Seth Godin wrote once that “Every company, indeed, every organization, is a tribe, or if it’s large enough, a
network of tribes—groups of twenty to 150 people in which everyone knows everyone else, or at least knows of
everyone else. Tribes are more powerful than teams, companies, or even CEOs, and yet their key leverage points
have not been mapped—until now.”
Ignite is here to start with a spark to create a flame that everyone member in the tribes will be developed.

Food for Thought
Progress Measurement
Project progress monitoring and control is one of the most
important tasks of construction project management. Every
team member needs to know, in a timely and accurate
manner, how is the project progressing, where they are
currently in comparison to the initially set plans, whether
deadlines are met, budgets are safely measured and followed.
Executing a successful project depends on many factors, but
ultimately the most important question that need to be
answered before any measures can be taken is
“What’s been accomplished so far?”
Progress measurement addresses this question and serves as
a fundamental building block for effective project controls.
Progress measurement system plays an important part
of project control. It includes the detail progress tracking
sheet of its WBS elements, work categories and work steps
for each deliverable.
It is developed either when the additional requirements
are occurred for a particular project or when progress
measurement system is not in placed.
The work scope to be measure includes fabricate and
installation of pipeline including tie-in work, insulation work,
painting work, fabricate and installation of new pipe racks,
fabricate and installation of equipment access platforms,
installation of process equipment.
Progress measurement system would be different depending
on organizational and/or project preference.
Prior implementing a system for progress evaluation an
estimate must be developed for both man-hours and
quantities of drawings for each engineering discipline.
When working with progress calculation, you should know the
level of reporting. In a typical project, engineering progress is
measured as level 2 (phase wise) and level 3 (engineering
discipline wise) and level 4 (document wise).

Physical progress for the engineering phase of a project consists of
three levels of indenture as follows:
•Progress by Drawing, Datasheet, Document and Request for
•Quotation (RFQ)
•Progress by Discipline
•Total Engineering Progress
Weighted Step
One of the most important choices that a control project
controller or project manager makes in establishing
an progress control or EVM plan is to select an appropriate
measure of earned value for each work package.
This choice of the measure of interim progress, or
completion, for each work package will do more than any
other discretionary choice in making the EVM results
meaningful.
The execution process for a successful project depends on
mange factors, but one fundamental question that need to
be answered is before proactive or prescriptive measures
can be implemented is: What’s been accomplished so far?
Progress measurement addresses this question and serves
as a fundamental building block for effective project
controls.
Steps make it possible to describe and report progress for
activity work at a granular level by breaking an activity into
its component parts. Steps can have a step weight that
quantifies the portion of an activity's total work that each
step represents. On a project per project basis, you can use
step weights to calculate Activity Percent Complete.
Weighted steps enable you to track the progress of an
activity based on the number of steps completed.
According to the 5th edition of the
PMBOK Guide,
“ Weighted milestone method. An earned
value method that divides a work package
into measurable segments, each ending
with an observable milestone, and then
assigns a weighted value to the
achievement of each milestone. ”
Weighted Step
How do you figure out percent complete on a project?
How is it you go about objectively assigning a reasonable
and accurate measurement of how far along you are on an
item of work?
How many times have you asked, “Hey, where
did that number come from?”
Rule Of Credit can answer those questions.
For any workpackage in the work breakdown structure, a
project manager can define any number of milestone
events that define the incremental progress of that task.
An example milestone could be, “Engineering
Completed”. Another milestone could be “Pre-construction
Completed". Connected with that, a percent complete value
is associated with each milestone.
All milestones in the task will tally up to 100%. As work is
completed on the task, these milestones can be checked-off
as completed and the associated percent will be auto-
applied to the task.

