• We have a good PM system in place, don’t worry.• Trust our very experienced team. Everything’s fine.• No problem, everything is under control.• No worries, we have been there, done that.• Please, we don’t need anything new.• Another new technology, another tool, again!gy, , g

So they know what they areSo, they know what they are talking about. Right?

Top 5 Causes of Failure

• REQUIREMENTS: Unclear, lack of agreement, lack of priority, contradictory, ambiguous, imprecise

• RESOURCES: Lack of resources, resource conflicts, turnover of key resources, poor planning

• SCHEDULES: Too tight, unrealistic, overly optimistic• PLANNING: Based on insufficient data, missing items,

i ffi i t d t il ti tinsufficient details, poor estimate• RISKS & OPPORTUNITIES: Unidentified or assumed,

PTM – Schedule Dev. Inputs

• Planners develop the project schedule by using:• Available templates• Available quantities, resources and productivity rates• Available work/scope statementsp• Available construction logic, and• Other assumptions e.g. calendars, PMP, etc.p g , ,

With all those uncertainties in the inputs and theWith all those uncertainties in the inputs and the possible risks and opportunities in the schedule, the question is, how confident we are in this schedule?

PTM – Major Challenges

• Uncertainties due to assumptions• Logic, constraints, resources, calendars and activity

durations are not always clear and agreed• What-If Scenarios, and• Risks and Opportunities

To have a realistic schedule, the Schedule Development h ld b i d b i S h d l i kprocess should be improved by using Schedule Risk 

Analysis.  In other words Project Time Management and Project Risk Management need to be integrated!

PCM – Process

• Cost Estimating – developing an approximation of the costs of the resources needed to complete project

i i iactivities.• Cost Budgeting – aggregating the estimated costs of

i di id l ti iti k k t t bli hindividual activities or work packages to establish a cost baseline.

• Cost Control influencing the factors that create cost• Cost Control – influencing the factors that create cost variances and controlling changes to the project budget. g

PCM – Software

• Software, like cost estimating software applications, computerised spreadsheets, and simulations and

i i l l id l d i i hstatistical tools are widely used to assist with cost estimating.

To have a realistic estimate, the Cost Estimating process h ld b i d b i C i k l i (C )should be improved by using Cost Risk Analysis (CRA). In other words Project Cost Management (PCM) and Project Risk Management (PRM) need to be integrated!

PCM – Risk Assessment

• Risk Assessment includes:• Risk Identification (both Uncertainties and Events)• Risk Analysis

• Qualitative 

• Semi‐Quantitative Risk Analysis

• Quantitative

Ri k E l ti• Risk Evaluation

The goal is to have a better understanding of risks / g g /opportunities and their overall impact on project schedule and cost to see the plan in ONE integrated picture.

S/C/R Integration – Special Conditions

• Special conditions that require extra attention:• Probabilistic Branching – which considers the

situation where the outcome of an event can cause two or multiple possible courses of activities

• Correlation between risks• Positive Correlation: occurs when one risk goes higher, so must 

the otherthe other.

• Negative or Adverse Correlation: occurs when one risk increases, the other must decrease. 

• Inclement Weather or other external influences

Page 41: PD - Contract and Risk Conference - Integrated Schedule Cost Risk Analysis for Major Projects 31 Mar 11

S/C/R Integration – Simulation

• The S/C/R Model should be simulated with multiple scenarios of the project using random samplings of h l i k d i i id i h ithe relevant risks and opportunities considering their probability and impact.T l th d• Two popular methods:

• Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) – faster method but has a larger possibility of sampling errorg p y p g

• Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) – slower method but less sampling errors

S/C/R Integration – Treatment Plan

• The accuracy of the S/C/R Integration outcomes should be improved through a number of iterations of this process.

• Based on the initial results, the team should:h & d k d f h d• Review the R&O Register and make modifications where required

• Make changes to the Model accordingly

• Run the simulation again and repeat the process to achieve theRun the simulation again and repeat the process to achieve the most cost‐effective risk mitigation plan

• Finalise the Risk Treatment Plan as well as the Contingency Plan

• Management Approval, and

• Communicate this plan with the team and then monitor it
