This webinar discusses developments in the control of projects that are not suited to traditional Critical Path scheduling (CMP). CPM assumes there is one right way to undertake the work of a project and this can be modelled in a CPM schedule.
However, experience shows there are many types of project where this assumption is simply not correct, including both agile and distributed projects. There is an ongoing level of flexibility in the sequencing of work that can be exploited to the benefit of the project and the client.
This presentation will:
(1) Define the characteristics of projects that are not suited to CPM, including agile, adaptive, and distributed projects.
(2) Briefly outline some of the contractual issues identified by the courts in attempting to apply CPM to this type of project.
(3) Describe an approach for managing this type of project based on agile and lean, while recognizing there are likely to be some mandatory sequences that must be followed.
(4) Suggest a framework for identifying progress and the predicted project completion date based on Earned Schedule concepts.
(5) Suggest a methodology for assessing delay and disruption in this type of project.
