Synchro Scheduler Synchro   Scheduler™    is   an   advanced   stand-alone   system   for   managing   project   schedules developed   specifically   for   the   construction   industry   because   we   are   determined   to   improve project performance. Effective    project    management    requires    the    use    of    advanced    scheduling    and    scheduling methods   that   allow   users   to   determine   streamlined   activity   sequences   to   complete   a   project   on time and within budget. Synchro   Scheduler   uses   the   Critical   Path   Method   (CPM).   Our   CPM   generates   project   analysis,   such   as   the   longest sequence   of   activities,   the   shortest   duration   of   the   project,   and   the   total   slack   and   free   play   of   each   activity.   This information   is   crucial   to   the   success   of   the   project   and   critically   important   for   the   project   manager   to   plan   and   control more   actively   and   efficiently.   Typically,   critical   activities   that   have   zero   backlash   should   receive   attention   from management rather than being unnecessarily distracted from other activities. Synchro   Scheduler's   ability   to   support   Management   by   Exception   through   critical   path   and   near   critical   path   is   an important   advantage   of   CPM,   especially   in   large   and   complex   projects.   Synchro   Scheduler   includes   an   easy-to-use guide   to   getting   started   with   simple   application   and   merges   into   Synchro   PRO   ™   when   you're   ready   to   push performance to the next level.
