This presentation provided insight into the lessons learned for conducting successful interactive planning sessions (IPS) and the benefits of utilizing NetPoint (& GPM) for planning exercises. It covered the transition from schedule planning to schedule development and when to utilize NetPoint versus Primavera as the scheduling platform, as each platform provides distinct benefits. The presentation also addressed the transition between the schedule software systems, how to reap the benefits of each while minimizing administrative effort while supporting ongoing schedule planning and development efforts.
