helps improve collaboration, increase schedule reliability, and drive better outcomes across construction projects.
