How do you usually ensure a project runs on schedule?

To ensure this, I would love to have the stand-up calls with the team on the daily basis. Following the agile methodology here, we will use the stand-up calls to assign or track the work, with this approach we can easily ensure that our project is running on or before the schedule. If at any point, I found that we might get delayed we can easily raise the alarm to client or business stakeholders and look out for the solution of getting delayed.
