Continuous Assessment of Project Performance
The software consists of four modules: 1) data input, 2) data normalization, 3) statistical analysis, and 4) graphical report generation. The graphical module generates the S-curves for the successful and less-than successful projects. The software provides the flexibility to analyze data from different perspectives:
- Project type (e.g., process plant, manufacturing, and general building)
- Project size
- Organization type (e.g., owner, contractor, and designer)
- Contract strategy for designer and constructor (e.g., lump sum and reimbursable cost)
CAPP provides the framework to collect data for benchmarking purposes as well as provides an aid in pre-project planning. (IR107-2, p. vii)
Below is a sample CAPP output curve for the variable “Actual Owner Expenditures” for a project whose input parameters included: 1) a process plant construction type, 2) a reimbursable designer contract type, 3) a lump-sum construction contractor contract type, and 4) project size less than $900 million.
IR107-2, Continuous Assessment of Project Performance
This resource describes a process whereby owner, engineer and construction contractor organizations can use continuous variables to predict project outcomes from start of detailed design through construction completion. S-curves were developed for two project outrcome categories:
- Successful projects, meeting or exceeding budget and schedule expectations
- Less-than-successful projects, not meeting budget or schedule expectations
