Committed to improving his practice, Rob has continued to study project management. In 2007, he discovered Earned Schedule, and in 2014, he became an Agile Scrum Master. As Rob’s practice focuses on time-critical projects, he’s had plenty of opportunity to use both techniques.

During his studies, Rob worked out the math for combining Earned Schedule and Agile. He adapted the techniques to one another and iteratively implemented and upgraded the approach. Rob shares his knowledge and experience through a blog (earnedscheduleexchange.com), vlog (earnedscheduleacademy.com), professional journals, and, increasingly, through posts on LinkedIn groups, hashtags, and his company site.

The current demands within Defence and in projects generally includes demands to deliver “capability at speed” which is placing increased demands on project schedule analysis, the need to adjust traditional methodologies and the ability to be able to:

• Identify activities and work packages that are deviating from plan early so that action can be taken to correct before the schedule has been irreversibly compromised.
• Calculate the future schedule efficiency required to achieve the target outcome of on time delivery.
• Recognise when a current delivery strategy cannot achieve the required schedule outcome to enable “Agile” adjustments to the delivery strategy so that outcomes which meet user needs on a timely basis can be achieved.

Since Earned Schedule was first published in 2003 ,it has developed into a powerful add-on to network schedule analysis which answers the needs described above all of which provides project teams “actionable information” to assist in the never‑ending challenge of delivering useful capabilities either on, or as close to schedule as circumstances permit.

This presentation provides a case study example demonstrates how earned schedule provides powerful new dimensions to project schedule analysis which can be actively used to assist in achieve improved schedule delivery outcomes for projects of all sizes from the small and simple to the largest and most complex.

This webinar will provide an overview of performance based contracting.  We will explore the types of performance measures, how they are used and what is important to consider if you are plan to use a performance management framework in your arrangement with suppliers.
