Abstract: With the increased demand and complexity of construction projects, where the investments and risks are high and deadlines are tight, there is a need for innovative and accurate project planning and scheduling approaches and processes to be adopted. Having these processes well-structured and implemented throughout the project life cycle will guarantee feasible and transparent information, and will act as a mechanism of predictability with a direct impact on the contractual management and delivery performance.
Through an accurate study of the application of half-step scheduling techniques, this technical paper aims to suggest alternatives to optimize the periodical prospective schedule updates and management of risks associated with the creation of half-step schedules, in addition to presenting the direct benefits of their tailoring, both in adherence to the AACE International's Recommended Practice for Forensic Schedule Analysis (RP 29R-03) and in possible reductions in implicit limitations, such as concurrency and performance problems.
