• Develop, integrate, and manage scheduling activities that comply with program or product requirements.

• Monitor execution toward milestones, technical readiness criteria, integration timelines, and key events.
• Develop schedules that effectively communicate across all levels of the project team and leadership.
• Support data collection and timeline interpretation for leadership briefs and program reviews.
• Conduct critical path, schedule slack, and predecessor/successor analyses.
• Perform Schedule Risk Assessments.
• Develop schedule metrics aligned with the Requirements Verification Traceability Matrix (RTVM) and recommend updates to improve program monitoring and reporting.
