The question
We are the main contractor on a project. There’s nothing in our contract to say how often we should update our programme, but the client wants us to update it weekly. Do we have to do that?
The answer
Updating is key for good programme management. As CIOB’s Guide to Good Practice in the Management of Time in Complex Projects observes: “Updating a schedule is essential to the management of the time model; without it, the schedule is merely a target against which historical failure might be plotted.”
