Keynote: SuperScheduling – Securing Project Completion Certainty
SuperForecasting, hailed as “the most important book on decision making since Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow,” has inspired a breakthrough innovation in project controls. In this presentation, Dr. Gui introduces SuperScheduling – a project scheduling framework that relies on collaboratively built, intelligent schedules ― not as direct predictors of project completion, but as schedule inputs for Monte Carlo simulation where activity duration risk progressively reflects learned, statistical activity performance left of the data date.
Keynote Speaker
Dr. Gui Ponce de Leon, founder and CEO of PMA Consultants, is recognized as one of our nation’s foremost planning and scheduling subject matter experts. His executive and senior-level roles have included investor’s developer, program manager, construction manager, and EPC contractor planner/scheduler. Dr. Gui has continually pioneered innovations in project management throughout his career at PMA. He has written widely on the use of CPM in construction contracts as well as on schedule, delay, and acceleration analysis. His recent work with the Graphical Path Method is revolutionizing planning and scheduling at a level not seen since the advent of critical path methods.
