The construction team that was building a National Football League stadium hired us to help with an incredibly aggressive plan to renovate and expand the stadium in 20 months. Our role was to support the project’s scheduling and project management.
We didn’t panic, but we could’ve. With such a tight schedule, it was imperative that all the parties involved focus on the critical path. We met with the key players and identified what that critical path was and got buy-in from everyone to work toward those paths. We identified potential problems areas and worked through scenarios with the parties that would be most affected, to anticipate problems and develop solutions with project management teams. And lastly, we stayed vigilant with all parties to keep the project focus.
We met our deadline. The stadium project was completed in time for the team to lose its home opener.
