nPlan is an AI-driven platform that enhances construction project forecasting and risk management by leveraging a vast dataset of over 750,000 past project schedules—the largest collection globally.
Key Features:
- AI-Powered Forecasting: nPlan utilizes machine learning to predict the uncertainty of every activity in a project schedule, providing data-driven insights that help teams anticipate potential delays and make informed decisions.
- Risk Management Tools: The platform offers tools to identify tasks requiring proactive risk treatment, visualize project schedules as network diagrams to detect sub-critical paths, and model scenarios to determine optimal mitigation strategies.
- Portfolio Analysis: nPlan’s Portfolio product enables program and portfolio directors to quantify deliverability and risk across multiple projects, facilitating efficient resource allocation and strategic planning.
- Generative AI Assistant – Barry: Integrated into the platform, Barry is an AI assistant powered by advanced generative AI technologies, including the Infrastructure, Construction, and Engineering Language Model (ICE-LM). Barry assists users in understanding risk insights, analyzing risk registers, and generating reports through natural language interactions.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Accuracy: By analyzing extensive historical data, nPlan provides unbiased forecasts, reducing reliance on subjective opinions and improving the precision of project timelines.
- Proactive Risk Mitigation: The platform identifies potential risks before they become issues, allowing project teams to implement mitigation strategies proactively, thereby minimizing delays and cost overruns.
- Improved Decision-Making: With comprehensive insights into project and portfolio risks, stakeholders can make informed decisions that enhance project outcomes and organizational efficiency.
Recent Developments:
