Story Construction Selects Aurora-CCPM to Enhance Project Delivery

Story Construction has chosen Aurora-CCPM to complement its already industry-leading construction capability. Aurora-CCPM includes intelligent resource scheduling in conjunction with critical chain project management. Aurora-CCPM’s powerful multi-project scheduling capability, which can be used throughout the planning and execution process, provides efficiency and transparency while prioritizing what should be added next to the short-term lean construction visual planning board.

Aurora-CCPM also optimizes the original and ongoing schedule to calculate changes in the critical chain as projects progress. By providing automatic chain maintenance support for large and complex projects, Aurora-CCPM serves as an ideal fit seamless integration with current whiteboard and location-based scheduling systems.

Deepening the Value: What Aurora-CCPM Adds

Aurora-CCPM doesn’t treat projects as static networks of tasks—it embeds a living theory of how tasks, resources, buffers, and priorities should evolve over time. This live schedule is continuously refined as projects advance, tracking shifts in the critical chain and recalibrating priorities dynamically. Because the Aurora-CCPM’s scheduler leverages the sophisticated Aurora engine, it can handle large, complex schedules with any number of interdependencies and resource types.

One of the biggest operational benefits is automatic chain maintenance: as new tasks emerge or conditions change, Aurora-CCPM adjusts the chain intelligently rather than forcing planners to manually rework large swaths of the schedule. This capability is crucial for construction settings where field changes, delays, or unplanned scope often require rapid, reliable adaptation.

Aurora-CCPM also supports mixed-mode scheduling (forward, backward, or a combination) on a per-task basis. This flexibility means Story Construction can model all parts of a project that matches the reality of how it should be worked.

In addition, Aurora-CCPM  interfaces with existing tools—importing and exporting schedules to Primavera P6, MS Project,, and other enterprise systems. That makes integration smoother and lets Story Construction preserve established workflows while upgrading their scheduling intelligence.

Aurora-CCPM also provides conflict resolution support. When resource constraints or task interdependencies lead to conflicts, users can quickly click on a reported conflict and be taken directly to where in the network the conflict lies, enabling faster, more transparent decision-making.

To maintain trust and buy-in among stakeholders, Aurora-CCPM includes schedule rationale explanations—for each scheduled task, users can see the “why” behind its placement within the broader schedule. That transparency helps planners and executives understand trade-offs and deviations rather than treating the system as a black box.

Finally, in terms of scale, Aurora-CCPM is built to support large, multi-project portfolios. It handles tens of thousands of tasks per project, while still allowing rapid recomputation, what-if scenario exploration, and buffer analysis.
