In this keynote, Dr. Gui unveils how Schedule IQ™ and NetPoint® provide planners an algorithmic solution to the weather planning problem. This vast improvement over current weather methods obviates having to adjust durations for weather (only to see the adjustments invalidated as the schedule is updated and as activities shift into different months) or using weather calendars to impact early dates (only to end up with a float-ruining scenario). The GPM approach to weather planning relies on a weather pass that algorithmically generates weather-adjusted durations and weathered early dates based on customizable profiles of historical weather averages from NOAA databases.

Learn how to use Schedule IQ and NetPoint to weatherproof your schedule.
