Project Planning

Creating the Roadmap for Successful Project Delivery

Effective project planning is more than developing a programme. It provides the framework through which scope, sequence, resources, interfaces and key milestones are understood, communicated and managed.

At Pinnacle Planning & Forensics, we develop robust, logic-driven programmes that reflect how projects are intended to be delivered.

Drawing from extensive project delivery experience, we work collaboratively with project teams to develop programmes that are credible, achievable and capable of being used as effective management tools throughout the project lifecycle.

Robust. Logic-driven. Practical. Programmes developed to support project delivery and informed decision-making.

What We
Deliver

Our planning services support projects from tender and pre-construction through delivery, commissioning, progress monitoring and recovery — underpinned by programme optimisation, critical path analysis and independent programme assurance.

Our Approach

  • We believe the strongest programmes are developed with project teams, not in isolation from them.
  • Our planning process brings together the people responsible for design, procurement, construction, commercial management and commissioning to develop a shared understanding of how the project will be delivered.
  • This collaborative approach allows assumptions, interfaces, constraints and risks to be identified early and reflected within the programme.
  • The result is not simply a schedule for reporting purposes, but a practical management tool that supports project delivery and informed decision-making.

Collaborative in Delivery.
Independent in Judgement.

Planning Systems

We have experience developing and managing programmes using industry-standard planning platforms including:

Primavera P6
Asta Powerproject
Microsoft Project

The choice of software is secondary to the quality of the planning behind it. A sophisticated planning system cannot compensate for unclear scope, weak logic or an unrealistic delivery strategy.

From Planning to Project Control

A robust programme provides the foundation for effective project controls.

Where clients require integrated performance management, our Project Controls & EVM service builds upon the programme by bringing together schedule, cost, progress and performance information.

Let’s talk about your programme.

Whether you are preparing a tender, establishing a baseline, reviewing programme performance or addressing a challenging delivery position, we can work alongside your team to provide the planning expertise and independent perspective required.
