Responsible for supporting the Program Manager in establishing a resource-loaded integrated master schedule (IMS) and maintaining/updating the schedule for the program period of performance.

Develop, maintain, status, and analyze the program's resource-loaded Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) in Microsoft Project.

Integrate schedules across multiple projects, technical disciplines, geographic locations, and program work streams into a consolidated program-level IMS.

Establish and maintain logical predecessor/successor relationships, dependencies, constraints, milestones, calendars, WBS structures, and schedule coding.

Lead recurring schedule status cycles with project managers, technical leads, and task owners to validate actual dates, remaining durations, forecast dates, percent complete, and upcoming activities.

Perform critical path and near-critical path analysis and identify activities that may affect contractual or program milestones.

Analyze baseline-to-current schedule variance and communicate significant changes, trends, and forecast impacts to program leadership.

Evaluate schedule impacts resulting from technical issues, customer dependencies, logistics, site readiness, resource constraints, or changes in program execution.

Conduct schedule health assessments using industry-standard scheduling practices and metrics, including DCMA 14-point schedule assessment criteria, as applicable.

Identify schedule risks, issues, assumptions, and external dependencies and assess their potential impact on program execution.

Develop what-if analyses, Courses of Action (COAs), schedule recovery options, and mitigation strategies to support management decision-making.

Support formal schedule change-control processes, including evaluation and documentation of proposed schedule changes and impacts to approved baselines.

Maintain schedule configuration management and version control to ensure traceability of approved changes.

Track contractual deliverables, customer milestones, technical milestones, site-level milestones, and other key program commitments.

Prepare schedule reports, milestone summaries, schedule variance analyses, look-ahead reports, and executive-level schedule briefings.

Participate in internal and customer schedule reviews and communicate schedule status, risks, dependencies, and required decisions to Program Management and Government stakeholders.

Coordinate across cross-functional teams to identify schedule conflicts, monitor action items, and support timely resolution of issues affecting program execution.

Maintain schedule-management standards, including WBS integrity, naming conventions, calendars, status dates, logic, and other IMS governance requirements.
