The Future of CPM Scheduling: Smarter, Faster, and Collaborative
The Future of CPM Scheduling: Smarter, Faster, and Collaborative
Construction scheduling is broken. Gantt charts are outdated, teams are stuck in spreadsheets, and projects keep running over time and budget. But what if scheduling was as intuitive as a whiteboard and as powerful as CPM?
In this episode of AEC Trailblazers, we sit down with Nitin Bhandari, Co-Founder & CEO of Planera, to explore how collaborative and visual CPM-based planning is redefining construction scheduling.
Why traditional scheduling tools fail modern projects. How real-time, high-fidelity data is a game changer. And the role of AI & automation in smarter scheduling.
Nitin shares insights from his journey—building tech startups, optimizing mobile networks, and now tackling one of AEC’s biggest inefficiencies. Plus, he offers a free demo of Planera so you can experience the future of scheduling firsthand.
Don’t miss this conversation—because staying on schedule shouldn’t be this hard.
