Taking the Complexity Out of Quantitative Risk Assessment

When thinking about your latest capital project, many questions naturally arise. What if the steel supplier can’t deliver on time? What if engineering doesn’t approve design submissions in three iterations and instead takes eight? How will a supply...

Filling CPM Gaps With Knowledge-Driven Planning

When it comes to a successful construction project, it’s all in the planning. Defaulting to traditional critical path method (CPM), may, on its own, leave you falling short of your strongest plan. But by using construction planning software that joins the power of augmented intelligence (AI) with knowledge-driven planning, you can fill in any gaps […]

Do You Need to Rethink Your Approach to Construction Planning Software?

There are likely multiple projects, overlapping phases, several job sites, and a growing number of subcontractors, craftspeople and equipment to […]

Today, nearly every capital project uses the critical path method (CPM) for planning. This traditional method, however, has earned a less than stellar reputation for accuracy. This can leave projects failing not because of poor execution, but because the plan was likely overly optimistic or aggressive. Fortunately, there is a better way. Thanks to emerging […]

Only a few years ago, the term augmented intelligence (AI) was pretty much unheard of on capital projects. Today, however, it’s almost impossible not to hear about how it is changing the way we work. What seemed like a bold prediction at the time in the field of planning and scheduling has become the new […]

Breaking Down Risk Management Silos

While many planners and schedulers account for risk up front, they fail to perform iterative risk analysis during the execution phase of a project due to a belief that it’s too complex to integrate into daily activities. But what if I told you that in today’s world, ongoing risk analysis and mitigation don’t need to […]
