Perform schedule risk analysis, critical path analysis, forecasting, and scenario ("what-if") analysis to address technical, regulatory, cost, and schedule risks, including identifying risks and constraints, conducting milestone confidence and sensitivity assessments, incorporating mitigation strategies into the IMS, and communicating overall risk exposure and confidence levels.

Coordinate with Project Management and Finance to align control accounts, work packages, budgets, schedule activities, and audit requirements.

Prepare and present schedule status reports, dashboards, and executive-level briefings for internal leadership and external stakeholders.
