Effective Project Control
Systems for Post Crisis Developments

The Effective Project Control Systems for Post Crisis Developments Course gives project controls, planning, and project management professionals a comprehensive, technically rigorous framework for establishing and managing enterprise project control systems — covering WBS development, scheduling and baselining, earned value management, delay analysis, disruption and recovery planning, risk quantification, and contract change management in the context of post-crisis project environments.

Post-crisis project environments demand a level of project controls rigour that standard practice rarely provides. Supply chain disruptions, resource volatility, regulatory changes, revised project scopes, and accumulated delays create a complex control environment where traditional approaches to scheduling, cost management, and delay analysis are frequently insufficient.

This course addresses every dimension of that challenge from Enterprise Project Control System design and ePCS team roles, through schedule baselining, earned value metrics and KPIs, progress measurement systems, concurrent delay analysis using the SCL Protocol, Time Impact Analysis, Monte Carlo risk simulation, contract change management, and record management — all anchored in practical case studies and workshops integrated throughout every day.

The Effective Project Control Systems for Post Crisis Developments Course is built for project controls professionals who want the technical depth, analytical tools, and governance frameworks to establish and operate project control systems that perform under the pressure and complexity of post-crisis project delivery.

The Effective Project Control Systems for Post Crisis Developments Course is designed to develop comprehensive project controls capability from ePCS design and scheduling through earned value management, delay analysis, risk quantification, and contract change management.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain project lifecycle stages, gating systems, and the need for an Enterprise Project Control System
• Describe ePCS modules, team roles and responsibilities, and how ePCS addresses post-crisis project challenges
• Develop WBS and OBS structures, create and baseline project schedules, and apply different schedule updating methods
• Apply resource requirements analysis and develop resource plans within ePCS frameworks
• Develop project budgets using Cost Breakdown Structures and apply Earned Value Management metrics including SV, CV, SPI, CPI, and TCPI
• Apply progress measurement systems and reporting disciplines across project phases
• Define and classify project delays and apply concurrent delay analysis using the SCL Protocol
• Apply Time Impact Analysis, Windows Analysis, and other delay analysis methods and evaluate delay damages and disruption costs
• Develop acceleration and recovery plans and quantify associated costs
• Apply risk assessment, Monte Carlo simulation for risk quantification, and contract change management and record management disciplines

The Effective Project Control Systems for Post Crisis Developments Course is designed for project controls, planning, and project management professionals who are responsible for establishing, managing, or improving project control systems in post-crisis or complex project delivery environments.

This course is suitable for:

• Project controls managers and specialists responsible for scheduling, earned value management, and project performance reporting
• Planning engineers developing and maintaining project schedules, baselines, and resource plans within ePCS frameworks
• Cost engineers managing project budgets, earned value analysis, and cost performance reporting
• Delay analysts and claims professionals applying SCL Protocol, TIA, and Windows Analysis to construction and infrastructure delay claims
• Contract managers and commercial professionals managing contract changes, disruption costs, and acceleration claims
• Risk management professionals applying Monte Carlo simulation and quantitative risk analysis to project control scenarios
• PMO professionals developing enterprise project control standards, governance frameworks, and reporting systems
• Graduate project controls and construction management professionals building a structured technical foundation in enterprise project controls

The Effective Project Control Systems for Post Crisis Developments Course is delivered through a technically rigorous, practically intensive learning approach where every technical domain is reinforced through case studies and workshops integrated into each day. The course moves progressively from ePCS fundamentals and scheduling through earned value management, delay analysis, risk quantification, and contract change management building a complete, integrated project controls capability across all five days.

Case study presentations of real ePCS tools and practical workshops applying scheduling, EVM, delay analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and change management techniques are embedded throughout, ensuring delegates develop applied project controls competence alongside theoretical understanding.

Delivery methods include:

• Instructor-led sessions covering ePCS design, scheduling, earned value, delay analysis, risk quantification, and contract change management
• Day 1 case study presentation of a real ePCS tool examining how enterprise project control systems are structured and operated
• WBS, OBS, and schedule development workshops applying baseline development and update methods including post-crisis scheduling considerations
• Earned value and progress measurement workshops applying EVM metrics, KPIs, and reporting frameworks to project performance scenarios
• Contract change management workshops examining contract types, change classification, and change management processes

• AZTech Certificate of Completion for delegates who attend and complete the training course
• The applicable PMI Professional Development Units/Contact Hours will be reflected in the Certificate of Completion
