PlanningExecutionAccountabilityResults

Scheduling support can be priced hourly, as a fixed deliverable or as a recurring monthly service. The right structure depends on how clearly the work can be defined.

Baseline Development

Cost depends on project scope, contract requirements, available planning information, activity detail, resource or cost loading and the number of review cycles.

Recurring Schedule Updates

Update pricing is influenced by activity count, status frequency, quality of field inputs, required meetings, reporting formats and the condition of the existing schedule.

Schedule Review or Recovery

A focused health review may be clearly defined, while recovery planning can expand as logic, progress history and execution alternatives are evaluated.

Hourly vs. Fixed Fee

Hourly support works well when needs will evolve. Fixed fees work best when inputs, deliverables, review cycles and turnaround expectations are defined.

How to Get an Accurate Proposal

Provide the schedule specification, current XER if one exists, milestone requirements, reporting expectations and desired start date. Pathline can then scope the work without padding the proposal for unknowns.
