Free Webinar: Navigating the Unpredictable: Mastering Uncertainty in Project Controls

In the constant pursuit of delivering projects on time and under budget, managing uncertainty has grown more challenging. Whether it’s the impact of inflation on costs, potential weather delays, or shifts in materials availability, maintaining the delicate balance of scope, cost and schedule is vital for successful project controls. When one of these factors shifts, the others must adjust accordingly. How can we master this balance?

Join Brad Barth, Chief Product Officer and John Upton, Vice President of Control, at InEight as we explore the tools and techniques that integrate the three key aspects of scope, cost and schedule to optimize project controls, even in the face of the most daunting uncertainties.

Free Webinar: RP Spotlight - RP129R-03 Linear Scheduling Methods

Join AACE as we spotlight Recommended Practice (RP) 129R-03: Linear Scheduling Methods. Project planning and scheduling professionals use a variety of project scheduling methods depending on the type, size, and nature of projects. Linear scheduling methods (LSM) are typically used on projects wherein the majority of the scope is made up of highly repetitive work elements along a horizontal or vertical alignment. Examples of these projects include pipeline, tunnel, airport runway, highway, transmission line, road resurfacing, railroad, or high-rise construction projects. An LSM schedule (also known as a linear schedule, march chart, or time chainage diagram) is the graphical output of the LSM. Linear schedules use velocity diagrams, which are described below, to represent each activity and the progress rate to be achieved (or the progress actually achieved) over time. The schedule format typically provides planned and/or actual production rates on a time-scaled, linear format.
