Most large corporations or large projects require project risk analysis to verify
feasibility of the project. Whether the project is time or resource sensitive, risk
analysis helps identify problem
areas and help formulate a
mitigation plan. Here is why you
need a risk analysis:
7.4. To identify key risk drivers based on criticality, risk sensitivity and/or duration
sensitivity
7.7. Model both qualitatively and quantitatively positive and negative risk events
(threats and opportunities)
8.0. To develop a list of risk events and mitigation strategies to monitor throughout
execution of the project.
8.5. Determine the combined probability of achieving both given budgets and
completion dates together.
8.6. ‘what if…' analysis by interactively varying cost and schedule thresholds to
reveal the resultant chance of success.
8.7. Compare scenarios and determine the cost/benefit ratio of selected mitigation
plans.
Master Schedule
The master schedule shows all the activities in your project. The CPM (Critical Path
Method) activity bars, progress bars, and activity bars with floats clearly show you the
status of each activity.
Target/Baseline Schedule
The Target/baseline Schedule helps each stakeholder and team member quickly see
where they are now, compared to where they should be. Multiple targets/baselines can
be established throughout the project lifetime. When compared with the primary
target/baseline, you can determine true health of the project; the achievements, the
failures, and the problems. This provides legitimacy to change order requests, extra
payment requests, etc.
Pert Schedule
The Pert view helps you quickly evaluate, track, and adjust your network logic. It's a
great tool to have a bird-eye-view of your logic.
Gantt/Bar Charts
The Gantt/Bar chart view also helps you evaluate, track, and adjust your network logic.
It's another tool for improving project quality.
Resource
These reports provide information concerning proper allocation and utilization of project
resources. Are you 'redlined?' You can determine if you have the necessary resources
to complete the project on time. We suggest, three minimum project baselines to
control the project schedule, resources, and its scope.
Costs
Observe total cost of the project or easily determine the total cost incurred at any given
point in time. Also provides you information on difference between planned and actual
cost.
Cash flow analysis report helps you determine future projections of your project cash
flow. This report is critical for securing adequate amount of funding to properly execute
the project.
Variance
Keep track of your budget performance by viewing significant differences between what
you planned and what you actually spent.
Status Report
We compile for you a weekly or monthly status report. The report tracks items, such as,
meetings minutes, problems discussed, solutions proposed, and other general
information for the stakeholders and project team members.
Change Management
Using project management software, we can help you manage changes in your
project when they occur. We can also help you determine how these changes
affect the schedule and its cost. With this information in hand, you can answer
the question, 'Do we need extra time and funding to complete the work?'
Conflict Resolution
We can help you analyze the project problems and conflicts. If necessary, we
assist you and your legal team by reconstructing important schedule and cost
information to build your case. With the historical information in hand, we can
build a project schedule even after significant progress on the project has
occurred. We can then analyze the schedule variance and other information like
project cost, cost variance, and earned value.
Coding of Accounts
If you need help establishing a Code of Accounts, we can assist. Using a coding
feature, we can help you predict if more time or funding is required for your
project; even help you determine which activities need a special attention.
Monthly Updates
We can perform monthly update of actual work completed. We can collect this
information directly from the department manager, engineers, PM, or from
interim payment certificates.
A good schedule is a true representation of a good plan; if done correctly determines the
success of a project. In order to execute a good plan, a good schedule is essential.
Although putting a schedule together is not difficult, but having a high quality schedule
that is practical is rare. There are many experienced schedulers in the industry, but a
very few proactive ones to learn and build up a sufficient knowledge to put together a
top quality schedule.
Since quality of schedule is key to the success and failure of a project, the need for
having a system to determine the quality throughout schedule development,
maintenance, and execution holds prime importance. To bring your organization
excellence in scheduling, we brought together some of the few top ranking schedulers to
build a system to thoroughly check the quality of a schedule using our proprietary 200
point check system. The
system gives us ability to
point out weak areas in
your schedule and provide
you with suggestions how
to improve its quality.
We have reviewed hundreds of schedules and found a very few that are up to par. Most
schedules we reviewed had critical flaws if discovered later could have failed the project
miserably.
We provide our clients with solid suggestions how to improve the logic and functionality
of a schedule to make it more realistic and practical. Our suggestions have made a huge
difference in how the client planned to conduct the project and completed the project
successfully.
In addition to schedule quality review, we can also conduct project risk analysis on your
schedule to bring your attention to risks outside the schedule that may affect adversely
on your project. We help you formulate mitigation strategies to reduce/eliminate risk
impact. We guide you how to continuously monitor the mitigation plan and how to keep
your risk register updated.
Let us show you how we review your schedule and why such review is essential.
So, contact us for a review of your schedule today. We can do this online within a few
days on a minimal budget.
