Key Points in Project Set-up
◼ Create Project Management Plan (PMP)
◼ Be clear of scope and objectives
◼ Establish clear statement of what is to be
done (WBS)
◼ Establish Risks to be Managed
◼ Establish Costs and Durations
◼ Establish Resources Required

Project Management Plan - PMP
◼ Master Document for Project
◼ Defines the following:-
Project Objectives, Scope, Deliverables
Stakeholders (Internal & External)
Work to be done (WBS)
Project Organisation and Resources
Project Costings
Project Schedule
Procurement/Contract Strategy
Risk Management

Project Planning
◼ Adequate planning leads to the correct
completion of work
7
◼ Inadequate planning leads to frustration
towards the end of the project & poor
project performance
Project Start Project End
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)◼ The Work Breakdown Structure is the
foundation for effective project planning, costing
and management.
◼ It is the most important aspect in setting-up a
Project
◼ It is the foundation on which
everything else builds
8
“A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical
(from general to specific) tree structure of
deliverables and tasks that need to be performed
to complete a project.”

Project Planning – WBS (1)
◼ Lowest Level of WBS is the Work Package
(WP)
◼WP can be clearly defined allowing package
to be costed, scheduled and resourced
◼WP contains a list of Tasks to be Performed
that form the basis for the Schedule
◼WP allows assignment of responsibilities
(Work Package Leader, WPL)
10
Project Planning – WBS (2)
◼WBS allows hierarchical build-up of costs
and schedule
◼Cost and Schedule can be reported at any
level of the WBS
◼WBS facilitates strong management during
project execution (Cost and Schedule
control)
◼WBS can be used for many other things -
Document Management, Risk Management
etc.11
Project Planning
◼A word about Scheduling
– Schedules (task durations) can have a wide
variation
– There is no unique answer. Rather, there is a
statistical variation depending on assumptions
– Need to understand the basis of scheduling
(Most challenging; Most likely; Absolute certainty
- bet your life on it!)
– Most people are very optimistic / naive

Project Risk Management
20
Project Risk – Definition
“Project risk is an uncertain event or condition
that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative
effect on a project objective”
21
“A combination of the probability of a defined
threat or opportunity (Likelihood) and the
magnitude of the consequences of the
occurrence (Impact) defines a Risk Index”
Risk Impact
Threat → Scope → Poor Quality Product
Threat → Schedule → Late Delivery
Threat → Cost → Overspend
◼ In addition there are health, safety and
environmental threats that must be
managed (OSHA Regulations)
22
Risk Management Process
◼ Identify Risks
◼Assess likelihood and impact
◼Rank risks and prioritise
◼Define risk management approach & actions
◼ Implement actions
◼Monitor & review

Project Monitoring
◼Typical Monitoring Activities
– regular reviews of progress against schedule
using WBS as basis (Plan against Baseline)
– regular review of actual costs (O/P from SAP)
against budgeted costs and Earned Value at
WBS level
– regular review of resource loading
– regular progress meetings with project team
– regular meetings with contractors
– production of periodic progress reports
– risk reviews
– inspections/ audits27
Project Control
◼Typical Control Activities
– assign responsibilities at Work Package level
– staged authorisation of work to be done
– staged release of budgets (staged release of
WBS(e) numbers)
– ensure PM has a ‘Management Reserve’ under
his control
– seek corrective action reports when WPs go ‘off
track’ (overrunning or overspending)
– release Management Reserve carefully
