The Critical Path is a comprehensive blueprint for any given project, encompassing staffing, dependencies, critical activities, critical resources, critical paths, and the likelihood of project delivery. Without this insight, it’s impossible to stay ahead and provide effective project assistance. We can review the foundation of any project, identify critical activities (chains of activities) and resources, and provide a probability of meeting the project’s budget and schedule.
If the following information is not available, we will collaborate with the responsible parties to obtain it:
- 3-point estimates per activity
- Dependencies between activities
- Allocated resources per activity
- Price per resource
- Fixed cost per activity
We now have the capability to statistically analyze resource allocation, perform resource leveling, work with constrained resources, or view resource types across projects or sub-projects.
We can provide insights into the probability of the project meeting its planned delivery time, identify where critical activities lie within the plan (there are likely multiple critical paths), and optimize costs to ensure that the flow of activities aligns optimally with payments and overall project liquidity.
Best of all, we can discuss critical activities, critical paths, and critical resources, and make adjustments to the plan to maximize the utilization of degrees of freedom, reduce variances, and increase the likelihood of meeting the plan.
We can offer this service because we have developed a statistically-based analysis tool, coupled with extensive experience in the fundamentals of project execution, including a deep understanding of the practices required for project success.
