Verifying to the extent possible the integrity of the data inputs for the POW and checking
consistency between the tasks;
Documenting and monitoring of progress inside the POW or by using additional tools such as Excel
or PowerPoint for project metrics;
Preparing and presenting updates of project schedules to Customers as required by project teams;
Identifying changes and recommending preventive and/or mitigation actions;
Analysis of risks and assessment of impact of delays;
Monitoring adherence of a project’s schedule with the agreed plan(s) both internal and external
(Customer focused);
Collaborating with the project team to maintain and update the project schedule on a regular
basis;
