Tried and True method of scheduling - AND ITS NOT HOW YOU THINK IT WORKS This daily management discipline is what separates successful projects from chaotic ones! The 15-minute daily review is specific and substantial enough to actually catch issues before they become problems. *Key insights from your approach:* - *Communication as stress relief* - when people are well-informed, they stop worrying and interrupting - *Daily rhythm* - consistent review prevents small issues from becoming big crises - *Forward-looking* - anticipating rather than just reacting This is a really practical, human-centered approach to project scheduling and works off 4 Processes. i.e. *Process Step 1:* Schedule the things that keep your project alive - Trades, Materials, Skills, Safety *Process Step 2:* You get lit up by your project - The fun stuff - creativity, shopping, designing - Schedule these around/between the "keeps alive" items in Step 1. *Process Step 3:* Things you've given your word to deliver to other people - Milestones, meetings, walkthroughs, visits - It may seem counter-intuitive, but believe me it works to schedule these LAST, not first. *Process Step 4:* Manage, Monitor & Maintain - *Monitor* the schedule actively - *Build in flexibility* to adapt as needed - *Communicate* enough so stakeholders don't have to worry about it - *Daily review* - 15 minutes every day - *Look ahead* to anticipate and adjust

Feel free to join us every week or simply submit Q's for our A's The last few questions were excellent. Something we deal with everyday as a Project Manager on construction sites. 1. How do we know when a trade has finished their work? 2a). What do you do to make sure the job has been quality checked? 2b). What do you suggest I do when I need to get them to come back to finish off a job? 3. I'm tired of cleaning up all the time, how can I get the trades to clean up after themselves? Thankyou for sending these questions in. How would you deal with each of them. Video responses will be available soon. :-)

We're all guilty of it. We have a cool project that we didn't get done. We start a project with the best intentions and then we get distracted. And we avoid the conversations ... how are you going with... <insert unfinished project>. I failed because I didn't finish and gave up.

Welcome, this is my first post in our new community. We can feel alone on our construction project site. That can mean we aren't heard or we have confidence issues. At Building Project Women, we work on the trilogy of project success. Confidence, Communication and Construction. We all start at a different stage and by building on the 3 C's we level up our construction project management kudos. Let's break some ice, Please introduce yourself and share who your favourite superhero is. I can't wait to meet them (and you).
