What is a Lookahead Schedule?
Procore's Lookahead Schedule is a crucial tool for short-term planning and tracking, enabling field teams, such as superintendents, to translate high-level master schedule tasks into the daily or weekly details necessary for execution. This feature typically operates within a two to six-week rolling window. When integrated with an imported, read-only master schedule (e.g., from Primavera P6), the high-level master dates are displayed as non-editable gray bars, allowing for a visual comparison of the detailed plan against the overall project timeline.
The editable field plan allows the field team to create and manage their own detailed activities directly within Procore. This functionality ensures that the master schedule's integrity remains unaffected, as changes made in the Lookahead Schedule do not alter the main project timeline.
