i want to hear your story.<\/p>\n

i want to hear about how your schedule was a nightmare from the start – but you pulled through in the end; about how this one trick saved your butt in a crunch or even about how things went completely wrong and you would never do that again.<\/p>\n

these are stories we all want to hear.<\/p>\n

we want to hear your story about project controls, primavera p6<\/a>, your team’s unique project and what you accomplished.<\/p>\n

last year i played a part in organizing\u00a0collaborate14<\/strong>, where i and others were inspired by presentations from primavera users<\/strong>;\u00a0users who were willing to stand up and share their experiences with primavera – the good, the bad and the ugly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

some inspiring\u00a0talks i attended at collaborate14:<\/h3>\n

ivan rincon’s<\/span> excellent presentation on implementing an integrated primavera p6 eppm<\/a> at bc ferries<\/a>.\u00a0ivan told bc ferries’ story from an organizational standpoint, discussing challenges with training, user adoption, having proper technical skills in-house as well as technology challenges.<\/p>\n

it was not your typical “here’s how mapped this field to that field in p6<\/em>” sort of talk. (here’s a link to ivan’s presentation<\/a> and his whitepaper<\/a> on the opsig website.)<\/p>\n

ivan discussed how the organization had to adapt to enterprise project management, and how people reacted to these changes. the kind of invaluable “how we toughed it out” information i heard about you will not find in any oracle brochures or white papers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

trevor watt<\/span> of epcm solutions sort of blew me away with “30% \/ 60% \/ 90% ifc engineering: what is the project progress?<\/strong>” (link to presentation<\/a>).<\/p>\n

he showed us\u00a0how ifc engineering project schedules are usually built at a fairly high-level<\/span> in p3 or p6. this high-level approach didn’t allow him to accurately progress his activities using rules of credit<\/span>.<\/p>\n

his solution?<\/p>\n

ditch the high-level schedule and go for a detailed schedule that allowed him to increase his progress accuracy by a factor of 10.<\/p>\n

and he used just about every primavera p6 feature to build and track his schedule – resource curves<\/a>, leveling, financial periods, global changes…. he used them all.<\/p>\n

why bother with the detail?<\/p>\n

his words “the bottom line is what ever happens during the<\/strong> engineering phase, can affect construction two fold<\/strong>.” smart stuff.\u00a0his audience was impressed and had a flurry of questions for him afterwards.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

as an organizer for next year’s collaborate15 conference, i’m on a mission to find more\u00a0inspiring and motivating user stories. technical presentations are great and really helpful. but a successful user conference relies on users to get involved.<\/p>\n

i’m on a mission to find more\u00a0inspiring and motivating user stories.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

collaborate15 call for presentations – open until oct 31st<\/h3>\n

the\u00a0call for papers<\/a>\u00a0for collaborate15<\/strong> is open, but only until oct 31st.<\/strong>\u00a0get going and\u00a0submit an abstract<\/a>….it only takes a few minutes.<\/p>\n

the conference will be in las vegas<\/strong> in april 12-16, 2015<\/strong> at mandelay bay, a great venue. if you do submit and are selected to speak, conference attendance fees are waived (for 1 speaker)….yes, you can attend for free!<\/strong><\/p>\n

if you aren’t able to speak or don’t feel the pull despite my nudging, then consider attending and block out april 12-16 in your calendar. i’ll see you there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
