    Resource and Cost Load Your Schedule

    Create resources and roles, assign budgeted units and costs, apply cost accounts and resource curves, and produce a fully cost-loaded schedule and S-curve for integrated project controls.

    Baseline and Track Real Progress

    Set the project baseline, advance the data date, update activities using physical percent complete and actual dates, and analyse start, finish and cost variance against plan.

    Report Earned Value and Performance

    Generate BCWS, BCWP and ACWP from P6 and calculate SPI, CPI, EAC and TCPI, then present earned value S-curves and reports that contracts and leadership teams rely on.

    Compare Schedules and Analyse Change

    Manage multiple baselines, use Claim Digger to document every change between updates, run structured variance analysis and support time impact analysis for extension-of-time claims.
