In this episode we dive into Change Management
The Challenge
You're six months into a billion dollar project. Change orders are stacking up. Your schedule is morphing weekly. The owner wants a meeting. And you're buried in spreadsheets trying to figure out what changed, when it changed, and who changed it. Sound familiar? This is the reality for most construction schedulers. Schedule change management shows up as the leading cause of construction disputes every single year, costing teams millions. But here's the thing. The best schedulers don't run from change. They use it to their advantage. In this week's Beyond Deadlines podcast episode, we break down exactly how to manage schedule change like a pro.

In this episode we dive into Schedule Health
The Challenge
You’re handed a live project and a plan that “passes DCMA,” yet dates keep slipping and no one trusts the critical path. On this episode of Beyond Deadlines, we tackle the core challenge: what “schedule health” really means and how to use it to drive real predictability.
We discuss why a schedule is more than a spreadsheet of tasks, it’s an algorithm that models intent and execution and how the best schedulers blend data checks with field truth to build trust and precision in project delivery.

In this episode we dive into Building a Construction Portfolio Schedule.
The Challenge
Construction organizations often juggle dozens or thousands of projects at once, but few have a unified way to see the big picture. How do you align every project, extract consistent insights, and keep reports automated across a global portfolio?
In this episode of Beyond Deadlines, I shared how to design and manage a construction portfolio schedule that actually works. Whether you’re coordinating $50 million or $5 billion worth of projects. I broke it down into six steps that have helped me align teams and data at global scale.

In this episode we dive into random topics.
The ChallengeYou’re at a social event. Someone asks, “So what do you do?” Try explaining construction scheduling without losing them in 10 seconds. That’s harder than it sounds. On this episode we wrestle with that exact problem. Along the way, they dive into AI’s growing role in project controls, shifting attitudes toward risk analysis, and even the million-dollar jobs emerging in construction tech.

In this episode we dive into Greg's new Book the Physics of Project Acceleration.
The Challenge
There are 8 types of project acceleration.And 33 techniques to make them real.
Most teams only think “crash the path” or “work weekends.” But acceleration isn’t about brute force. It’s about changing the model first—then making it real.
Greg Lawton’s new book The Physics of Project Acceleration shows how. One equation. 33 tactics. Some cost, some save, some shift risk. The real constraint isn’t math—it’s contracts, culture, and trade handoffs.
My favorite: the Long-Tail Slicing Sprint. In half a day, you break down the 20 riskiest tasks, tighten handoffs, and prove the gains with Monte Carlo. You don’t just go faster—you remove the variance that keeps you slow.
When leadership says “pull the date forward,” will you reach for overtime—or a playbook?

The Challenge
A midsize general contractor asks, “Can you build a rock-solid, repeatable schedule-progressing program across every one of our projects?” They juggle different superintendents, uneven data, and scattered PDFs. They want one standard and a clear path to improve it. On the hot seat: Miles Haynes , Senior Scheduler at Oakland Construction and creator of Stride Schedule .
Stride replaces those smudged PDFs with a browser-based interface that mirrors the familiar P6 layout, lets supers tap actual dates on the fly, and feeds a clean XML back to the master schedule, no late-night data entry, no guesswork.
Click here to update you construction schedule in minutes with Stride.

In this episode we dive into quantum mechanics.
The ChallengeWhat if the biggest problem in construction scheduling isn't bad data or missed deadlines but the very math we use to create schedules?
In this episode of Beyond Deadlines, I sat down with my cohost Greg Lawton , CEO of Nodes & Links, to unpack his wild theory that quantum mechanics (yes, the stuff behind particle physics) might hold the answer to fixing the broken logic in how we schedule mega projects. Together, we challenge the 70 year old foundation of the Critical Path Method and ask: is it time for something radically different?

In this episode we dive into scheduling cheat codes.
The Challenge
Schedulers often struggle to make their voices heard. Too often, they are seen as mere status reporters rather than strategic decision-makers. But what if your schedule could drive project success, align incentives, and make scheduling an indispensable tool across the organization? In this episode of Beyond Deadlines, I sat down with Josh Wollan , Director of Project Controls Scheduling at Zachry Construction Corporation, to discuss cheat codes for optimizing schedules and making them a true driver of business outcomes.

You’re a VP overseeing multiple projects, and no matter how well things start, they always seem to fall apart near the finish line. Despite detailed planning and scheduling, everything looks good—until the final stretch. Suddenly, tasks stack up, trades collide, and deadlines slip. You’ve noticed this trend across your portfolio and need a way to get ahead of the problem. This episode of Beyond Deadlines features Michael Pink , CEO of SmartPM Technologies, Inc., as we break down schedule compression and how to use it as a proactive tool instead of a reactionary fire drill.

In this episode we dive into Earned Value Management
The Challenge
Earned Value Management (EVM) is one of the most powerful tools in project controls. But let’s be honest—mention EVM in a meeting, and half the room runs for the hills. The challenge? Taking an organization unfamiliar with EVM and implementing it in a way that actually adds value instead of turning into a compliance-driven headache.
In this episode of Beyond Deadlines, I sat down with Chris Mikec, Project Controls Manager, and Frank Casertano, Scheduling Manager, both from Lighthouse Electric. They shared their experience working with a general contractor (GC) to roll out EVM across an entire program. Their insights are a must-read for anyone looking to make EVM work in the real world.

In this episode we dive into schedule contingency.
The Challenge
Imagine you’re tasked with setting up a contingency program for a large general contractor. Your project teams insist that the schedule they’ve built is already optimized. Owners push back, claiming that adding time means losing bids. And project directors worry that contingency will be used as a crutch instead of a strategic tool. The challenge? Convincing stakeholders that contingency isn’t just extra time—it’s the key to delivering projects successfully in a world where the unexpected is inevitable.
We're joined this week by Noah Aronson, PSP, LEED AP Scheduling Manager at Holder Construction who tackles this challenge head on.

In this episode we dive into working with challenging owners.
The ChallengeImagine this: You're deep into a project when the owner hands full planning and scheduling oversight to a third-party consultant. Suddenly, you're facing schedule reviews, DCMA checks, and an endless back-and-forth. The owner trusts the consultant’s opinion more than your expertise, and every update turns into a battle. How do you turn that conflict into collaboration without losing control of your schedule? We're join this week by Scott Carrico.
