Who this is for

Schedulers, project controls staff, claims analysts and consultants on public and large private projects. Every example follows Karim, a licensed engineer and certified scheduling professional at a Los Angeles consultancy, fifteen years of schedule reviews and delay claims on public works.

You will be able to

• Read a P6 export and get the longest path, the near-critical band and what only P6 can answer
• Compare a baseline and an update into a change register and a float erosion table
• Write the monthly narrative the owner accepts, with the reservation paragraph that holds
• Build a fragnet and a time-impact narrative without letting Claude produce the day count
• Assemble entitlement, causation and quantum with every clause verified against the page
• Run the month on routines and grade one delay end to end against a rubric

8. 8 Research and precedentResearch mode on agency specifications and published analysis guidance, sources kept and dated, with the line where research stops and counsel starts. Later
