“My objective is to preserve the initial schedule but also to be able to change to a parallel schedule which allows for adjustments where required and, if so, to discuss with those affected.”
Integrated planning
Connect your project schedules. Align better.
Are you struggling to coordinate your project across different schedules in different areas:
- Master programme
- Short-term schedule
- Procurement plan
- Prefab plan… ?
What if you could connect them all and instantly see the impact of connected events? We call that integrated planning.
One project, too many disconnected schedules
Have you ever had materials arrive on site and realised that the job they were for had been delayed? What happened to those materials? Did they disappear or get damaged before the workers were ready to use them? What did that cost?
Each project has many schedules, created and updated by different people in different tools: Excel, MS Project, whiteboards, paper…). The ability to spot where changes to one schedule affect another is key to the success of a project. But that can be near impossible when those tools don’t “talk” to each other.
What if you could…
Have everyone share their schedules?
What if each team could easily share their own schedule, in real time, to avoid the mess of sending outdated and disconnected schedules by email? The same way you currently do it with your drawings and Dropbox / Google Drive / OneDrive. That is what Cloud-based collaboration software does for you.
Be aligned across all teams?
What if you and your teams could now be better aligned around a ‘live’ project status, save valuable hours of admin work and run far more efficient weekly meetings so you could focus on making the right decisions and keeping people accountable?
Highlight the impact of connected events?
What if you could now connect these schedules in the Cloud to benefit from a centralised view of progress on cascaded tasks, on-site blockers or material delivery issues – and immediately see their impact on your master programme and its completion?
NEW
Introducing Integrated planning
With this capability, you are now able to synchronise all your different project schedules and see how they impact each other in real time.

What project managers are saying:
*based on our Construction Project Execution Survey 2020
“We’re using a mixture of systems which not all members have access to, so far too often we rely on printed or written versions where info can be lost.”
“Most short-term issues are still answered either by phone calls or email. The comparison / overlay between the original time schedule and a new time schedule is time consuming, sites need immediate input.”
