Within BAE Systems our projects are pioneering, complex, and critical. Planning and scheduling these projects is an essential, yet exciting element of how we project manage our portfolio.

Planning ensures that all the work can be defined, estimated, scheduled, risked, resourced and costed so that a baseline can be established, deployed, and then managed and controlled.
