The Integrated Master Plan: Terrible Name, but a Great Idea

The Integrated Master Plan may be one of the least intuitive names in project controls, but the underlying idea is extremely useful. In this session, Eric Christoph will explain the IMP as a practical event-based planning structure that helps teams define progress in terms of accomplishments and measurable completion criteria rather than vague activity status or percent complete.

The webinar will walk through where the IMP came from, how it relates to the Integrated Master Schedule, and why the distinction matters for building credible plans. Using accessible examples from defense and complex program environments, the session will show how events, accomplishments, and criteria create clearer logic, better stakeholder alignment, and more objective status reporting.

This presentation is intended for schedulers, project controls practitioners, and program leaders who want a better way to think about what “done” means at key points in a plan. Attendees should leave with a clearer conceptual model for using IMP principles to strengthen schedules and improve communication with decision-makers.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
