Synthesis of Feasible Scheduling Software to Support Project Development Planning

South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) currently utilizes scheduling software that agency project development staff finds to be cumbersome and not user-friendly. As a result, adoption and full use of the software has lagged depriving staff of the ability to reliably predict project schedules and produce data that can be used for tracking and informing the public. Researching other state agencies and consultants' methods for creating project schedules would provide SCDOT with the information to determine if there is affordable software available that would be a better fit for the agency. The research would involve surveying state departments of transportation and engineering consultants to determine the mechanisms utilized to develop schedules and track task durations for transportation projects. The research should provide SCDOT with recommendations as to what methods would be the best fit and most cost effective for SCDOT.
