6 Projects Out of Control <6% of projects deliver planned financial returns

7 Projects Out of Control 61% of major projects miss their budget Source: Utilities Capital Projects: Will They Deliver?, Accenture 2013

8 Projects Out of Control 11% impact on share price if project deadline or budget missed Source: Capital Projects: Is Your Board Doing Enough?, PWC, 2013

9 Challenge: Project Data Doesn t Easily Match Up Project 100 CBS-0 WBS A WBS B CBS 1 CBS 2 CBS 3 CBS 4 WBS A1 WBS B1 WBS B2 CBS 11 CBS 12 CBS 21 CBS 31 CBS 41 WBS A1.1 WBS B1.1 WBS B1.1.1 ERP Schedule

10 Existing Systems Poor Fit for Project Controls ERP ERP Systems: Look Backwards, at Actual Costs, not Forward at Where the Project is Headed Do not perform Time-Phased Budgeting Do not perform Time-Phased Forecasting Do not save Monthly Snapshots Schedule Do not Support What if Scenarios Are Owned by Finance Are Hard to Use

11 Existing Systems Poor Fit for Project Controls Scheduling Systems: Too dynamic for cost controls Do not retain audit trail Lack rigorous security for controlling budgets ERP Schedule

12 Existing Systems Poor Fit for Project Controls Use of Excel for Project Controls: Leads to Each Project Following Own Process Hours Spent Consolidating and Comparing Files Excel Errors and Trouble Controlling Versions No Auditability ERP Schedule

13 Challenge: Lack of Visibility What is the latest progress on the project? What changes have been added to the budget? Which disciplines are under-productive? What do we expect our final costs to be? Which projects are under-performing and why?

14 What did we achieve this month on our projects? What are our outstanding commitments? How does this forecast compare to last month s? Can you run me a Project budget report?
