Concrete-Techgroup
receives several queries related to Project Management, Project
Monitoring & Project Scheduling. The quite common ones are:
"I've
been asked to include a S- Curve in my next progress report, but I
don't even
know what one is."
-
Project Manager
"I want to visually
track the progress of my Project, and Bar Charts/
Gantt Charts are not the solution."
-
Project Scheduler
"Our company uses MS
Project to schedule our projects, but it doesn't
generate S Curves."
-
Construction Manager
"I
work in a government department (Railways) & am in-charge of a
construction
project. How can I create my progress reports so as to effectively
monitor my
project & also earn appreciation from higher inspecting
officials ."
-
Project
Deputy Chief Engineer
"What
is the best way to monitor progress of construction projects?...tabular
formats/bar charts look too primitive…& MS Project
too complicated for our
purpose ."

Engineer
The
good thing is that these are the easiest questions for us to answer
(we/our technical experts/volunteers also answer a lot of technical
questions) .....
The answer is:
.
What
is SCG?
SCG
is a stand-alone construction software meant for Project
engineers/managers who
wish to effectively monitor their project through S-Curves without
going into intricacies of
complex softwares like MS Project.

to know more about them.
What
are the benefits of using SCG?
If
you are a Project engineer or Project Manager, these are the questions
you must have faced quite often...
- What
is the actual progress of the work?
- How
much work was planned?
- Will
the project be completed on time?
- Why
is it delayed?
- What
is the expected date of completion as at present rate?
- How
much cost is incurred as on date?
- What
is the budgeted cost for the work done?
- Is
the incurred cost as per the budget?
- Is
there a cost over-run?
- What
will be the total cost on completion at present rate?
Success (or otherwise) of a Project engineer or Project Manager depends
on how well he or she can handle these questions.
Now
with SCG,
all you need to do to answer these questions is to show your boss (or
even his boss) print outs of S-Curves generated by our software.....your
boss will be shocked into silence......
Just
kidding there ! there
are other serious
reasons for using SCG .
These are:
- Monitoring
