What is a Baseline in Project Management?
In project management, the baseline is the original range, total cost
and schedule of a project.

It is used to measure the amount of deviation of performance from
the original plan.

Before the execution of the project, the baseline must be properly
defined and documented.

Project Execution and Control

HEMP ENGINEERING Pty Ltd

Project Execution and Control

The purpose of Project Execution and Control is to
develop the product or service that the project was
commissioned to deliver. Typically, this is the longest
phase of the project management lifecycle, where most
resources are applied.

Project Execution and Control

Project Execution and Control utilizes all the plans,
schedules, procedures and templates that were prepared
and anticipated during prior phases.

Unanticipated events and situations will inevitably be
encountered, and the Project Manager and Project Team
will be taxed to capacity to deal with them while minimizing
impact on the project’s

The importance of a Progress Measurement System

Progress Measurement System will answer questions like:

How far a project actually progressed?

How far should a project have progressed by a particular date?

Where are the progress deviations?

What is the progress curve that ensures a normal project development

Necessity of Measuring Progress

Progress measurement allows a numeric comparison with the baseline plan. Ea
Progress sets the basis for productivity calculations
Progress is related to expenses and allows cash flow estimation
Progress in combination with cost information allows the use of Earned Value

Necessity of Measuring Progress

Progress in combination with Cost information allows the use of Earned V

Earned Value = Budget * % Progress
Schedule Performance Index (SPI) = Earned Value /Planned Value
Cost Performance Index = (CPI) = Earned Value/Expended value
Cost Forecast (BAC) = Budget/CPI
Duration Forecast = Original Duration/SPI

Project Execution and Control

Corrective Actions

▪ Reducing the durations of activities on, or near, the
critical path,

▪ Providing more work time and changing calendars,
▪ Reducing the project scope and deleting activities,
▪ Changing activity relationships so activities take place

concurrently,
▪ Changing the plan and therefore changing the logic to

reduce the overall length of the critical path.

WHAT IF, NONE OF THE ABOVE WORKS?
