For construction project delivery teams, the critical path schedule is both the map and the compass. It sets out the myriad of complex relationships that intertwine timelines, activities, and resources. It establishes the path to deliver the project on time and within budget.
Accurate, real-time cost tracking of capital projects may be understood and valued in theory. But, as we’ve seen with the slow technology adoption in the industry, that doesn’t necessarily translate into putting it into practice. When project costs aren’t closely managed, they’re more likely to spiral out of control and put projects squarely among scores of others like them: over budget and behind schedule.
