Regularly updating a project schedule is crucial for project controls and record-keeping practices in construction projects. A project never generally follows the baseline plan exactly throughout its lifecycle. Here are some of the main reasons to regularly update programs: 1. Current Information, Clarity and Transparency: An updated schedule provides all stakeholders with the most recent information, reducing misunderstandings and miscommunications about project timelines and progress. It sets clear expectations regarding deadlines, responsibilities, and milestones. 2. Improved Coordination: Regular updates allow for better coordination of resources, ensuring that labour, materials, and equipment are available as needed, which reduces conflicts over resource allocation. 3. Proactive Risk Management: By updating the schedule, potential delays can be identified early, allowing for proactive measures to mitigate them before they become significant issues. 4. Evidence-based Communication: Sharing schedule updates with stakeholders enhances open communication; It ensures everyone is on the same page and aware of any changes or adjustments. 5. Accountability and Responsibility: An updated schedule provides a clear record of progress, making it easier to hold parties accountable for their responsibilities and reducing disputes over who is responsible for delays or issues. 6. Accommodating Changes: Updates make it easier to accommodate changes in project scope or conditions, reducing conflicts that can arise from outdated schedules. Finally, and importantly, in undertaking delay analysis, regular schedule updates support retrospective or prospective delay analysis methods. #Construction #Delayclaims #Projectcontrols
