For quick reference I leave the list of top five lessons you refer in this video. 1. Experience doesn't necessarily brings expertise in project controls. 2. Mastering project controls tools doesn't guarantee your success. 3. Communication skills matters. 4. Diversify (on all aspects of project controls). 5. Gaining site experience is important.
Dear Shohreh, Pursuant to watching your inspiring video Request you to Please create video on the following items as limited learning information is available on these a. How to create Document Control system for a Real Estate Construction Project and guidance on available Tools. b. How to understand basics and advanced learning about creation from scratch to monitoring and control, capturing actual costs as part of Cost Control on a Real Estate Projects and guidance on available Tools and integration with Planning Tools like Primavera. c. Integrating BIM and Primavera on a Real Estate Project.
I used to be very good with math but sometimes I see in my dream that I'm having same exams but surprisingly I can't solve any single problem. It materialises some times in such a way that even with 19 years of project planning experience sometimes I badly get stuck with some new projects due to lack of knowledge about how to approach, sorta nightmare 🙂
Hi There is a question that you have referred from your experience earlier on in this video... a Project Control manager asked you to provide a schedule according to those dates that provided? As you mentioned this is not the way to prepare a schedule for a project and it doesn't make any sense. But How you reacted to this situation and how you handled this conflict? Do you not think that if you use constraint then you can provide this plan? Although Monitoring doesn't mean anymore there! ... May I have your answer, please? Many Thanks
Very good question, Pedram. Apologies for the delay in responding to your question. To answer your question, the schedule that is built entirely on constraints is not an effective schedule. It is just a pretty picture. As you mentioned, monitoring and controlling such a schedule doesn't mean anymore. If it a one-time effort to just picture the overall plan, it is fine to develop such a high-level schedule. However, for day-to-day planning schedules with a high number of constraints will reduce the quality of the schedule tremendously. The scheduling best practices recommend only two constraints; the start and finish milestones. You may add constraints for the start of extrenal activities, but the rest of the schedule should be run according to the logic. This is how the Critical Path makes sense and you can become proactive in responding to schedule delays. If a manager asks you to do strange things like the ones mentioned in the video, it is recommended that you educate the person first and then do your best in doing the task according to the right practice that you know it works.

Believe me without site experience you never understand what you put together to develop a schedule.
We agree with you 100%, Paul.
