Scheduling Best Practices

1

Build in Float Time

Add buffer time between critical tasks. Weather delays, material shortages, and inspection failures happen on every project.

2

Identify the Critical Path

Know which tasks directly affect your completion date. Focus resources and attention on keeping critical path tasks on schedule.

3

Update Weekly

Review and update your schedule every week. Track actual vs. planned progress and adjust future tasks accordingly.

4

Communicate Changes

When the schedule changes, notify all affected parties immediately. Surprises cause more problems than schedule slips.
