Effective Planning and Execution of Oil and Gas Projects

---

Disciplines: Projects, Facilities, and Construction

Course Description

Statistics indicate that two out of three projects have difficulties meeting the three successful criteria: delivered on time, with a final actual cost on or below budget, and in full compliance with the requirements.

In this course, you will learn an effective integrated project planning and execution methodology based on project results (deliverables and work packages). In the first day, participants will review current practices and compare the traditional planning versus an integrated planning technique to facilitate the scope definition and to better control the construction of projects, regardless of size or complexity. On the second day, participants will practice the integrated planning and execution technique, simulating in a workshop, a case study project using Inexertus’s software application. Participants may bring their own project to the workshop simulation.

Topics:

• Project management review
  
• Enhancement of project performance (effective integrated approach)
  
• Scope definition (traditional planning versus integrated planning))
  
• Baseline plan (performance measurement baseline – project work plan)
  
• Project performance (earned value – earned schedule)
  
• Performance measurement (monitoring project progress during construction)
  
• Change management (the triple constraint – re-baseline development)
