Frequently Asked Questions
What are the technical prerequisites for this program?
Participants should have basic familiarity with Primavera P6 or similar scheduling tools. Power BI Desktop should be available, and client tenant should allow publishing and RLS configuration. Cost/Project Controls experience in Oil & Gas is helpful but not mandatory.
Can we use our actual Oil & Gas project data during training?
Absolutely. The program is specifically designed for hands-on labs using your actual Oil & Gas project data (P6 exports and cost snapshots), ensuring immediate practical application and relevance to your current projects including LNG, refinery, or upstream operations.
What is the seat limit and why is it important?
We limit participation to ≤18 attendees to ensure hands-on quality and personalized data wiring for each participant team. This maintains the program's effectiveness and ensures each team gets the attention needed for successful implementation.
What deliverables do we keep after program completion?
You receive perpetual internal use license for all deliverables including PBIX v2 files, DAX & Power Query libraries, SOPs, governance packs, templates, and KPI dictionaries. These are production-ready for immediate use in your Oil & Gas projects.
How are the program gates structured?
The program includes three capability gates: Week 1 (DCMA ≥85/100, baseline locked), Week 2 (PV/EV/AC reconciliation ±0.5%, PBIX v1.5 operational), Week 3 (SPI(t)/DPI live, risk bands in use, 15-25% MAPE improvement). These ensure measurable capability development.
What post-program support is included?
We include two office-hour clinics within 30 days of program completion, plus all templates, SOPs, and governance packs for perpetual internal use. Two internal champions are coached during the program for knowledge sustainability.
