Additionally, LaBella’s scheduling staff coordinates regularly with the client, project teams, and field personnel to actualize activities and milestones and ensure project schedules are current.
LaBella’s Project Controls personnel work to develop baseline schedules and budgets for all projects using MS Project or other client-provided scheduling platforms as needed. Careful analysis of project performance includes critical path, variance reporting, earned value management (EVM), cost performance index (CPI), and schedule performance index (SPI), as well as custom reporting designed to fit project needs.
