The schedule that won the job

Any design lead knows this. The proposal schedule won the job, and on paper it holds. Then the real calendar goes on: fixed review weeks, comment periods, holidays. The float shrinks, and the discipline that can't start until another finishes misses a review nobody can move.

One case on our Try page: Yesper built the design schedule for a double-track rail job, ready for Microsoft Project. With the comment period the PMP requires, the final submittal lands two business days after the due date, and Signals misses the first three days of the second review.

The due date comes up at kickoff, not the month before the submittal. The late discipline shows while there's time to split its delivery or move the review. Same for the rest of the Try page: a review protocol for a design package, the owner's review comments sorted.
