Solving the field disconnect in practice

My colleague Stijn has written a fair share about how to overcome field-disconnection. I’ll not reformulate what he found but focus on how we see and how we can currently solve these issues. In a nutshell, these were the main challenges:

1. Schedules with low realism because planning became a planning engineers’ job, not usually performed by people with in-field experience.
2. The site is rarely involved in the planning process, which leads to low commitment to follow the resulting schedule.
3. The schedule is too often used as a contractual vehicle, not to steer execution.
4. During execution, the field feedback is often insufficient to resemble the reality in the schedule, nor will realistic forecasts be made.

Let’s take you through a typical planning-to-execution process and observe the savvy way InEight Schedule solves these challenges.
