The Cost of Assumptions: How Contractors Can Quantify Risk When Estimate and Schedule Diverge

20 August 2:00 PM ET

               Presenters:

               Jordan Brooks, Product Director, InEight

               Dominic Cozzetto, Estimate Director, InEight

 

Contractors win and deliver work based on bid estimates and baseline schedules that carry thin margins and aggressive performance commitments. Yet projects routinely move to the execution phase with a fundamental blind spot: The execution budget and baseline schedule can’t be clearly traced to the underlying estimate assumptions that won the work. This disconnect—what practitioners recognize as assumption risk exposure—stays invisible at the estimate-to-execution handoff and surfaces later as margin erosion, productivity shortfalls, schedule slippage, and contractual disputes. Join this session to learn a practical, contractor-side framework for detecting, quantifying, and preventing divergence between your estimate and your schedule using structured project controls practices, quantitative risk analysis, and Monte Carlo simulation. The webinar will emphasize maintaining a continuous golden thread between estimate, budget, and schedule throughout the project lifecycle.

SmartPM Demo Day: From Risk to Action

25 August 12:00 PM ET

               Presenter:

               Lauren Peterson, Product Specialist, SmartPM Technologies



Most construction teams don't lack schedule data, they lack the time to interpret it before problems become disputes. This session is a live demonstration of SmartPM's schedule analytics platform, showing how it surfaces early warning signs, such as compressed logic, unstable critical paths, and inconsistent updates, well before they surface as claims or delay. Using real project examples, we'll walk through SmartPM's schedule quality scoring, delay analysis, and change tracking tools in action, showing exactly how raw P6 and Microsoft Project schedules become clear, actionable risk indicators. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for what to look for in their own schedules each month, and how SmartPM surfaces it automatically.

Risk for the Rest of Us: Taming Enterprise and Project Risk without a PhD

15 September 11:00 AM ET

               Presenters:

               Thomas Polen, PPM solutions Architect, Deltek

               Jarod Maloney, PPM Solutions Engineer, Deltek

 


"Risk for the Rest of Us" is the concept that finally makes schedule and cost risk assessments feel less like statistics and more accessible for everyone... analysts and managers at every level, no PhD required. You'll learn to gather the right inputs, run Monte Carlo simulations, and decode risk exposure histograms and tornado charts fast enough to brief findings on the spot, in your own words, to any room. We don't stop at the project level, because the threats that blow up timelines and budgets rarely start there. Funding freezes, workforce gaps, and policy shifts originating in the boardroom have a way of quietly cascading into project-level chaos, and this session equips you to spot that chain reaction early, translate it for executives, and drive the mitigation decisions that protect the entire portfolio.

 

The webinar is free, but registration is required. This webinar is generously sponsored by Deltek. Attendees will earn 0.1 CEUs.
