Project Initiation
Within development scheduling, there are two primary approaches: critical path and critical chain. The critical path approach focuses on identifying the shortest time required to complete all activities in a logical order. This is determined by analyzing the dependencies between activities and their durations. Critical path analysis is performed using desktop scheduling software and helps project professionals understand the project’s overall duration and critical activities.
The critical chain approach takes a resource-based approach to scheduling. It aims to protect critical chains of activities by incorporating buffers and avoiding common working practices like multitasking and delayed starts. This approach ensures that resources are utilized efficiently and that time-sensitive projects stay on track.
The value that GIA brings to projects and companies through development scheduling is significant. Scheduling techniques allows us to create realistic and achievable project timelines and by accurately forecasting start and finish dates, we help lenders, contractors and clients plan and allocate resources effectively, reducing the risk of delays and cost overruns.
