Developing & Maintaining the Project Schedule
I will work to develop your project's programme from all aspects. I will create the project schedule, create the resources profile and the project's cashflow as well. Furthermore, I will be conducting the schedule update in a weekly/monthly basis and obtaining the major KPIs by comparing the actual progress against the planned progress.
Project milestones: Make it easier for project managers to convey status updates to stakeholders. Can be used to determine when vendors and external collaborators are paid. Help project managers keep track of the schedule and whether teams are on time or falling behind.
Creating Activity List
The entire schedule activities that are scheduled and performed on the project are compiled into a single list which will be used as the basis for obtaining the duration and resources of each of the project package
Estimating Tasks Duration
Estimate Activity Durations is the process of estimating the number of work periods needed to complete individual activities with estimated resources. The key benefit of this process is that it provides the amount of time each activity will take to complete, which is a major input into the Develop Schedule process.
Schedule Links & Correlation
Sequence Activities is the process of identifying and documenting relationships among the project activities. A benefit of this process is that it identifies a logical sequence of work, which in turn will help the project team work more efficiently.
Define Project Milestones
Resources & Cost Loaded Schedule.
Schedules with resources of staff, facilities, cost, equipment and materials which are needed to complete the activities required.
Resources
The Resources that will be loaded to schedule such as;
Direct Manpower - Skilled labors
Direct Manpower - Non Skilled Labors
Indirect Manpower - Engineering & Technical Supervision
Material Such as (Structure, Mechanical, Electrical )
Equipment (Production Machinery + Transportation)
Costs
The Project Cost will be uploaded to the schedule. the breakdown of the cost will follow the same hierarchies o the project's priced BOQ or similar document. each of the project's physical activity will handle the associated cost and the activities list will ramp up the total package cost, and the project total cost in a high level.
Schedule Monitoring & Controling
SCHEDULE DELAYS
& CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS
My core work will focus in providing insight to the project delays by comparing the planned dates against the forecasted dates for each of the project milestones. The said comparison will provide the total delay for each milestone as well as the project's overall delays.
Additionally, I will provide clear picture of the project critical paths and the project longest path as each time I will run the schedule update
EARNED VALUE INDICES & PROGRESS KPI
Earned Value Indices EVM are those Indices in project management that used to measure how closely the current project performance is aligning to the baseline. They are ratios that compare data points related to schedule and cost. The Important Indices will include
% Planned Vs % Actual
Schedule Variance
Schedule Performance Index SPI
