How did we proceed?
Monitoring contractors’ schedules
Leveraging our planning expertise, we provide advice to the RWS project management team. Our focus is not only on the technical accuracy of the planning, but also on the logic, completeness, and alignment of each step with the internal expectations within the RWS team. We ensure that contractors’ schedules meet the required standards and align with internal expectations.
Ensuring a common language
While planning can be complex, clear communication should never be an obstacle. Within the organization, there was some confusion around project management terminology. We facilitated discussions on terms such as “critical path” and “total float” to ensure everyone shared the same understanding and expectations. By promoting this clarity, we helped foster clear communication across the project control team.
Managing OG schedules
To provide effective feedback to the contractor, it is crucial to maintain sharp coordination within the client team. The client schedule we manage offers transparency into the client team’s activities, ensuring alignment across all efforts and promoting better coordination.
Ensuring integrality risk and quality management
Together with the Haskoning team, we implemented an integrated approach to risk and quality management. We worked on making these aspects visible within the planning process, ensuring that potential risks and quality issues arising from the planning are identified early. By actively visualizing these risks and quality aspects, we provide a solid foundation for effective project control.
Creating individual overviews
Given the detailed nature of the planning, we create individual overviews that convey the key information clearly and concisely to the relevant team members. This ensures the information is accessible and fosters effective collaboration across the teams.
Coordination
With our involvement in multiple projects, we have the opportunity to create an overarching schedule and contribute to the creation of a comprehensive dashboard. Input from the individual schedules is used for more efficient capacity management. By creating an integrated overview and contributing to the dashboard, we provide the program team with a clear, organized perspective.
