Are you constantly battling project overruns and unanticipated changes? Do you find yourself struggling to explain why project schedules and budgets spiral out of control?
In the dynamic landscape of project management, the ability to adapt and manage change is not just beneficial; it’s essential. Despite best efforts in planning, many projects still face unexpected setbacks that lead to cost overruns and delayed timelines. This is where the importance of a robust Management of Change (MOC) process becomes clear.
According to a 2015 Construction Industry Institute study, poor planning, scope creep, and inadequate change management are among the primary contributors to project failure. Management of Change (MOC) not only addresses these issues but also provides actionable strategies to mitigate them.
Rigorous and comprehensive Management of Change is fundamental in maintaining control over your projects and is considered the core of effective project controls.
But… do you have a well-established change management process in your company? Do you know how to tackle changes in your projects effectively?
We invite you to join us for an insightful 90-min masterclass where we delve deep into the Management of Change (MOC), a critical yet often overlooked cornerstone of project controls.
In this masterclass, Richard Stack, a senior project controls leader with over 40 years of experience alongside your host, Shohreh Ghorbani, from Project Control Academy, will cover the essentials of integrating changes effectively into your project controls processes.
You will learn how to incorporate scope changes into your Cost Reports, CPM Schedules, and Project Progress Curves. Discover the significance of the ‘saw-tooth’ pattern in project tracking and why it’s crucial for maintaining up-to-date and accurate project forecasts.
You’ll delve into three critical aspects of MOC—Project Management of Change, Cost Engineering Management of Change, and Post-Award Contract Change. Understanding and implementing these facets can significantly enhance your capacity to manage changes and focus on the sources and reasons behind these adjustments.
Furthermore, this masterclass will equip you with strategies to ensure that Project Control plays a pivotal role in the Contract Change process.
