Project Management
Made Simple.

Conception & Initiation

Excepteur sint occaecat cupid Working on the Concept and initiation of a project can be an interesting time, where you use Filtering methods to look at the best concepts for your project, removing the undesirable options and preparing a Project definition, or a scope of works that is deliverable and achievable. A Feasibility study could be completed as part of the development of the initial Concept.

Planning

My old boss and mentor preached that a project can be properly managed with one thing, a resource and cost loaded schedule. These days there is so much choice with planning features and analytical data within the planning software packages.The planning basics is what HPL preach, list your tasks correctly by discipline, provide an estimation time for that task and most importantly understand how all tasks are linked together.

Execution

Project execution is the stage of the project where everything your team has planned is put into action. This is an opportunity to break down the project into smaller milestones and assign them to the team. The project team must make all effort to execute the project work on time and ensure all checks, certificates and authorisations are in place before the construction starts.  A Project Execution Plan (PEP) provides the details of how the team will execute and control the project.

Performance / Monitoring

Goals are important for any project because they act as a guide. But just setting an objective isn’t enough. You need to make it a point to check if you’re achieving them. Project monitoring is all about comparing actual performance to the goals you set. If you’re not hitting milestones (e.g., delivering a stage of Construction within a specified time), the project has a high chance of failure.
