Murray B. Woolf, PMP - Founder of ICS

CAREER OVERVIEW

Murray Woolf, PMP, is president of the International Center for Scheduling, Inc, which he founded in 2006 as his response to the number of challenges facing the Scheduling Practice in the United States and globally. ICS-Global, through its numerous divisions, once fully operational, will be the largest for-profit construction scheduling organization in the world, offering scheduling, training, research, consulting, recruitment, and other essential services.

Murray has more than 38 years of hands-on experience in project controls, project management, training, consulting, and dispute resolution, virtually all within the construction industry.

Across his career, he has provided planning and scheduling services on more than 175 projects worldwide, with combined value estimated at around $28 billion.

Murray is the inventor of numerous scheduling and project management innovations, including Momentum Management, Dilemma Forecasting, Dominant Paths, Network Reverse Pass Calculation, Proiect Facilitation, Project Navigation, Cognitive Project Management, Performance Intensity, Discrete Activity Float, Schedule Resiliency, Schedule Vulnerability, and many more.

Murray is a frequent and popular speaker on scheduling topics. He ranked #3 out of 101 presenters at AACEI’s 2007 conference in Nashville, and was the Keynote Speaker at the College of Scheduling’s 3rd Annual Conference in Orlando, in 2006.

Murray served as a member of the board of directors of the PMI College of Scheduling, and served three years as the founding Managing Director of the College’s Scheduling Excellence Initiative, and later as a vice president of the College.

Murray is the author of McGraw-Hill’s best-selling construction scheduling book, Faster Construction Projects with CPM Scheduling, second only to "CPM in Construction Management," by James J. O'Brien and Fred Plotnick. Mr. O'Brien also wrote the Foreword to Murray's seminal work.

Murray's second text is, CPM Mechanics, is setting sales records, no doubt because it is written in an easy-to-follow conversational style, and with the construction project manager or field superintendent in mind. The book assumes no prior understanding of construction scheduling, or the Critical Path Method. CPM Mechanics is the first book in the ICS-Compendium series. It is also the primary text for the foundation course by the same name, offered through the ICS-Institute.

PEER COMMENTS ABOUT MURRAY Mike Mosley, Committee Chair for Update Project, Project Management Institute Program Manager, Zachry Nuclear, Inc. I have know and worked with Murray for over seven years, including in 2004 when his expertise and determination lead the PMI College of Scheduling's Scheduling Excellence Initiative (SEI). SEI's influence has extended well beyond planning/scheduling application best practices and guidelines alone. It is still making significant contributions toward the future - with better planning/scheduling software, planning/scheduling training programs, and a "think tank" incubator for future planning/scheduling technologies and methodologies. Murray is a leader, an author, and an entrepreneur. A formitable advocate for scheduling expertise and good practices. I am proud to know him. Chris Carson , Corporate Director of Project Controls, Alpha Corporation I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Murray in the PMI College of Scheduling on the Scheduling Excellence Initiative project writing Best Practices and Guidelines for Scheduling and Schedule Impact Analysis. Murray developed the original concept, provided direction for the full SEI program and guided a number of us in the planning of the projects. I was amazed at the depth and expanse of Murray's knowledge and experience in scheduling and analysis, and where we are now in the SEI projects is based on his foundation. Murray and I have become friends, mostly due to the respect that I have developed for him, and I highly recommend Murray as one of the most knowledgeable scheduling professionals in the industry. He has some advanced approaches to scheduling that few other schedulers have imagined, let alone put into practice. Murray's dedication, coupled with his experience and knowledge, place him in a leadership role for the scheduling industry. Phil Apprill, President, Apprill & Associates Murray Woolf is the consummate scheduling professional. He has complete command of the planning and scheduling process, he is widely experienced in construction methodology and he has expert knowledge of software implementation. I felt completely comfortable handing an assignment to Murray and going on to other business knowing that he would more than deliver the services needed Glen Palmer, President, GR Palmer Consulting Services Murray Woolf is one the most knowledgeable planning and scheduling people that I know. I would strongly endorse Murray to anyone looking for assistance in that field Paul Levin, Founder/Publisher, Construction Claims Monthly Murrary is the schedule intellectual of our generation and a leader in the movement to improve performance and professionalism in scheduling. Murray is wholeheartedly recommended to deal with the analysis and solution of complex schedule situations David Kaiser , President, Schedule Associates Murray stands alone among all of the professional project managers and schedulers that I have worked with in my 20+ years in the industry. He's an expert in the history of scheduling, scheduling best practices, and real world application of scheduling techniques, but more impressively, he is willing to question the current way of doing business, including his own methods, in order to further the industry and better satisfy customers. I worked with Murray in the early days of the formation of a professional scheduling organization which was assembled in part to develop standards for scheduling. It was a difficult process, that of herding cats, in which we were going off in all directions and the ultimate deliverable was ambiguously defined at best. Murray provided tireless leadership, energy and passion to ultimately establish the group and a process for working as a group which ultimately got us on the path to the desired deliverables. Just two weeks ago I was asked to recommend a quality book on scheduling practices. I suggested Murray's "Faster Construction Projects with CPM Scheduling," even though the requestor doesn't work in construction. It's the book I turn to when I want to know the "right" way to assemble and manage a schedule as well as the reasoning behind that practice. It also provides a candid look at the weaknesses of our current processes and recommendations for an improved path forward. Leadership, expertise, passion. If those are the attributes you're looking for in a scheduling professional I can't recommend Murray highly enough.” Dr. David Hulett , President, Hulett & Associates Murray has led the ambitious program in the PMI College of Scheduling to catalogue and describe best practice scheduling. He is a thoughtful and complete scheduler and leader. His analyses of some of the problems encountered in an organization have been helpful in moving the projects forward.
