Only a profitable organization can remain “on the scene”, and manage succesful project compeltion.

A company can only re-invest the anticipated profit margins if it employs a PROJECT CONTROL system that provides employees a framework to effectively control key milestones and expenditures on contracted work.

The key secret: ‘CONTROL’ is a PRO-ACTIVE activity.  It requires that an influence be exercised that positively affects the outcome. This means that the person seeking to control a project must take ACTION based on a well-defined plan, as opposed to REACTING to events after they have happed.

Control is not about fixing problems as much as about preventing problems and causing desired outcomes.

This two-day course provides an insight into the project control environment for small, medium, to large projects either within a multiple or single project environment; presents the necessity of planning and how to establish the baseline plan for both cost and schedule; teaches fundamentals of cost and schedule monitoring, and provides for project controls including status, progress, updates, variances, forecast, and measuring project performance

 

Objectives:

Participants are expected to be able:

  • To explain the project  control cycle
  • Prepare cost & schedule baseline
    • Measure and analyze cost/schedule  performance
  • Manage influencing factors impacting final completion and cost of project
  • Take preventive actions prior to incurrence of unnecessary costs
