What is an Electrical Project Management Plan (EPMP)?
The electrical project management plan is the plan by which your electrical project will run. It is a baseline so you have a point of comparison as you work through the electrical project tasks. All electrical projects need to be planned and monitored using the same system of processes.
To be able to measure our performance and provide accurate objective evidence we must have a formal structured process system in place such as an Electrical Project Filing System containing all standard documents including safety, QA, daily work sheets and standard forms/templates.
The Electrical Project Management Plan (EPMP) includes:
| PM Function | Process | Description |
| Scope | Scope Definition | Revision is required in view of further information coming to light |
| Time | Work Breakdown Structure
or WBS |
The primary objective broken down into achievable tasks and activities.
This is a process which leads into the schedule, budget and other plans. |
| Schedule using WBS | A time based plan for completing project tasks | |
| Cost and Revenue | Cost Estimate using WBS | By phase, milestone, or overall |
| Monitor Costs | project | |
| Cost report summary | ||
| AS400 – System | ||
| Quality | Registered Documentation
Inspection and test plan
|
What quality expectations are there, and how will they be checked and monitored? |
| Risk | Risk Register
Safety JSA/WMS
|
What uncertainty exists and how will it be managed? |
| H R | Responsibility Assignment Matrix | Who will be responsible for what? |
| Skills Matrix | What skills are needed?
What skills do your people have? |
|
| Communications | Stakeholders Contact Details
|
Who are the stakeholders? How and Why are they contacted? |
| Communications Management Matrix | How are communications within the electrical project structured? Who reports to whom? How? | |
| Procurement | Purchase Order System | Anything relating to the procurement of goods and services to assist in the achievement of the electrical project outcomes. |
This process based system helps and verifies your performance, and focus on scope, cost and revenue as well as safety and quality.
