Technical Program:
Better Project Control Through
Better Project Execution
Project controls have been a
primary focus of project improvement for decades. Organizations such as AACE have published a
library of knowledge and recommended practices on estimating, cost control,
scheduling, and risk management. Each
year, new software capabilities are introduced promising more data integration
and collaboration than ever before. Experts in CPM scheduling and risk management
have developed sophisticated algorithms to attempt to correct for inaccurate
estimating and project controls information.
Perhaps it is time to think beyond collecting
data, performing analysis and publishing reports or charts. Interestingly, the most recent updates to
AACE recommended practices are revised to include more granular definitions of
deliverables. What if there were much
better definition of deliverables? And
what if those deliverables could be chronologically mapped; showing internal
and external dependencies – all in a stage-gated environment? This paper will focus on how to improve
project controls reliability using project execution processes for engineering,
procurement, construction, and commissioning.
Project execution processes qualitatively
prescribe criteria required to earn progress.
Subsequently, this yields improved reliability of progress data
collected, which subsequently results in increased reliability of project
controls analysis and reporting.
