Combining existing technologies, including 3D models, a project schedule, emerging virtual reality platforms, drones, laser scans and high def overlays, it is now possible for teams to collaborate and review a design and current vs. planned project progress in real time. This means the remote team can view the actual site in fine detail, whether it is on the 81st floor of 50 Hudson Yards in Manhattan, inside the Guangzhou Evergrande Football Stadium or 138′ above the Fraser River under the Port Mann Bridge in British Columbia. accurately identifying, reviewing, assigning, and resolving issues can now be done in a matter of hours or days rather than weeks.

Evaluate Session
This presentation will address the following questions:
- Why is diligent task management not enough to deliver projects on time and within budget?
- What are the forces acting on our processes that create disruption and deviation from the plan?
- What can we do to identify, mitigate, and adjust for these effects within our project delivery efforts?
We will provide alternative models for improving project delivery performance. Participants will leave with a better understanding of the importance of a systems approach to project delivery, a quantitative approach to building reliable workflow, and tools to consider for mitigating impacts to the plan.
Project managers are required to wear many hats – technical, tactical, and strategic. Staffing with technical expertise and applying industry accepted project management tools and techniques along with technical expertise is the central theme of most organizations’ approach to project delivery. The key planning tool of these project managers is the decomposition and delegation of complex tasks into component activities and tasks that can be managed within the execution process. The coordinated and efficient execution of these tasks and subtasks becomes the force that drives the organization toward project completion. Yet, in spite of experienced personnel applying conscientious task management at the project level most organizations continue to see negative impacts, disruptions, and delays.
