Execution System

We learned how to plan.

We never learned how to see execution.


In 1710, navigation had latitude but not longitude.Sailors could plan a course, but once underway, they couldn’t reliably know where they were.

Project execution faces the same constraint.
We can plan work in detail.
But once execution begins, dependencies blur, change compounds, and visibility fades.
OverVue restores visibility during execution.

Execution System

The Constraint

Planning works. Execution breaks down.



This isn’t a failure of discipline, tools, or talent.

It’s a structural limitation.

Date-driven planning systems are excellent at describing intent:
• tasks
• dates
• baselines
• reports

But execution does not unfold by dates alone.

It unfolds through:
• dependencies
• constraints
• overlap
• handoffs
• change

When conditions shift, traditional systems recalculate outcomes.
But they do not reveal how change actually propagates through the work.

So teams improvise.
Plans lose authority.
Rework and delay accumulate quietly.

The Parallel

A problem already solved once



By around 300 BC, navigation could determine latitude precisely.
Longitude remained unmeasurable at sea for another 1,500 years.

Not because sailors lacked skill.
Not because charts were poor.

Because a foundational capability was missing.

Until time could be measured accurately at sea, navigation relied on estimation. Errors accumulated. Corrections came too late.

Execution today is constrained in the same way.

We can plan work.
But we cannot reliably see execution unfold while it’s happening.

Navigation didn’t advance when charts improved.
It advanced when position could be determined beyond the sight of land.

The Boundary

This is not a tooling gap.



It’s a foundation problem.

Date-driven scheduling cannot keep execution logic visible once work is in motion.

Dates describe intent.
Execution unfolds through dependencies, constraints, and flow.

No amount of refinement inside a date-driven model can cross that boundary.

Just as no refinement of charts could solve longitude.

The OverVue Foundation

Built on different assumptions about execution



OverVue does not extend traditional scheduling.

It starts from a different assumption:

Execution is governed by dependencies and constraints, not dates.

From that foundation, a different execution capability emerges.

OverVue:

• embeds execution logic directly in the structure of the plan
• keeps dependencies and constraints visible during execution
• shows float, overlap, and convergence — not just dates
• allows change to propagate through structure, not reports
• keeps the plan usable as conditions evolve.

This is why OverVue feels different to use.
And why it cannot be evaluated like conventional tools.

Where this matters

Built for real execution pressure



OverVue is used where:


• work runs in parallel across teams and disciplines
• resources are shared or constrained
• approvals and handoffs shape sequencing
• small changes trigger large downstream effects

Projects are the most visible example.
But this execution challenge appears wherever work must stay coherent under change.

Evaluation

Why comparison shopping and demos fail



Foundational capabilities cannot be evaluated in isolation.

Watching John Harrison demonstrate a chronometer on a street corner in London would have proven nothing.
Longitude could only be validated at sea, under real conditions.

Execution is no different.

Feature comparisons are meaningless.
Demos are insufficient.

The only meaningful question is:

Does this execution model hold up under our real conditions?

Technical Evaluation Assessment (TEA)

A new foundation requires a different evaluation


Because OverVue is built on a different execution foundation, it is evaluated differently.

A Technical Evaluation Assessment (TEA) is a structured, real-world assessment designed to determine whether OverVue materially improves execution visibility and decision-making in your environment.

A TEA:

• uses your actual execution conditions
• focuses on dependencies, constraints, and change sensitivity
• produces a clear recommendation:

proceed / do not proceed / proceed with conditions

This is not a demo.
It is not a pilot.
It is not a feature comparison.

TEAs are scoped and proposed individually.

What clients are saying

"The OverVue System is powerful, but what truly stood out was the support from the OverVue team. They helped us transition from a traditional schedule to a more visual one, making it easier to understand the intricacies between activities while regularly checking in to monitor and adjust as needed."

Tom St. Onge Project Leader

“OverVue was key to the huge success of Dexel’s Press Block project, finally allowing me to answer the tough question, “How long is it going to take?” We delivered a month ahead of schedule and on budget, thanks to great support from Colin and Alan.”

Joe Stone General Manager Firm Formwork

Frequently asked questions

What does OverVue provide?

OverVue is a structured execution partner. We don’t sit on the sidelines, we work directly with you 1-on-1 to keep projects and workflows aligned from start to finish.

Our role is to structure, adapt, and maintain execution so you can stay focused on delivering results.

With our 4 Week Launch Program, you can expect:

  • All activities have dependencies

  • Resource-loaded plan with conflict detection

  • Possibility planning / 'What-if' scenarios

  • Execution that stays structured even when conditions change.

Who do you work with?

Our services provide an ideal partnership with construction organizations:

✔ General Contractors, Sub & Specialty Contractors

✔ Governments & Pubic Sector

✔ Independent Project Managers

How do you work with clients?

You’re the subject matter expert. We’re the structured execution experts. Our role is to help you plan, structure, and navigate execution in a multi-project environment—without the frustration of rigid tools or outdated schedules.

✔ We structure the plan—together. Align scope, resources, and timing so execution flows smoothly.

✔ We guide execution in real-time. Adviseyou through decisions, adjustments, and trade-offs as projects evolve.

✔ We keep everything in sync. Ensure multi-project coordination, resource balancing, and execution alignment.

We integrate directly with your team. Together we:

    •    Build a structured plan that reflects your deliverables, resources, and timelines.

    •    Stay engaged through execution, guiding decisions and trade-offs in real time.

    •    Keep projects and portfolios aligned, even as conditions change.

Why treat Project Execution as a service?

Keeping projects aligned—especially across portfolios and programs—is an ongoing challenge.

Project planning isn’t just about creating a schedule—it’s about managing change, dependencies, and resource constraints as execution unfolds. When teams manage multiple projects, integrating schedules while keeping execution structured is a constant challenge.

✔ Portfolios require coordination. Independent projects compete for the same resources, creating bottlenecks.

✔ Programs introduce complexity. Multiple interdependent projects must stay aligned to avoid cascading delays.

✔ Execution doesn’t stop. Without structured scheduling support, plans quickly become outdated.

Why treat project execution as a service?

Because execution doesn’t stay still. Plans built once and left alone quickly become outdated.

OverVue ensures your projects adapt as you go—so resources, dependencies, and priorities remain in sync without constant rework.

Do you replace existing tools?

OverVue works alongside the tools you already use.

✔ Compatible with Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, Primavera P6, and similar tools.

✔ Imports and exports data using CSV files for seamless updates.

✔ Powered by our own proprietary tool—OverVue Software—built for structured execution.

OverVue isn’t just another tool—it’s the system that keeps everything moving.

Do you replace existing tools?

No. We work alongside your current tools (MS Project, Smartsheet, P6, spreadsheets, etc.).

All engagements are powered by our proprietary OverVue system, which we use to structure execution and keep everything aligned.

Can we license the OverVue software?

No. OverVue Software is exclusive to OverVue Planning Systems Inc. (Pat. Pend.).

OverVue Software is a key part of how we structure execution, but we currently do not sell it. Instead, we use it internally to provide structured planning, real-time coordination and adaptable project management.

For now, OverVue Software remains exclusive. We bring the system, the expertise, and the ongoing coordination.

Not directly. The software is exclusive to OverVue Planning Systems (Pat. Pend.) and used internally to power our services.

Select partners may be invited to direct access once execution structure is in place—but every engagement begins as a service.
