We just hit a 3-week permit slip on the downtown fiber run, and I’m weighing a formal rebaseline at M3 versus burning float and reallocating eight splicers to the west sector. How are you handling this mid-execution — lock the baseline and reforecast through the phase gate, or keep crews moving and book the variance to closeout without cascading risk to the cutover window next month?
We had a 3-week permit snag downtown last month — — and we kept crews moving instead of rebaselining at M3. > — lock the baseline and reforecast through the phase gate, or keep crews moving and book — I keep it moving unless the slip burns more than half the total float, then I lock and reforecast. We split the eight splicers 5/3 to the west with a hard OT cap and kept pre-works at the slip site so the cutover window stayed clean; if inspections look shaky again this week, then I’d rebaseline to reset vendor SLAs.
Cap eight splicers shift to 10 days; if ‘burning float’ leaves <1 week by M3, rebaseline.
