Microsoft Project Office

BL Winchester Ltd planners/schedulers use Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007. Its robust usability, power and flexibility allow us to manage schedules efficiently and effectively. We can work either with your software and data or operate independently. 
 
How we support the Project/Program Manager is dictated by the client, initially though by organising and thinking through the details of the project. Schedule deadlines that must be met, ensuring tasks are in the correct sequence and assign the appropriate resources and costs around availability.
 
Subsequently, fine tune the plan to satisfy time and budget constraints or accommodate changes. Analyse cash flow and resource usage and if necessary consolidate with other projects into a portfolio plan for business assessment. Prepare scheduling reports for stakeholders to review.
 
Once the project begins the scheduler/planner tracks progression by gathering progress from resources on what has been accomplished and what is yet to be done.   

Then, analyse the evolving schedule to check that it will finish on time and cost. Revise the schedule for changes and unforeseen circumstances. Carry out what - if analysis before making modifications. Risks and opportunities in time, resources and costs are assessed at this time. Communicate with team members who are affected by changes. Post various progress reports as required by the business rhythm. Some of the reports available can be seen below.

Our planners/schedulers utilize electronic communication giving clients the most cost effective solution to virtual scheduling and planning. Industries have been extremely successful using WebEx teleconferencing for schedule reviews throughout the world.

We can bring the customer, contractor, suppliers, engineers, specialists and scheduler together simultaneously for schedule development and review meetings with each member in their own office, reducing time and costs. If required we will work directly with stakeholders to develop a practical and manageable schedule that give all the opportunity to succeed.
