• Perform Earned Value Analysis and evaluate planned value, earned value, actual costs, schedule and cost performance, and forecast trends.
• Conduct routine schedule QA/QC reviews of logic, open ends, constraints, float, out-of-sequence progress, durations, calendars, coding, and compliance with standards.
• Provide schedule analysis and recommendations to project leadership on delays, resource constraints, sequencing issues, and milestone risks.
• Develop dashboards and management reports communicating schedule status, milestone performance, critical-path activities, schedule variance, cost trends, and forecast completion dates.