+ “Step” function in Primavera P6
Option 1 : Detail construction activity listed as activities.
Without Using STEPs Function
“Steps” is a function in Primavera P6 that allow user to divide activities into smaller increments and track the completion.
• Activity percent complete is calculated based on the relative weights of the completed steps versus incomplete steps.
• This method suit of large activities that contents few activities steps.
Steps make it possible to describe and report progress for activity work at a granular level by breaking an activity into its component
parts.
With STEPs Function
“Steps” features in Primavera P6 in an interesting features to be used rather than creating a list of activities short-durations and no
priorities.
If you’re going to use the Steps feature in Primavera™ P6 to progress % Complete you need to check the “ Activity Percent Complete
Bases on Actual Steps” box in Project Calculations tab.
With STEPs Function
As you tick this box you will get a message explaining that the Physical Percent Complete values will be recalculated from the steps.
Note: if an activity is set to Percent Complete Type “Physical” but does not have Steps, then the values will NOT be recalculated. It will
only recalculate values that have steps assigned AND are Percent Complete Type “Physical”
With STEPs Function
Following that you need to use “ Physical % Complete “on the Activity that contains the steps
With STEPs Function
Steps Function
To indicate the portion of activity work that a single step represents, you can assign it a numerical value, or weight.
Once work for a step is underway, Primavera can use the step weight and the reported progress of step work (Step Percent Complete) to
calculate the percentage of total work that has been completed for the activity (Activity Percent Complete).
In the diagram above , each step is assigned a Step Weight and the Step Weight Percent is calculated.
When you add a step to an activity that already has steps defined, the default weight for the new step is 1, providing no steps have been
marked Completed, and no steps have a Step % Complete of 100%.
Option 2: Detail construction activity listed as steps
Steps be saved as templates for repetitive process.

    Progress Measurement Project progressmonitoring and control is one of the most important tasks of construction project management. Every team member needs to know, in a timely and accurate manner, how is the project progressing, where they are currently in comparison to the initially set plans, whether deadlines are met, budgets are safely measured and followed. Executing a successful project depends on many factors, but ultimately the most important question that need to be answered before any measures can be taken is “What’s been accomplished so far?” Progress measurement addresses this question and serves as a fundamental building block for effective project controls. Progress measurement system plays an important part of project control. It includes the detail progress tracking sheet of its WBS elements, work categories and work steps for each deliverable. It is developed either when the additional requirements are occurred for a particular project or when progress measurement system is not in placed. The work scope to be measure includes fabricate and installation of pipeline including tie-in work, insulation work, painting work, fabricate and installation of new pipe racks, fabricate and installation of equipment access platforms, installation of process equipment. Progress measurement system would be different depending on organizational and/or project preference. Prior implementing a system for progress evaluation an estimate must be developed for both man-hours and quantities of drawings for each engineering discipline. When working with progress calculation, you should know the level of reporting. In a typical project, engineering progress is measured as level 2 (phase wise) and level 3 (engineering discipline wise) and level 4 (document wise).

When working with progress calculation, you should know the level of reporting. In a typical project, engineering progress is measured as level 2 (phase wise) and level 3 (engineering discipline wise) and level 4 (document wise). Physical progress for the engineering phase of a project consists of three levels of indenture as follows: •Progress by Drawing, Datasheet, Document and Request for •Quotation (RFQ) •Progress by Discipline •Total Engineering Progress

    Weighted Step One ofthe most important choices that a control project controller or project manager makes in establishing an progress control or EVM plan is to select an appropriate measure of earned value for each work package. This choice of the measure of interim progress, or completion, for each work package will do more than any other discretionary choice in making the EVM results meaningful. The execution process for a successful project depends on mange factors, but one fundamental question that need to be answered is before proactive or prescriptive measures can be implemented is: What’s been accomplished so far? Progress measurement addresses this question and serves as a fundamental building block for effective project controls. Steps make it possible to describe and report progress for activity work at a granular level by breaking an activity into its component parts. Steps can have a step weight that quantifies the portion of an activity's total work that each step represents. On a project per project basis, you can use step weights to calculate Activity Percent Complete. Weighted steps enable you to track the progress of an activity based on the number of steps completed. According to the 5th edition of the PMBOK Guide, “ Weighted milestone method. An earned value method that divides a work package into measurable segments, each ending with an observable milestone, and then assigns a weighted value to the achievement of each milestone. ”
  • 10.
    Weighted Step How doyou figure out percent complete on a project? How is it you go about objectively assigning a reasonable and accurate measurement of how far along you are on an item of work? How many times have you asked, “Hey, where did that number come from?” Rule Of Credit can answer those questions. For any workpackage in the work breakdown structure, a project manager can define any number of milestone events that define the incremental progress of that task. An example milestone could be, “Engineering Completed”. Another milestone could be “Pre-construction Completed". Connected with that, a percent complete value is associated with each milestone. All milestones in the task will tally up to 100%. As work is completed on the task, these milestones can be checked-off as completed and the associated percent will be auto- applied to the task.
