Schedule

Have you ever worked on a project where 100% of the time the projects had schedules that were kept updated; where at any time on any given day you could know the exact status on any project you choose, or of all the projects? No? That's the way it is for most people, but that's where Trimble Unity Construct can help.

A Programmatic Perspective

Trimble Unity Construct supports the different team members that are involved in the project. Using the Schedule module helps ease the hectic nature associated with managing large scale schedules across multiple projects. Trimble Unity Construct scheduling gives schedule managers and account administrators a single system that helps them coordinate various activities and people in order to actualize specific goals. Scheduling allows you to view the project at a high level and organize the details that need to be completed to ensure project success. Trimble Unity Construct's Schedule is ideal for owners, as well as developers, program managers, and construction managers managing multiple projects in various stages of development, from planning, through design, procurement and construction.

Schedule Management

The system allows team members to access and update the schedule in real time. This keeps all project participants and stakeholders up-to-date on all changes as they happen. And, as each individual team member marks their tasks complete on a project, the schedule is automatically updated and maintained, minimizing administrative work for the project manager. With up-to-date and accurate information at your fingertips, you will be able to make informed, faster decisions thereby improving the scheduling process and mitigating risk.

Identifying Critical Paths

As team members update their tasks, the system will calculate the durations of each of the paths through a project, identify the critical paths, and give the project duration. Trimble Unity Construct will help to ensure that the shortest path to complete the project is taken. This gives the project manager the ability to specify what must be done, and by when to ensure a successful project outcome.

About Schedule Settings

Configuring Schedule settings allow account administrators to set the framework for this module. Schedule settings consist of the following main tasks:

• Creating master tasks and master processes
• Setting up the schedule calendar
• Adding schedule custom fields
• Determine whether or not the baseline can be re-saved
• Determine whether or not the schedule will be linked to the project's start and end dates
• Create schedule templates
