Project Controls and Estimation Curriculum

Progress

Module from the Project Controls and Estimation Curriculum curriculum.

Module 6 - Progress Measurement · Learning Objectives · 1. Apply rules of credit by discipline and deliverable · 2. Measure engineering by document count + weighted complexity · 3. Measure procurement by milestone (order, ship, receive, installed) · 4. Measure construction by installed quantity vs MTO · 5. Use physical-% vs earned-% based on rules of credit · Typical Rules of Credit
