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.
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

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,
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
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
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
This paper describes a new project management model, the location-work breakdown matrix. It represents a fundamental shift in the way location is handled in project breakdown structures. This can improve efficiency in establishing projects, in scheduling and managing projects and can provide better control and earlier warning of problems in
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
This education session covers: - What is Project Scheduling? - Scheduling Definitions and Basics - Scheduling techniques & CPM, and - Basics of schedule review and analysis.
