The objective of progress curves in project control
The structure and format of a progress curve
The structure and content of the checklist
Step-by-step explanation of how you can prepare a progress curve
The progress curve is an essential progress monitoring tool for planning engineers. A progress curve demonstrates the current status and past performances over time. Moreover, separate progress curves should be developed based on both cost and manhours. The curve should include (at least) the following:
✅ Early Planned % for each month
✅ Late Planned % for each month
✅ Actual % for each month of progress
✅ Cumulative Early Planned %
✅ Cumulative Late Planned %
✅ Cumulative Actual %
Confusion, hard work, working late, frustration and making many mistakes.
I desperately needed someone to tell me "do this, then this." so with 14 years of experience in large construction projects behind me (and the scars to prove it)...teaching you a simpler way of project control has become something I truly enjoy.
But after teaching almost 1,000 engineers, here is my ultimate goal.
Help you learn the core foundations and understand why we do everything the way it is done.
Teach a proven step-by-step process that is based on both science and logic.
Have the confidence and knowledge to engage in arguments, add value to your project and pass interviews.
