The Association for the Advancement of the Cost Engineering (AACE International) has recently released Recommended Practice 89R-16 Management Summary Schedule. Dr. Mirhadi, Adroit’s CEO and one of Adroit’s principal consultants is one of the two primary authors of this recommended practice. The AACE International Recommended Practices (RPs) are intended to be the main technical foundation of AACE’s educational, and certification products and services. The RPs are a series of documents that contain valuable reference information that has been subject to a rigorous review process and recommended for use by AACE’s Technical Board and they become references for project management practitioner throughout the world.
This recommended practice (RP) characterizes management summary schedules, describing their intended use, and identifies considerations for developing and updating these summary schedules. It also addresses roles and responsibilities relating to, and considerations in, communicating management summary schedules to ensure these schedules are used as effective planning, scheduling, and control tools in projects. This RP for management summary schedules is intended to be a guideline, not a standard. Here is the link to an excerpt from this recommended practice.
