Collaborative risk mitigation through construction planning and scheduling

by Lana Kay Coble

To determine if Collaborative risk mitigation through construction planning and scheduling has value for you, first and foremost it’s important to understand what is not included in the pages to come. Specifically excluded are:
• instructions on how to utilize scheduling software,
• basic fundamentals and definitions of project scheduling, and
• historical reference to the development of critical path scheduling.
There are a multitude of publications which explain the techniques of schedule creation inclusive of logic, activity parameters, and critical path calculations.

Collaborative risk mitigation through construction planning and scheduling: While it is beneficial to the reader to understand the fundamentals of project scheduling, this knowledge is not required to enhance schedule management.

Collaborative risk mitigation through construction planning and scheduling does not address how to implement software for schedule documentation, as Primavera and Microsoft Project primers are commonly available.

While it is important to understand the origination of any process to be learned in that field, there are many textbooks which illuminate critical path scheduling.

With that said, students, schedulers, and academicians may assume that this book holds little value, however the author believes the case is to the contrary.

Concepts and practices listed below will demonstrate the value of this work for a breadth of construction management members ranging from students, schedulers, owners, architects, engineers, and contractors.
