Forget the guesswork and crossed wires—use structured consulting to align schedules, manage risks, control scope, and standardise reporting across every phase of your program.
Breaking a large program into phases sounds simple enough—until you're knee-deep in overlapping deadlines, unclear scope, and competing stakeholder priorities. Multi-phase delivery can be a clever way to manage risk and complexity, but only if each phase connects smoothly with the next. That’s where good planning becomes critical.
When the stakes are high—think infrastructure, transport, or major capital works—you can’t afford to wing it. You need clearly defined controls, consistent reporting structures, and schedules that actually reflect reality. This isn’t just about putting dates in a calendar. It’s about designing a system that works across the full life of the program.
That’s where project plan consulting earns its stripes. It gives you the frameworks, tools, and structure to keep each phase aligned—not just in theory, but on the ground. From scope control to risk modelling, it’s all about enabling delivery teams to make smarter decisions without losing sight of the bigger picture.
Consultants build integrated master schedules to align phase timelines, dependencies, and float within a unified structure. Tools like Primavera P6 help map out critical paths and link activities across phases. This ensures timing remains consistent, supports handovers, and enables proactive adjustments when delays arise.
To keep scope under control, consultants apply work breakdown structures and control account plans across all phases. These tools set clear boundaries and assign accountability to prevent overlaps. Paired with rigorous change control, they reduce unplanned scope growth that can impact schedules and budgets program-wide.
Consultants apply risk tools like Monte Carlo simulations and QRAs to assess each phase in isolation, then consolidate those insights into a program-level view. This approach ensures local risks are understood in context and supports smarter decisions around contingency allocation, resource planning, and phase sequencing.
Without standard data, reporting falls apart. Consultants implement consistent coding structures, EVM frameworks, and aligned cost tracking systems so all phases report in the same format. This ensures accuracy, allows for meaningful roll-ups, and eliminates the manual work of stitching together mismatched data sets.
Take charge of your program’s success with our specialised project planning consultancy services, designed to bring clarity, control, and confidence to every phase. Our expert team works with you to assess risks, streamline processes, and optimise delivery—preventing issues from becoming costly delays. With a proactive approach, we turn potential roadblocks into strategic progress.
“I got trained for Primavera P6 PPM through Compass Consult. Honestly, the things that got me in were their competitive pricing and payment plans in offer. The thing that I highly admire about the training is that it is a very practical, hands-on training wherein you can learn while working on your own project. The trainers are highly experienced and fundamentally strong. I would strongly recommend the training to someone who needs hands-on experience in P6.”
“We got our Primavera P6 EPPM software and Installation done through Compass Consult. The solution that was given was a good fit for our company size and compliant for the types of projects that we do. One thing that I admire a lot is the customer service team who were very quick in resolving any queries we had and gave us full clarity of the process. I recommend Compass Consult to any company looking for a genuine solution to their Project Management needs.”
“We found Compass Consult through an online search and got competitive pricing from them on Primavera P6 implementation and consultancy. We found their delivery team easy to deal with and it was a smooth process overall with a great hassle-free experience. I would highly recommend working with Compass Consult for setting up your project controls systems and processes.”
"Compass has bent over backwards to meet the needs of SRG Global. They have been patient as we went through the process of reviewing and approving the equipment. Equipment was then delivered promptly to the location we requested. The project does not start until the new year, but given the excellent service thus far, I am highly confident it will not have any issues with the network connectivity setup."
Effective communication across multiple stakeholders is crucial for large programs. Consultants develop communication frameworks that ensure all stakeholders are kept informed through regular updates, status meetings, and progress reports. By streamlining information flows, they help maintain transparency, minimise misunderstandings, and keep everyone on the same page.
Common tools for scheduling include Primavera P6, MS Project, and Asta Powerproject. For risk management, Monte Carlo simulations and risk registers are often used to quantify uncertainties. These tools help create realistic project timelines, analyse potential risks, and ensure informed decision-making across all phases of delivery.
