Project Controls for Capital Projects - PC21

This course addresses Project Controls principles and practices as they relate to providing project leaders and key stakeholders the information they need to support project success for upstream, midstream, and downstream energy projects. The focus of the course is using project controls effectively to manage engineering / procurement / construction, improve project profitability, make schedule, and deliver a quality and safe project. Upon completion of this course, the participant will understand the critical success factors for cost estimating, scheduling, and progress measurement and be able to utilize these best practices to effectively manage their project. Participants will understand all of the steps necessary to develop and implement an effective project controls plan. Project controls activities throughout the entire project life cycle (FEED, engineering, construction) are addressed. In particular, participants will learn the steps that a project leader should take during each stage of the project life cycle to effectively manage their project and their contractor. The course is taught using a combination of instruction, facilitated discussion, and hands-on exercises using a "real world" case study example. The exercises will include both individual and group activities that will provide each participant with a hands-on application of the principles and practices discussed throughout the course. This course counts toward PMI Project Development Units (PDUs) through continuing education. Completion Certificates may be submitted to PMI as required to document third-party training.
