Planning and controls for programmes that can’t slip.
Intelligent Planning Ltd is an independent UK planning and project controls consultancy for complex, regulated programmes, from rail possessions to nuclear assurance. We pair rigorous scheduling with modern data analytics and carefully applied AI.
20 years
of planning & controls experience
What we do
Three disciplines, one joined-up service.
We plan the work, control its delivery, and turn the resulting data into decisions.
Project Controls & Reporting
Earned value, S-curves, trend and variance analysis, and change control. Clear, plain-English reporting that tells directors what is really happening, and what to do about it.
AI, Data Analytics & BI
Power BI-style dashboards and schedule/cost data pipelines, plus AI applied with planning expertise: schedule-quality analysis, machine-assisted assurance and AI-augmented reporting. A tool we wield, never a gimmick, and we are just as happy delivering rigorous conventional analytics.
Sectors we serve
At home in regulated, high-stakes delivery.
Rail
Possession and blockade planning, GRIP/PACE-stage programmes and access-driven logic where the calendar is unforgiving.
Highways
Major schemes and maintenance programmes planned around live traffic, constraints and stakeholder windows.
Utilities
Regulated capital delivery on AMP- and RIIO-style cycles, with tight outage and interface windows to hold.
Nuclear
Security-aware, assurance-heavy environments where the schedule is evidence and traceability is everything.
Defence
Programme control in security-cleared, milestone-driven organisations that expect rigour as standard.
Charity
Right-sized controls that respect restricted funding and lean teams, discipline without overhead.
Free Primavera P6 tools
Runs entirely in your browser
Free, browser-based tools for Primavera P6 schedules.
Everything runs entirely in your browser. Your XER file is never uploaded and never leaves your device. No account, no sign-up, no tracking cookies.
We build the tools we wished we had on programme, a growing free toolkit. One example is the XER Path Analyser:
- Trace every activity on any path between two activities.
- Find orphaned activities with no logic link to project completion.
- Visualise how any path interacts with the critical path.
Because our clients run commercially and security-sensitive programmes, these tools are private by design: local-only processing, nothing transmitted.
Open the tool → drop in your .xer → analyse. Refresh the page and it’s gone.
Why Intelligent Planning
Senior people, real tooling, plain answers.
01
Experience that runs deep
Two decades planning and controlling major programmes, led by senior practitioners who do the work themselves, not a sales layer.
02
Regulated-sector fluency
We understand assurance, security clearance and the true cost of a slipped milestone across rail, nuclear, defence and utilities.
03
Tooling we build ourselves
The free P6 tools on this site come from the same engineering we bring to client work. We don’t just use the software, we extend it.
04
Plain-English business intelligence
Dashboards and narratives your board can act on, the analysis distilled to a decision, not a data dump.
