Front End Planning Process

October 25, 2022/in Best Practice, Project Management/by Elnaz Khaleghi

Do you want to keep on top of your projects? Are you thinking about having greater inﬂuence over your projects?

At PTAG, we focus on creating a strong and early link between the business or mission, project strategy, scope, cost, and schedule, and maintaining that link unbroken throughout the project life. A well-performed front-end planning process can reduce costs, lead to less project variability in cost, schedule, and operating characteristics, and increase the chance of meeting a project’s environmental and social goals.

Successful projects execute front end planning (FEP) differently than less successful projects — specifically concerning information flow activities. These differences include more time spent and more resources utilized while planning projects.

The following figure illustrates the three sub-phases of FEP in the context of the typical life cycle of a project.

Steps In Construction Dispute Resolution

October 11, 2022/in Best Practice, Project Controls, Project Management/by Elnaz Khaleghi

How much time do you spend managing conflicts in your projects?

In the construction industry, disputes are common. Identifying the aspects of a project that can lead to disputes early on and the steps required to resolve them is crucial for successful projects.

PTAG has industry specific teams ready to review the causes and administrative costs of such claims, recommend procedures for avoiding claims and investigate alternatives for the early, equitable settlement of claims. Dispute Review Boards (DRB) can be an effective way to facilitate timely on-site resolution of disputes, preventing matters from escalating costs and timelines. 

To create a comprehensive system for dispute prevention and resolution, a project must:

Start Right
Stay Right
Provide for Resolution

Within the bounds of feasibility, PTAG provides the solutions for your project’s requirements.

Principles of Effective Change Management

September 12, 2022/in Best Practice, Project Controls, Project Management/by Elnaz Khaleghi

Change is complicated and understanding what to avoid is just as crucial as understanding what to do. Most capital projects face unexpected changes which can lead to problems and hinder project success if not properly anticipated and addressed.

PTAG helps clients make better decisions about how to implement a change management program most efficiently. Significant savings in total installed costs of projects are achievable by improving the management of changes.

An effective change management process recognizes change as a modification to an agreement between project participants.

At PTAG, we are familiar with the complexity and depth of our client’s projects. We work alongside our clients to develop and put into action solutions that directly and effectively address the full spectrum of capital project issues.

Organizational Alignment For a Project

September 6, 2022/in Best Practice, Project Management/by Elnaz Khaleghi

Is your project keeping up? Does your project address the various phases of the project lifecycle?

Project Team Alignment is the procedure of integrating all various priorities and needs into a uniform set of project goals that fulfill the operational requirements of the proposed facility.

Proper scope definition and alignment during pre-project planning will significantly improve the cost and cycle time needed to design and construct capital facilities.
