Implementing a Standardized Project Management System Stay on Schedule – Improve Performance – Make More Money

All projects begin with a schedule, even if it is, at minimum, nothing more than some basic milestone dates. This schedule is the simple, “high-level” strategic part. Keeping the project on that schedule, hitting each and every milestone, is the difficult part. D. Brown Management’s Profit Happens Here! Implementing a Standardized Project Management System Training Module explores the systematic use of weekly and daily processes that will help your organization stay on track, earn higher profits, and save on time, labor, and expenses.

This module focuses not on the creation of the overall project schedule, but rather, the grinding details that separate the best performers from the rest. All the best performers – the highest achievers – use a systematic approach in scheduling and managing their projects. You will learn in detail what this approach is, and how to use it to build a framework that you can apply to every single project, from beginning to end.

One of the first areas the module covers is why, and how, so many projects get off track. Problems are inherent in construction, which means they’re inherent in every project within the organization. Managing the details of your projects will assist you in seeing problems before they happen, which will allow you to take better control of them quickly. This is absolutely essential in creating the dynamic flow that will push your organization to the next level in project management.

From there, we discuss different types of schedules, tools, and other documentation, from the 3-Week Schedule, to the Weekly Production Meeting, to the Project Action-Item List, to the Daily Job Journal, and we give you plenty of templates and examples to learn from. After each of these tools is explored, the module also covers computer software. While software will never take the place of these simple best practices, it can be a huge help in standardizing and tracking workflow processes. You’ll learn what to look for in software, what works and what doesn’t, and how it can assist you in standardizing your project management system.

Improving company performance levels is not about improving the performance of top performers. It is about creating processes and systems that can narrow the gap between the top performers and the worst performers. This training module will give you the knowledge you need in raising the average bar of performance within your organization by creating, implementing, and following a standardized project management system.
