SmartPM

By audience

Project Manager

• Project managers upload CPM schedule files (MPP or P6) or pull them from Procore to get automated analysis without disrupting existing scheduling tools.
• SmartPM's Schedule Feasibility and Forecasted Completion Date help PMs identify slipping milestones weeks before they become critical.
• Automated narrative reports and delay analysis reduce manual reporting effort, freeing PMs to focus on corrective actions.

Scheduler

• Schedulers receive a Schedule Quality Grade that identifies logic errors, missing constraints, and float anomalies in submitted CPM files.
• The Schedule Quality Editor flags specific activities needing corrections, giving schedulers an objective checklist for compliance reviews.
• Historical critical path tracking lets schedulers demonstrate how the critical path evolved over time for claims and dispute resolution.

Construction Management

• Company-level dashboards aggregate portfolio health metrics, allowing construction managers to spot distressed projects early across the whole program.
• Trend reports and compression analysis across projects support standardized project controls processes firm-wide.

Executive Leadership

• Executive dashboards show portfolio-wide Schedule Performance Index and project health trends without requiring direct access to CPM files.
• SmartPM's leading indicators allow executives to flag at-risk projects and prioritize oversight before schedule deviations become cost overruns.

General Contracting

• General contractors use SmartPM to enforce subcontractor schedule quality standards and track lookahead reliability across the project team.
• Integration with Procore means schedule data pulled from subcontractor submissions is analyzed automatically within the existing GC workflow.

By phase

Construction

• During construction, teams upload updated schedules each period and receive automated analysis comparing planned vs. actual progress against the CPM baseline.
• Delay analysis and change log audit tools support contemporaneous record-keeping for potential claims during active construction.
• Real-time Schedule Performance Index gives field superintendents and project engineers a quantified picture of schedule health at any point.

Pre-Construction

• During pre-construction, SmartPM can baseline-grade the initial CPM schedule for logic quality before construction begins.
• Owners and CMs can use Schedule Quality Grade to qualify contractor schedules and set a quality bar before award.
