establish project baseline schedules and monitor
progress throughout the project lifecycle.
- Conduct periodic schedule performance analyses,
identify delays or variances, and propose
mitigation measures to ensure project timelines are
met.
- Ensure accurate integration of all project
activities, including engineering, procurement,
construction, and commissioning.

2. Resource Allocation:

3. Risk Assessment and Analysis:


- Conduct risk assessments to identify potential
risks and develop appropriate mitigation strategies.
- Regularly update risk registers and incorporate
risk assessment findings into project planning and
scheduling.

events and propose necessary adjustments to
project plans.

4. Reporting and Documentation:


- Prepare comprehensive project progress reports,
including critical path analysis, resource
utilization, and key project milestones.
- Communicate project status, schedule updates,
and risks to project stakeholders, both internally
and externally.
