Industry Perspectives
“The intuitive format of a linear schedule helps us transform detailed CPM schedules from overwhelming to understanding.”
-Brian Ellingson, Schedule Engineering Supervisor at Sound Transit
“Linear scheduling provides a graphic display of how crews and equipment move through the project over time. This 1) helps contractors depict their plan to construct the work and 2) allows for constructability analysis of the schedule that may be lost by Gantt Chart review only.”
-Amy Heine, Principal at Hirschmugl, Heine & Associates
“Our linear schedule was extremely helpful on the floating bridge project. We used it to manage the job and communicate with the public.”
-Walter Tarr, Principal at Polaris Project Controls
