Looking to measure the impact of 4D on your projects? Mortenson Construction, an advanced Synchro user, will be publishing a report in the next couple weeks about how they solved the usual problems... | | The report will detail how they have leveraged VDC (Virtual Design and Construction) to design, plan and build higher quality facilities while reducing costs, improving safety and strengthening relationships with their customers. "Mortenson has found that certain activities and project characteristics are key performance indicators of a robust VDC investment. The presence of these indicators on a project has proved to be a reliable way to predict a positive return on the investment made in the VDC process." To request a copy of the report visit: http://www.mortenson.com/vdc-report I am sure you will find this report full of insights. Sincerely, Sue Dengenis |

GPM & The Future of Project Planning With the advent of personal computers in the mid-1980s, people enthusiastically embraced computer and software-based planning and scheduling practices.

New, data-driven methods replaced graphical representations with sophisticated software scheduling engines, reversing the long-time credo of scheduling from “Logic rules, dates serve,” to “Dates rule, logic serves.” In this new mindset, schedulers became more focused on hitting each deadline or milestone, and logic quickly became a secondary thought.
