General planning comments and questions.
I'm supporting the free webinar on 8th March 2023 - an exciting Special Event to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the release of Earned Schedule (ES) onto the world stage.
As part of a 2023 project to look at the diverging legal approaches to assessing delay and disruption in projects, we’ve been busy updating out web pages:
Dispute Managementpage looks at contract dispute management from the perspective that preventing disputes is better than resolving disputes. But when a dispute arises you need to know how to respond effectively: https://mosaicprojects.com.au/PMKI-ITC-014.php

Delivering effective Expert Evidence is becoming harder, at least in the UK, Australia and most likely other Commonwealth jurisdictions. Traditionally the role of a Judge was to apply the law to the evidence presented by the parties to a dispute. In the case of expert evidence, this could include expert opinion, and where experts disagree, the Judge could choose one expert’s views over another, or combine the views. This approach seems to be changing with significant implications for the experts when preparing their reports and evidence.
Our latest blog post discussing a recent decision by the English and Wales High Court in Thomas Barnes & Sons PLC v Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council [2022] EWHC 2598 (TCC), may have clarified the UK approach to this contentious area of law but may also have moved the UK further from the USA approach.

DB = Design Build, can a DB submit a delay if they can't get agreement to what is designed for the budget?
Sorry, not a fan citrix based or pure cloud based P6 Professional or EPPM, or any cloud based service vs on your own machine. I could see if you never had to travel for your job and had the fasted connection. It is probably better for everyone except the user.
Our recently uploaded presentation ‘Scheduling Challenges in Horizontally Distributed Projects’ looks at the challenges of scheduling, managing, and claiming delays in, horizontally distributed projects. The presentation linked below is the start of a journey, we have a series of in-depth papers planned for 2023 - watch this space.
