Jean-Pierre PAYRE: Senior project manager – Project management consultant, Grenoble, France
INTRODUCTION
Managing a project is a complex undertaking that requires the skills of the team, and in particular the project planner, to avoid schedule slippage.
The integration of a competent, communicative project planner as co-pilot to the project manager will enable the construction of a robust schedule, periodic monitoring and action plans during the course of the project to deal with unavoidable disruptions.
This fact sheet will look at the various causes and ways of anticipating to avoid or limit these discrepancies, which always have harmful consequences, on costs and on the image given to the customer and to the stakeholders of the project team and the contracting company.
