Ongoing Monthly Schedule Review
Send us the baseline and each recurring update. We keep the schedule history and
review each update, saving your team from rebuilding the analysis every month.
Depending on the project, the review can include
- Changes to activities, logic, calendars, and durations
- Critical and longest paths, milestones, and float
- Progress, actual dates, and completion forecasts
- Schedule quality, emerging risks, and recovery concerns
- Written findings and questions for the project team
- Schedule review meetings and follow-up
The recurring reviews provide a consistent review process and a cumulative project schedule history for subsequent reviews.
Good fit when: your team needs consistent monthly oversight and a reliable record of schedule changes.

Turnkey Schedule Support
A dedicated schedule review resource from baseline through project completion.
We coordinate recurring reviews, track open issues, and support schedule discussions.
We agree on the scope around the contract and your team's responsibilities.
Support can include
- Baseline and update reviews
- Contract-specific schedule requirement checks
- Project schedule history and open-issue tracking
- Monthly summaries and schedule meeting support
- Recovery schedules and time impact analysis (TIA) review
- Delay-event analysis and support for escalated issues
This can be structured as recurring monthly support or a project-specific assignment.
Good fit when: you need one review resource throughout the project to support limited or overloaded staff.
Talk About Project Support
When the issue is already more complicated
Time extensions, time impact analyses & delay issues
Sometimes the question is no longer simply whether the monthly update is acceptable.
For schedule impacts, time-extension requests, recovery plans, or delay disputes, we
can review the schedule history alongside the relevant project records. We help
organize the schedule evidence you need to examine the issue.
Causation, concurrency, entitlement, and responsibility depend on the contract and supporting project
records. They require professional analysis rather than an automated software conclusion.
Depending on the assignment, that may include
- Time impact analysis (TIA) review
- Changes to driving paths, milestones, logic, and durations
- Schedule history and delay-event chronology
- Recovery and mitigation review
- Support for technical responses and discussions

Getting started
What we need to get started
For a typical review, start with the files you already have.
Usually
- Current Primavera P6 XER
- Prior update or baseline, when applicable
- Schedule narrative
- Relevant scheduling specification or contract requirements
For a delay, recovery, or time-extension issue
We may also request the relevant correspondence, change documentation, daily records, or other project information.
You do not need to organize everything before contacting us. Tell us what problem you are trying to solve first.
How it works
From first message to findings you can use
-
1
Tell us what you need
One difficult update, a baseline review, recurring monthly support, or a specific delay issue.
-

We confirm the review questions, deliverables, timing, and fees, then arrange the files needed for the assignment.
-

We perform the review
The analysis combines experienced schedule review with the project history and supporting data needed to understand the issue.

Get findings you can use
Depending on the scope, that may be a focused findings list, review memorandum, recurring monthly review, issue log, meeting support, or more detailed schedule analysis.
If the need continues, the same project record carries forward into the next review cycle.
Schedule Tracker access can be included at no additional charge
For ongoing assignments, your project team can view the same schedule history, comparisons, milestones,
paths, trends, and supporting reports whenever useful. Use it as much or as little as you want.
The human review is the service.
Supported by Schedule Tracker
We use Schedule Tracker in our reviews. The Primavera P6 analysis
platform was built to reduce repetitive work in schedule review and update comparison.
You do not need to learn or operate the software to use our review service.
Background
Built from real schedule review work
Schedule Tracker was conceived by Alexandra Kay, PE, CCM, MBA, a Professional Engineer and
former senior Primavera P6 scheduler with experience in construction management, scheduling, budgeting,
cost control, claims, and time-impact analysis on major construction projects.
The platform began as an internal tool for repetitive schedule and delay analysis work.
Refined through use and feedback from teams on roadway, bridge, and other complex
infrastructure projects, it helps you compare successive updates and identify developing
delays. Keep the schedule evidence organized for claims and time-extension reviews.
Schedule Tracker has been developed and refined with project teams since 2017.
