How can you monitor project activities against a timeline to ensure project delivery?

Integrated project delivery depends upon the transparent flow of information among all project team members from the earliest stages of the project. How do you assure the just-in-time delivery of critical information at every phase of the project?
Join us to explore how project information management (PIM) software supports a more integrated practice by providing a time-based view of project information.

Understand the role of monitoring a project timeline in integrated project delivery.
Explore how project milestones created using Microsoft Project or Deltek Vision’s Project Planning module can be used in a timeline to track activities for all members of the project team.
See how to integrate team-based milestones and project appointments with your personal Outlook calendar.
Learn how PIM technology can log project activities against milestones and phases to support key work processes such as LEED registration and invoice review.

About our webinar series, "Project information management for integrated project delivery"

BIM technology is a well-acknowledged pillar of integrated practice for coordinating and documenting the building design. But what about all the unstructured project communications and adjunct decision-making processes that surround the model as it evolves over the duration of the project?

PIM technology is the complementary solution to BIM. It manages the information and communications around the model. It supports collaboration, accountability and trust – both inside the firm and between external team members.

"Herding the cats" draws upon Newforma’s experience helping customers manage information and communications for over 150,000 projects. Presented by:
