Project management
Billing dates, change orders, and notices, written as standards that work without anyone following up on them.
Where this step fits
Courses for the people managing the jobs
The standards in this step tell a project manager what to do. These teach the why underneath them. SPM The Construction CFO publishes them. It's a separate company from this one, and the courses are on its own school site.

What owners ask
What is the project management step?
Billing dates, change orders, and notices, written as standards that work without anyone following up on them. It's step 06 of 8 in CONTROL, drawn from chapter 6.
Does the order make a difference?
Yes. This step depends on estimating system, so installing it first produces numbers the field won't trust.
What does it change downstream?
It supplies monthly cadence, standards and accountability. A change here moves every one of those.
What fails if I skip step 06?
2 later steps read from it: 07, monthly cadence, 08, standards and accountability. Skip it and those rely on numbers that were never established, so the output looks finished and isn't.
Where does step 06 fit in the sequence?
Position 6 of 8 once the dependencies are resolved. It waits on 04. 2 steps wait on it. Most owners install all 8 inside 60 days.
