Construction Execution Planning

(The official course of the PMI-CP™ Curriculum, also applicable towards PMI-SCP^™ Designation)

It is overwhelmingly apparent that many experienced project team members frequently encounter major execution challenges caused by inadequate planning in both the early stages as well as throughout the life cycle of projects. This Execution Planning course directly addresses the resounding opportunity for improvement in project planning across industry sectors. The course covers three complementary project planning and execution approaches that incorporate improved collaboration, communication, alignment, and team culture.

Students begin with a deep dive into Advanced Work Packaging (AWP), exploring its implementation model, tools, and demonstrated benefits for project performance. The curriculum then covers the Last Planner System (LPS), teaching students its lean principles and five crucial planning conversations for predictable workflow. Finally, the course addresses Planning for Completions, Commissioning and Startup, focusing on pre-construction planning phases and identifying twenty critical “hotspots” that require special attention during construction and commissioning phases to ensure successful project delivery.
