Project Execution:
Collect progress status from client, engineering, operations, suppliers, and third party entities Assist the technical team with internal schedules to control and monitor key tasks. Prepare forecast schedules based on actual project status and anticipated evolution Track the internal and external milestones versus the contract, target, and previous forecast Update progress curves using both earned and remaining (forecast) values Analyze critical path(s), schedule variances, progress trends, and resource allocation Develop and implement solutions / mitigation strategies for identified critical scenarios / problems Communicate status and analysis to project team via schedule layouts, written narrative, and briefings Assist in the preparation of weekly and monthly reports Keep a record of changes to the schedules via backup copy and "Maintain Baseline" function in P6 Update the Bases of Schedule, including mitigation actions taken in the monthly update
