For the scheduler who builds the monthly update
From field progress to a reviewed update, narrative and delay analysis, in one cycle.
Five steps on the Flowchart, in order. Marking a step done opens the next, and the next period starts when the update is published.
The Five Steps
One update, from the field to the record.
- 01
Field Team
Field Capture
The field enters progress in the Schedule Updater by the due date. Send Final Update to Scheduler locks the period and emails the .XER to your controllers.
- 02
Scheduler
Add Fragnets
Your scheduler adds the period's impacts in P7, each under its own sub-WBS of a Time Impact WBS: weather days, RFIs, addenda, change orders and force majeure.
- 03
Scheduler
Health Check
Drop the file on the Flowchart. Pathizer scores it as the next update and lists every DCMA check with the activities it flags. You decide the fixes in P7.
- 04
Field Team + Scheduler
Review Meeting
Walk the float paths and the new impacts with the team, in P7, on the schedule you are about to publish.
- 05
Scheduler
Publish
Publish the checked file. The analysis starts by itself: narrative, update reports, and the delay analysis for every phase milestone.
The Record
Each cycle adds to the schedule record.
Every published update adds to the record the delay analysis reads, each run kept on an append-only ledger with who ran it and when.
Publish to filed reports: a median of 21 minutes across 35 production analysis runs between 15 October and 6 November 2026; 90% finished within 34 minutes.
