When you’re interviewing for senior PM roles, how are you quantifying timeline control without drowning people in Gantt charts? I’m planning to bring a one-page case study per project with baseline vs actual (Smartsheet delta) and a project photo, so the narrative functions as both a delivery metric and a cohesive marketing piece — has that landed well for you?
Your one-pager with the Smartsheet delta works; I’d add one line for SPI and milestone hit rate, e.g., “baseline 24 weeks, actual 26, SPI 0.92; recovered 10 days by resequencing MEP.” That shows schedule control and the lever you pulled under a constraint (permits or long‑lead steel), not just drift — Gantt dumps lose them, . Have you tried calling out one recovery action per project?
Add a tiny ‘decision latency’ line — avg days to clear critical RFIs/change orders — and a quick buffer-burn vs plan so it reads like a speedometer, not a Gantt. I’ve had interviewers latch onto a simple before/after, e.g., ‘RFI turnaround 5d → 2d; recovered 8 days on MEP rough-in,’ which keeps it tangible. Would you add a QR code to the one-pager so sched nerds can dive deeper without derailing the room?
@ewrigh69 I add a tiny ‘PPC (Last Planner)’ line — e.g., 76%→90% in 5 weeks — and tie it to a result like ‘held TCO date’ or ‘pulled owner walk 4 days,’ which reads as schedule control without charts; do you track PPC?
