GOK on time: how to manage projects in the mining industry
The Russian mining industry is experiencing a real boom. It is difficult to remember another period of history when so many construction, modernization, and technical re-equipment projects of enterprises were implemented in the country at the same time. But how many of them can be completed within the timeframe specified at the start? Perhaps more typical in the industry, launches are delayed for months or even years.

Scheduling and network planning: Lessons from navigation for megaprojects
While on vacation, I again took up studying COLREG-72 - a set of international rules for preventing collisions between ships. Once upon a time, while preparing for the yacht captain's license exam, my teacher, an experienced sea wolf, said: "If you want to pass the exam, learn everything from cover to cover. If you want to survive at sea, feel every line." These words, as well as the process of learning to sail, gave me valuable insights that are directly applicable to scheduling and network planning in megaprojects.
