AWP is a collaborative approach to project delivery, that aligns engineering, procurement, and construction; with a focus on early planning. This presentation will offer an overview of Advanced Work Planning and Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) and how these concepts can be used to improve the baseline CPM schedule.
Effective project governance models support project success and enhanced organizational performance. This presentation introduces a project governance model with a particular focus on the role of the project owner.
This paper looks at the role of the benefits owner in the PM literature, PM methodologies, impressions and observations of the PM practitioners in the PSOs and how this role can enhance benefits realization in the public sector.
The Sophisticated Problem Solver: Separating Idea Generation from Idea Evaluation. Teresa Lawrence.
In life and in work, we encounter problems, challenges, and opportunities. In this session, attendees learn ground rules, thinking tools and experience the power that comes when we separate idea generation from idea evaluation. This “dynamic balance” between divergent thinking (a broad search for many diverse and novel alternatives) and
The State of Project Controls – Implications for Cost Professionals
Independent Project Analysis Inc. (IPA) guides capital intensive organisations to establish the right combination of people, work process, and governance to maximise cost, schedule, safety, and operability performance. We conduct independent empirical research, benchmarking and consulting globally using a dataset of nearly 21,000 capital projects (including 1,200 projects executed in
Towards Practical & Innovative Governance in Complex Projects: Integrating Paradoxes, Complexity, & Contingency Perspectives
Governance in complex projects encompasses structures, processes, and mechanisms that facilitate decision-making, coordination, accountability, and stakeholder alignment throughout the project lifecycle. However, the inherent complexities of such projects—characterised by high uncertainty, interdependencies, and shifting stakeholder demands—make effective governance a continuous challenge. Traditional governance models often struggle to accommodate the dynamic
Tracking Scope, Schedule, & Cost in Complex & Dynamic Agile/Hybrid Delivery Environments
Transforming Infrastructure with Digital Engineering
Digital Engineering (DE) is currently transforming the way projects are planned and delivered, and in future will enable the vision for smart infrastructure and integrated digital twins. For DE to provide the greatest benefits, asset data and information must be created and managed using consistent standards and digital processes. Transport
True Innovation is Successful Implementation of Lessons Learned
This session provides the detailed roadmap that every Owner and Contractor should follow, and support the map directions with several case studies of actual projects, as well as identification of symptoms that provide key performance indicators to ensure the mapped path is followed.
Topics:
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is crucial for managing complexity and improving project outcomes. This presentation showcases MBSE's application in mission engineering, cybersecurity, and supply chain management. Discover how MBSE enhances requirements traceability, enables early defect detection, and provides a foundation for the broader digital engineering ecosystem.
Update on Progress with the Development of ISO Project Management Standards and the Consequences for Australia!
The mission of Technical Committee 258 (ISO/TC 258) is to develop and maintain guidance standards and other ISO documentation regarding the management and governance of projects, programmes, and portfolios. The objective of the TC is to provide the global marketplace with a common understanding and vocabulary with which to practice
This presentation offers some insights into the background to the US Congress passing the Project Management Improvement Accountability Act (PMIAA).
Using CPM to Solve Each Projects Inherent Time Cost Problem
The impetus for originally developing the critical path method was as a way to plan a project’s duration that minimises the project’s overall cost (and the cost for all other feasible durations). The steps and trade-off calculations required to solve this inherent time-cost problem, despite being of primary importance to
This paper shows how cultural change was introduced into a rural, small to medium, Construction Company, using EVPM to manage increasing workload and tight resources and market conditions for a low cost.
This presentation covers some use cases of how Transport for NSW is using data and Data Science Initiatives (DSIs) to deliver smart infrastructure and improve customer. It also covers how data is enabling better investment decisions specifically in the Active Transport area to promote Walking & Cycling.

Requirements gathering is a time-consuming core project function. This presentation from Strategium demonstrates how Generative AI can significantly accelerate this process. Discover the AI Storm Feature Generator, a tool that rapidly generates a comprehensive first draft of features and acceptance criteria from a simple project concept.
Every year $billions are lost as a consequence of poor project performance on one basis of calculation the rate of loss is $85,000/seconds! While improvement is obviously needed, most research on improving project performance is focused on improving the execution of the plan. However, project overruns are not always the
Can Earned Value Alone Get Us To Our Destination? • How do we increase visibility into program performance? • How do we reduce cycle time to deliver the product? • How do we foster accountability? • How do we reduce risk? • How do we start our journey to success?
Utilising of AI/ML technology in project Controls will be done in 2 stages; 1. historical data for similar projects in a different discipline; collected from As-Built Model, including 4D and 5D data and the validated previous stored projects' data. 2. Current project cost/time performance considering expected risks (EVM calculation with
What makes for Successful Infrastructure Delivery
The issues faced by major infrastructure are not new, however many of the people dealing with them are. How do you overcome this 'churn' and maintain a learning perspective in high pressure constant tension environment? Come and hear Damon's view on what we do well, with the contracting market constantly
With strategic warning times gone, schedule is now sovereign for Defence capability delivery. This presentation moves beyond past failures, outlining five key principles from a portfolio perspective. Learn why data-driven decisions, transparent control of variation, accountable action on risks, rigorous planning, and a culture of transparency are essential.
For many years, opportunity was regard as the way to cancel out risk - the zero-sum game, that meant there was no need to fund risk mitigation. But thinking has matured to a degree since then. And pundits have long since stopped describing risk and opportunity as simply the flip
Why a complexity-based view of project delivery is becoming even more important.
Delivering projects in an environment exhibiting volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) characteristics requires special treatment using tools and methods designed for use in these types of environments. However, many conventional project management methods, methodologies, frameworks, and bodies of knowledge used today are based on a linear and deterministic (controllable
According to a Gartner Survey (2012) "The single most common reason that projects are considered a failure is because they are substantially late". Two-thirds of the survey respondents consider the challenges of bringing projects in on time, on budget and with the agreed functionality as the primary causes of project
