Organizing your Schedule as a Defense Tool
SLIDE 5
Question…
When should you document a delay in the schedule? As soon as you realize there’s an impact

Use the Notebook
SLIDE 9 How do you Mitigate Delays?
- Watch for trends with trouble subs
- Always document the delay first
- Understand the impacts and who’s
responsible
- Make a copy of the schedule
- Prepare acceleration options

- Open communication between Scheduler and
Project Team
- Information that the Scheduler needs
- Death by 1,000 cuts / Measles
Steps to Maintain Documentation
SLIDE 22
Open Communication
The project team needs to let the Scheduler know of all major changes if there is a potential for schedule impact
SLIDE 23 Information the Scheduler Needs
- What’s the trigger?
- Date any
documentation was issued (RFI, ASI, etc.)

IMPACT ANALYSIS
SLIDE 28 GRANITE MOUNTAIN Impa pacts S Suc uccess essful ully O Over ercome Thr hroughout t the P he Projec ect
- Power Pole – The power pole supplying the main power to the existing building was replaced with a below-grade power feed.
- Rock Slide – Boulders sheared off the face of the mountain landing where the new building needed to be built.
- Asbestos – The asbestos survey was found to be inaccurate causing a large amount of additional asbestos to require abatement
- Lead Paint – The hazardous material survey was found to be inaccurate requiring additional lead paint to require abatement
- Existing Operations – Employees were much more sensitive to dust, noise, and odors than expected.
- Ground Rock – The soils report indicated that below-grade rock should not have been as large an impact as it was.
- Avalanches – Snow and ice slide threats were not expected to impact the project as much as they did.
- Rock Pinning and Analysis – The need to pin rock and analyze the threats to safety were not expected.
- Winter – The project was originally expected to span one winter, but was required to span two.
