THE MISSING LINK

Keep your schedule up to date without chasing down updates

When weekly planning happens separately from your master schedule, critical information can get stuck at site level. Delays, disruption, changes that impact the schedule might not be discovered until recovery options are much more limited.

Connect your schedule to site delivery

Plan weekly work directly from the schedule

Create schedule-linked weekly work plans so you can monitor schedule progress and maintain control over delivery performance.

Import activities

Pull activities directly from your schedule with all task details and ownership intact.

Manage dependencies

Built-in readiness checks ensure teams have everything needed before work starts each week.

Align all trades

Give every trade clear weekly targets with specific locations and timing.

Week 3 Shift table showing activities, expected progress percentages, and scheduled days with an overlay window importing a file named week-three.xml at 30%.

Track actual progress against the plan

See which activities are progressing as planned and document variances when work deviates from the schedule so you can plan ahead more precisely.

Monitor schedule variances

See which activities are ahead, behind, or not happening as planned

Capture unplanned work

Track additional activities that emerge during execution alongside your original schedule

Assess schedule impact

Understand how variances affect downstream activities and critical path timing

Week 21 night shift schedule from 14-Dec-2024 to 20-Dec-2024 highlighting Monday 15-Dec with a progress recording popup showing 35% progress on installation of secondary distribution boards.

Build comprehensive delay evidence automatically

Capture delay documentation with complete context so you can justify schedule adjustments and support claims when needed.

Document the full story

Every delay gets captured with who, what, when, and why.

Link everything together

Issues connect directly to affected activities so you can trace impacts through your schedule.

Evidence ready when needed

Generate comprehensive PDF reports to support extension of time claims or client negotiations

Export issue settings toggles activated for Approvers, Issue Details, Impact, People / Teams, Visibility, Updates, and Attached files & images displayed alongside a detailed Issues Report from Technohub Innovation Centre.

“A lot of the time, the way that you build the project, there's a lot of change involved. Shape allows you to track all of those changes. You can see the journey that Shape created for you by all of the updates that you do through there.”
