Project Time Management
This website: The aim of this website is to provide you with information on Project Time Management, the qualifications, the proposed contract form, and to provide an information resource for all interested in the effective management of time in complex projects.
Information on the guide to time management can be found Here, or by clicking the link on the left.
Delayed completion affects IT, process plant, oil & gas, civil engineering, shipbuilding and marine work contracts. In fact it affects all industries in all countries and the bigger the project, the more damage delayed completion causes to costs, to reputation and sometimes, even to the survival of the contracting parties themselves.
In simple projects, time can be managed intuitively by any reasonably competent person, but complex projects cannot and a more analytical approach is necessary if the project is to succeed.
In 2008, the CIOB embarked upon a 5-year strategy to provide standards, education, training and accreditation in time management. The first stage, the Guide to Good Practice in Managing Time in Complex Projects, sets down the process and standards to be achieved in preparing and managing the time model.
As a handbook for practitioners it uses logical step by step procedures and examples from inception and risk appraisal, through design and construction to testing and commissioning, to show how an effective and dynamic time model can be used to manage the risk of delay to completion of construction projects.
History
The guide to time management and its associated qualifications were founded on an idea by Keith Pickavance - former president of the CIOB.
Following a research project set up by Keith in 2008, it became apparent that time management in the construction industry in 2008 was in about the same state as cost management had been at the turn of the 20th century, about 100 years ago.
Qualifications
The PTM Qualifications being developed will be announced here shortly. In the meantime, click read more for more information
