Pre-Project Planning, including the Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) - 8 hours
This course includes an overview of the pre-project planning process and its benefits including organizing for pre-project planning, selecting alternatives, developing the project definition package, and making the project authorization decision. The PDRI are easy-to-use tools for measuring the degree of scope development in either industrial projects or building projects. It identifies and precisely describes each of 70 critical elements in industrial projects and 64 critical elements in building projects in a scope definition package, and allows a project team to quickly predict factors impacting project risk.
Scope Control and Change Management - 4 hours
Scope control and change management are processes vital to any project and are addressed in this module. Scope control is a preventative process that starts with a detailed project scope and ensures discipline in changing the scope during project execution. Change management involves the process for managing all changes that occur on a project. This module provides insight and tools to improve project scope control and management of change.
Development and Alignment of Project Objectives - 4 hours
Development and Alignment of Project Objectives presents a process for effectively incorporating the input of all project stakeholders to develop aligned project objectives. The alignment process and assessment tools, such as the alignment thermometer, are demonstrated in a group exercise.
Team Building - 8 hours
The course focuses on the process of bringing the project participants together into an effective project team. Recognizing the role of project leadership, the value of teamwork to project success, understanding the team building process, and applying team building techniques to managing projects are the foundation of the course. Specific team building tools to be presented include: Team Charter, Dispute Resolution Process, Expectations Matrix, Roles/Responsibilities Matrix, and Recognition/Rewards.
Project Constructability - 8 hours
The course presents 14 constructability concepts that can be used in company-level and project-level constructability programs. Participants analyze practical examples of constructability implementation programs.
Prefabrication, Preassembly, Modularization, and Off-Site Fabrication (PPMOF) - 4 hours
This course focuses on early planning and decision making activities and factors that are critical to effective exploitation of the potential of PPMOF for some projects. The course reviews the drivers and impediments to PPMOF, presents a tool for PPMOF decision making that helps create project alignment, and encourages thorough analysis. The participants will use the decision tool and will work through case studies as small teams.
