Five steps to a date you can defend.
Every engagement follows the same method, whether we join at the first baseline or the month the critical path breaks. You always know what we are doing, what you will receive and when.
The AdenTurton Method.
Five steps, each with deliverables you can hold us to.
Read
Contract, schedule, cost report and change log first. Opinions second. Then we tell you where the project really stands.
- Schedule health check
- Critical path read-out
- Top ten risks, ranked
Baseline
We build or rebuild the plan with real logic, honest durations and every owner milestone tied into the network.
- CPM baseline in P6 or MS Project
- WBS and cost codes
- Basis of schedule
Measure
Progress is validated against the field and the pay application, not reported by feel. Every update is tested.
- Monthly update and narrative
- SPI, CPI and earned schedule
- Change and delay log
Forecast
We run time and cost forward so leadership sees the likely finish and final cost while they can still change them.
- P50 and P80 finish dates
- Estimate at completion
- Contingency drawdown curve
Defend
We keep a record that holds up: what moved, when, why and who decided. Then we hand over a clean as-built.
- Time impact analyses
- As-built schedule
- Lessons learned and templates
Float is the owner’s money in disguise.
Every day of float the schedule burns without a decision is a day of contingency spent without a signature. The method exists to make those days visible while someone can still decide.
A steady beat the whole team keeps.
Controls only work when they run on a schedule of their own. This is the cadence we set on every engagement.
- Two-week look-aheadsCut from the master schedule, walked with the field and checked against what actually happened last period.
- Monthly updatesProgress, logic changes and critical path movement against the data date, with a short narrative that names causes.
- One-page executive reportFinish date, confidence level, cost forecast, top risks and the decisions leadership must make this month.
- Quarterly risk refreshThe register and Monte Carlo model are rerun, so the P80 date moves with the project, not with hope.
Tools we work in.
We work in your systems and deliver files your team keeps using after we leave.
Our default for large CPM schedules and programs. We read, check and deliver native XER files.
When your team or your contractor works in it, so do we. No forced conversions, no lost logic.
Schedule and cost risk models that turn a single date into P50, P80 and P90 outcomes.
Dashboards and cost models your finance team can open, audit and keep using after we leave.
Automated tests on logic, float, constraints and dates. A senior scheduler reads every result.
We set up and connect the systems that feed the schedule, so the numbers agree across every report.
Start with step one.
Send us your current schedule. We will tell you where it stands and what should happen next. A senior project controls lead replies within one business day.
