Case study: The application of Earned Schedule on two IT projects, demonstrating quantifiable cost and
schedule performance improvements.
The project baseline provides the foundation for effectively managing a project and measuring progress against plan. This presentation looks at the Earned Value Project Management (EVPM) processes used to establish a project baseline and provides an overview of the conduct of the Integrated Baseline Review (IBR) that confirms the viability and approves the Performance Measurement Baseline.
An overview on the progress of WBS and EVM standards being developed by ISO TC 258.
Kym Henderson was one of the key contributors to the development of ISO 21508 and ISO 21511 (WBS) and lead the Standards Australia project to adopt 21508, upgraded to include a normative annex customised to the needs of Australian contract managers. This is a unique opportunity to understand the practical implications of how AS/ISO 21508 will affect your projects in the future from the person who literally ‘wrote the book’.
As the convenor and Project Leader for the current ISO TC258 WG12, EVM Implementation Guide project, Core writing team member for ISO TC 258 WG7 which developed the published global ISO EVM Standard (21508:2018) and Chair PGCS Ltd, Kym Henderson will provide an overview of the ISO EVM Standard, Australia’s modified adoption as AS4817-2019 and the under-development ISO EVM Implementation Guide. His position enables Kym to provide unique insights on the standards development process, considerations and issues which lead to the ISO EVM Standard being the published standard that it is and the current status and challenges of developing the ISO EM Implementation Guide during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the convenor and Project Leader for the current ISO TC258 WG12, EVM Implementation Guidance project and previously Core writing team member for ISO TC 258 WG7 which developed the global ISO EVM Standard (21508:2018) and Chair PGCS Ltd, Kym Henderson is uniquely positioned to provide a global perspective on the current ‘state of play with EVM globally and what this could mean for Australia. This presentation provides an overview of:
• ISO 21512 EVM Implementation Guidance The companion standard to ISO 21508: 2018 which provides guidance on “how to” effectively implement EVM.
• A “lookahead” on what is in the pipeline with a refresh to ISO 21508:2018 and ISO 21511:2018 (Work breakdown structures for project and programme management) and what these updates may mean for Australia.
How can formal standards enable agility and accelerated delivery? This presentation showcases the new ISO EVM Implementation Guidance, debunking myths about Agile and EVM incompatibility. Learn how data-driven discipline from ISO standards is essential for diagnosing delays, identifying acceleration opportunities, and successfully delivering capability at speed.
Closing the 2024 symposium, this presentation celebrates a record attendance of over 465 participants and highlights the outstanding quality of the sessions. It also announces the theme for PGCS 2025: “More speed, less haste: returning to fundamentals,” and calls for research proposals addressing contemporary project delivery challenges.
This presentation will provide an update and lookahead on the ISO P3M standards under development by ISO TC258 and discuss their potential relevance to Australia.
