Dan has applied his knowledge of both project risk management and project scheduling more than any other individual in this area. He has created several step change products. Dan’s genuine interest puts him on a different level than other specialists.
I miss working with Dan. It was always an adventure. He is very driven individual whether it was around product quality/usability, consultancy delivery, marketing perception or just meeting new people. Few can tell it like it is the way he can.
Dan’s knowledge in project management, planning, risk and scheduling is vast and he is one of the thought leaders in the industry. He is also very knowledgeable among other things on civil engineering, construction, statistics, business, sales, marketing and software product management. Dan excels at applying his knowledge to solve complex problems with simple solutions.
Dan is extremely productive with his time and he is great at optimizing resources (i.e. people, money and time).
Dr.Dan Patterson has a high regard to contribute to the project control community in every way with his expertise and knowledge always willing to share.

"Pankow Scheduling Policy, Philosophy, Best Practices, & SureTrak" by Pete Oakander
"Schedulers vs. Planners There Is a Difference!" by Pete Oakander
Abstact: Yes there is a difference — a BIG difference — and yet, it could be argued that they are one in the same, however I won’t argue that point here because I want to stress the differences first, and then the similarities between the two disciplines. But first you need to understand that I am speaking for only the differences and similarities between the two as pertains to the construction industry
"Why Tasks Should be Banned from Project Scheduling Tools" by Dan Patterson
My best friend and I meet up once every year and we invariably end up chatting about our mutual passion for project planning. His view is a little extreme but one with enough merit to warrant discussion: “Ban activities and tasks from scheduling tools…” he says. For those of you who use scheduling tools such as MS Project or similar, you will know this is verging on project planning blasphemy.
