Control project progress against agreed programmes
Overview
"This standard is about controlling progress processes and procedures, making improvements as a result of monitoring and feedback from others in accordance with current organisational requirements which are equal to or exceed current statutory and legislative requirements.
This standard is for people working in the occupational area of construction site management which is defined as the management of multiple construction trades and disciplines and can be used by supervisors and managers"
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
"P1 implement and monitor at least four of the following systems
to record the progress of the project against the agreed
programme(s)
1.1 visual inspection(s)
1.2 resource records
1.3 site inspection reports
1.4 contractor’s report
1.5 written, graphical and electronic records of the actual
work against the programmed work
1.6 site meetings
1.7 organisational procedures
1.8 management reports
1.9 benchmarks
1.10 comparison with project requirements
P2 collect and record progress information regularly and
summarise it for stakeholders
P3 identify and record inadequate or inappropriate resources,
recommend alternative resources and pass the information to
stakeholders
P4 identify, quantify and record any identified or predicted
deviations from planned progress which have or may occur
P5 identify and record the circumstances of any deviations and
identify corrective actions
P6 recommend options to stakeholders that allow the
programme to be maintained
P7 inform stakeholders about changes to the operational
programme
P8 suggest, implement and record the decisions and actions that
need to be taken to maintain progress
P9 identify and record improvements to the programme from
feedback received and inform stakeholders"
