Module 7 - Progress Measurement - 1 Content Overview

This document provides an overview of an engineering training module on progress management. It includes background on the need for monitoring project progress and performance. The intent of the module is to teach discipline leads how to understand and apply progress measurement, earned value reporting, and forecasting to improve project cost and schedule management. The proposed content outline includes introductions to key topics like progress gates and indicators over a 6-hour session. Responsibilities and a development plan for rolling out the module by end of July 2009 are also outlined.

Module 7 – Progress Management


Overview of Module content and intent – Neil Grunwell (Rev.0 – 12th July 2009)

7 Dec 2021
Presentation Contents

 Background

 Intent of the Progress Management Module

 Training Materials and delivery method

 Brief overview / summary of proposed content

 Roles & Responsibilities

 Module Development Plan

2 7 Dec 2021
Background

 It is not sufficient for projects to simply collect hours and costs and
compare them to the budget

 Monitoring of progress and performance is a fundamental aspect of


project delivery that all discipline lead engineers and designers should
be familiar with and be able to apply

 WorleyParsons has an expectation that discipline leads will take


ownership of their discipline budgets and monitor / report progress (and
forecast work to complete) on a regular basis

 Incorrect project set-up and lack of progress monitoring (including


forecasting) are significant contributing factors to poor project
performance

3 7 Dec 2021
Intent of the Progress Management Module

 The desired outcome of the module is that the participant will


be able to demonstrate:
 Understanding of the impact of progress on the overall project cost
and schedule and why regular assessment of progress and
performance is imperative

 Understanding of the fundamentals of progress measurement &


budget management – and the role of the discipline lead engineer /
designer in the process

 Application of Progress Gates to both time based and deliverable


based activities

 Understanding of Earned Value and Forecast reporting against both


cost and schedule

 Ability to interrogate progress reports and diagnose issues


4 7 Dec 2021
Training Materials & Delivery Method

 Training materials will enable local face-to-face delivery of the training


and will include:

 Facilitator’s Presentation & Guidance notes


 Participant Guide
 Assessment Questions (with answers for facilitator)

 It is proposed that this module will incorporate practical exposure to the


Progress Update Module of InControl v8.0

 Following initial development of these materials, additional delivery


options will be looked at including on-line availability and video versions
