Project Controls
Do you have the information you need to control your project?
A project can have a detailed schedule, regular reports and numerous KPIs — and still be difficult to control.
Effective project controls are about more than producing reports.
They are about having reliable information, clear visibility and enough time to act before problems become critical.
I help organizations establish, review and improve the controls needed to understand where a project really stands.
The Control Framework
My approach brings together the key elements required for effective project control:
Schedule
Planning, WBS, activities, milestones, dependencies, critical path and baseline management.
Progress
Measuring actual progress against the approved plan and identifying deviations early.
Cost & Resources
Understanding resource requirements, productivity, cost impacts and project performance.
Risk
Identifying risks, dependencies and constraints that may affect time, cost or delivery.
Reporting
Turning project data into clear and useful information for management and stakeholders.
What I Can Support
Depending on the project situation, support may include:
- Schedule review and improvement
- WBS and planning structure
- Baseline development and maintenance
- Critical path analysis
- Progress measurement methodology
- Earned progress / performance monitoring
- Schedule variance analysis
- Delay and slippage analysis
- Resource loading and assessment
- Risk and dependency monitoring
- Project dashboards and reporting
- Management reporting
- Recovery monitoring
- Project controls health checks
Review or Ongoing Support
Not every organization needs another full-time project controls team.
I can provide either a focused review and improvement exercise or, where appropriate, ongoing senior project controls support, typically on a limited part-time basis.
The scope can be adapted to the maturity of the existing project controls environment.
Turning Data Into Direction
Project controls should not simply tell you what happened.
They should help answer:
Where are we?
Why are we here?
What happens if we do nothing?
What needs to happen next?
That is where experienced project controls make a difference.
