Scenario optimisation
Planlab compares recovery and optimisation options across time, cost and risk. Define the goal and constraints, then let AI coworkers generate, rank and explain the best scenarios.
Find the best path forward.
Goal-based scenarios
Optimise for time, cost, risk or a combination of priorities.
Scenario comparison
Compare options side by side with duration, cost, risk and schedule impact visible.
Recommended path
Select the best option and push the chosen scenario back into the schedule workflow.
How it works
1
Import or open the baseline schedule you want to optimise.
2
Define the objective, constraints and trade-offs, such as time, cost or risk.
3
Planlab generates scenarios, ranks the leading options and explains the recommended path.

Solution deliveryNearly all the projects that we see have some kind of specific constraints, cost/time trade-offs, or something that is really hard to really model in P6. Finding the best schedule can be difficult, and even experienced planners will only be able to try a handful of different scenarios before producing what will become the master schedule.Planlab delivers a customised workflow to solve for your specific project. We can be as hands-on as needed, including providing a full planning service for your project.
We will work with you to:
Learn more about the two ways to work with Planlab- Define the rules of the project — what the real constraints are, and how they impact which schedules are feasible. This can be on anything: sequencing, resources, space, time, finances, or a combination of these
- Set the objective — what makes a schedule good? This can include time-based values (delay penalties / early delivery bonuses on milestones), costs, risk-levels, and more.
- Set up the decisions - what levers and options do you have? This often includes allocating shifts, additional working time, or resource levels, but can also include changing build sequences and other factors.
- Deliver you the right schedule — the first answer is almost always not the right one. We can help you iterate on the rules, set up additional scenarios, and configure the workflow to get the schedule that is best for you.
Case studiesWe run benchmarks on academic problem sets, and while useful they don’t tell the whole picture. Real projects are messy and complex, and these are the results that matter.

Simple integration into planning workflowOur platform is fully compatible with P6, and can read and write directly to XER files.
Planlab
Create base schedule
Use your current schedule from P6, or create scenarios using Planlab’s Scheduling Agents
PlanlabAdd new constraints
We read in all the data from your XER file - here you can add additional constraints you can't put into P6, or you can skip this
Define target metric
By default, we will find the shortest duration schedule - if this is fine then skip this step, or set up the target you want
Optimize
Optimization can be a few seconds for small schedules, or minutes for very large and complex schedules
10x faster planning cyclesRe-plan in minutes: update rules instead of hand-crafting the answers
Optimize your plan 10-20%Schedule acceleration, cost reduction and delay penalty mitigation
