MANAGEMENT APPROACH Understanding Agency Objectives I Prior to initiating our efforts, a thorough understanding of the objectives for the City is essential in order to obtain the successful design, documentation and timely approval of projects. Project Scoping I A critical step to ensuring that an effective project schedule can be developed and maintained is preparing a comprehensive scope of work that clearly identifies the various project tasks and deliverables. Michael Baker will also identify assumptions that are critical for understanding the intent of the project delivery process. Critical Path Method Scheduling I Michael Baker uses Microsoft Project scheduling software to regularly monitor project progress and define critical path tasks. As the task order progresses, if any schedule changes are anticipated, we will promptly notify the City and submit an updated detailed Project Schedule.
