Controls Star helps construction teams analyze schedule performance, critical and driving paths, milestone movement and baseline changes so project leaders can quickly understand where the schedule is slipping and where to focus next.
Construction schedules can hold thousands of activities, relationships, milestones and paths. Having the schedule is not the challenge. Understanding it quickly is. Controls Star helps teams answer the questions leaders actually ask:
Controls Star surfaces critical paths, driving paths and top path insights so project leaders can move past a long activity list and focus on the sequences that materially influence completion. It supports schedulers and controls teams — it does not modify schedule logic or replace detailed CPM analysis.
Controls Star helps identify late milestones, milestone movement, and baseline schedule comparisons — so teams can see the meaningful changes rather than reading every date. Baseline comparisons use the approved baseline XER you attach; Controls Star does not perform forensic delay-cause analysis.
Controls Star places schedule context alongside earned value, cost performance, productivity, discipline performance, S-curves and project trends. A schedule signal matters more when the team can see the project-performance picture around it.
Explore Earned Value ManagementControls Star can use your project data to write executive summaries, key findings and recommendations — so schedule-related insights are surfaced and communicated within the broader project context. It supports the scheduler, Project Controls Manager and Project Manager — it does not decide project strategy for them.
Attach your Primavera P6 XER export — file-based analysis, not a live P6 connection.
Schedule performance, milestones, critical and driving paths, baseline movement, and the broader project context around them.
The paths that matter this cycle, emerging schedule issues, findings, recommendations and executive-level visibility.
People who need to explain schedule performance, milestone movement and delivery risk — and connect the schedule story to broader project performance.
Primavera P6 remains the scheduling system. Controls Star reads the P6 XER data you upload — file-based analysis, not a live P6 connection — and helps teams interpret schedule performance alongside cost, productivity and earned value context. Controls Star does not author schedules and does not replace P6.
