Cost Assurance Masterclass Part 2

This masterclass provides a comprehensive guide to cost assurance, moving beyond simple point estimates. It details a robust process for developing and evaluating probabilistic cost estimates, emphasizing the critical link between technical baselines, schedule, risk, and uncertainty. Learn best practices for data validation and creating credible, defensible estimates.

Cost Assurance Masterclass

This presentation offers a comprehensive guide to cost assurance, highlighting the necessity of accurate cost and schedule estimates for successful project outcomes. It explores various estimating methods, the end-to-end cost estimating process, and the significance of data, assumptions, and risk analysis, providing essential knowledge for project managers at all levels.

Establish the Project Schedule.

Developing an effective schedule is key to effective Earned Value. This session will look at how to develop a schedule that works covering: - Planning, strategy and scheduling. - Planning the schedule development. - Linking the schedule to the WBS and work packages. - Rolling Wave - adding detail at

The art of predicting project completion. A good baseline schedule is not enough!

A standard CPM schedule is a highly optimistic assessment of the likely project completion date! This 1-hour practical workshop identified the limitations of a CPM schedule (and why this is a good thing for managing the work). Plus the steps necessary to move from a standard CPM schedule to a

Controlling Projects Without a Critical Path

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

Baked In Optimism – Why so many projects fail

This webinar looks at two processes that are ‘baked into’ standard project management estimating and control to show how recommended good practices are still optimistically biased. - When preparing an estimate good practice recommends using Monte Carlo to determine an appropriate contingency and the level of risk to accept. However,

Why Is My Schedule Slipping – and what can I do about it?

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

An Overview of the Schedule Compliance Risk Assessment Methodology (SCRAM)

The Australian Defence Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG) Schedule Compliance Risk Assessment Methodology (SCRAM) provides a minimally disruptive, independent, non-attributional and non-advocate review process and framework for identifying root causes of schedule slippage and recommendations for going forward to senior and Executive-level management. SCRAM can be used at the

Introduction to Project Scheduling.

A schedule is fundamentally the decomposition of a project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The most widely used scheduling technique is the critical path method (CPM). CPM is mathematical analysis, which can be used on all types of projects that can be represented as a list of activities, each with an

Making the Schedule Great Again.

Again In 30 years working in projects there have been many change but some glaringly consistent constants: - There are not enough good planners and schedulers (and no one seems to be creating new ones anymore). - The project Schedule is often not used by the Project Manager to manage
