In this episode we dive into quantum mechanics.

The ChallengeWhat if the biggest problem in construction scheduling isn't bad data or missed deadlines but the very math we use to create schedules?

In this episode of Beyond Deadlines, I sat down with my cohost Greg Lawton , CEO of Nodes & Links, to unpack his wild theory that quantum mechanics (yes, the stuff behind particle physics) might hold the answer to fixing the broken logic in how we schedule mega projects. Together, we challenge the 70 year old foundation of the Critical Path Method and ask: is it time for something radically different?

In this episode we dive into scheduling cheat codes.

The Challenge

Schedulers often struggle to make their voices heard. Too often, they are seen as mere status reporters rather than strategic decision-makers. But what if your schedule could drive project success, align incentives, and make scheduling an indispensable tool across the organization? In this episode of Beyond Deadlines, I sat down with Josh Wollan , Director of Project Controls Scheduling at Zachry Construction Corporation, to discuss cheat codes for optimizing schedules and making them a true driver of business outcomes.

You’re a VP overseeing multiple projects, and no matter how well things start, they always seem to fall apart near the finish line. Despite detailed planning and scheduling, everything looks good—until the final stretch. Suddenly, tasks stack up, trades collide, and deadlines slip. You’ve noticed this trend across your portfolio and need a way to get ahead of the problem. This episode of Beyond Deadlines features Michael Pink , CEO of SmartPM Technologies, Inc., as we break down schedule compression and how to use it as a proactive tool instead of a reactionary fire drill.

In this episode we dive into Earned Value Management

The Challenge

Earned Value Management (EVM) is one of the most powerful tools in project controls. But let’s be honest—mention EVM in a meeting, and half the room runs for the hills. The challenge? Taking an organization unfamiliar with EVM and implementing it in a way that actually adds value instead of turning into a compliance-driven headache.

In this episode of Beyond Deadlines, I sat down with Chris Mikec, Project Controls Manager, and Frank Casertano, Scheduling Manager, both from Lighthouse Electric. They shared their experience working with a general contractor (GC) to roll out EVM across an entire program. Their insights are a must-read for anyone looking to make EVM work in the real world.

In this episode we dive into schedule contingency.

The Challenge

Imagine you’re tasked with setting up a contingency program for a large general contractor. Your project teams insist that the schedule they’ve built is already optimized. Owners push back, claiming that adding time means losing bids. And project directors worry that contingency will be used as a crutch instead of a strategic tool. The challenge? Convincing stakeholders that contingency isn’t just extra time—it’s the key to delivering projects successfully in a world where the unexpected is inevitable.

We're joined this week by Noah Aronson, PSP, LEED AP Scheduling Manager at Holder Construction who tackles this challenge head on.

In this episode we dive into working with challenging owners.

The ChallengeImagine this: You're deep into a project when the owner hands full planning and scheduling oversight to a third-party consultant. Suddenly, you're facing schedule reviews, DCMA checks, and an endless back-and-forth. The owner trusts the consultant’s opinion more than your expertise, and every update turns into a battle. How do you turn that conflict into collaboration without losing control of your schedule? We're join this week by Scott Carrico.

In this episode we dive into Predictable vs Agile.

The ChallengeIn this episode, we are joined by Georgia Stilwell, Director of Client Solutions at Alice, and we debate whether construction projects should prioritize a predictable schedule or embrace an agile, adaptive approach to planning. We explore the benefits, challenges, and cultural shifts needed to implement anti-fragile scheduling in the industry.
