Introduction to the schedule and stakeholders
Building a good relationship with the teams and stakeholders is crucial, as mutual trust leads to open communication and collaboration. In the initial phase, I ensure that I closely collaborate with the various teams, ask questions, and work alongside them to gain insight into the project’s approach. This allows me to use the schedule as a reliable steering tool that is supported by everyone.

Establishing structure in communication and progress
One of the biggest challenges in this project was that the schedule was not yet central in guiding the construction phase. My focus was on structuring communication and progress reports, making the status of the project clear to everyone involved. This not only improved transparency but also strengthened the collaboration between construction and planning. As a result, the schedule regained a central role in decision-making.

Planning with flexibility and insight into risks
In addition to regularly updating the schedule, I integrated a recurring risk analysis. This enabled us to proactively identify risks and create buffer space within the schedule. With this approach, we could not only closely monitor progress but also respond flexibly to unexpected changes, resulting in minimal delays and a smooth execution of the project.

A dynamic schedule focused on the future
As the project progressed, I integrated the schedule into the organizational and information structure. By developing scenarios based on risks and future uncertainties, the schedule evolved into a strategic tool. This approach allows us to manage the project not only in the short term but also to remain prepared for unpredictable, impactful circumstances. This resulted in greater control and flexibility, enabling the project to remain successful even in changing situations.
