Look-Ahead Schedule

In Plain English

A detailed short-term schedule showing exactly what work is planned for the next two to six weeks.

Definition

A look-ahead schedule (also called a three-week look-ahead or short-interval schedule) is a detailed near-term field schedule showing planned work activities for the next two to six weeks, broken down to a daily or task-specific level. It serves as the primary field planning tool for superintendents and is derived from the master CPM schedule. Look-ahead schedules identify material deliveries, subcontractor crews, equipment, and inspections needed.
