Initiation

During this phase, the project is conceptualised, and feasibility is determined. Activities that should be performed during this process include defining the project goal; defining the project scope; identifying the project manager and the key stakeholders; identifying potential risks; and producing an estimated budget and timeline.

Planning

Next, we will create a blueprint to guide the entire project from idea through completion. This blueprint will map out the project’s scope; resources required to create the deliverables; estimated time and financial commitments; communication strategy to ensure stakeholders are kept up to date and involved; execution plan; and proposal for ongoing maintenance. If the project has not yet been approved, this blueprint will serve as a critical part of the pitch.

Execution

During this phase, we will conduct the procurement required for the project as well as staff the team. Further, execution of the project objectives requires effective management of the team members on the ground. PMs are responsible for delegating and overseeing the work on the project while maintaining good relationships with all team members and keeping the entire project on time and on budget. We address the team concerns and any issues that arise along the way, requiring frequent and open communication with all team members and stakeholders.

Monitoring

During this process, we will closely measure the progress of the project to ensure it is developing properly. Documentation such as data collection and verbal and written status reports are produced. We establish how well the project is progressing and will detect any necessary corrective action or change in the project to keep it on track.

Closing

The closing process group occurs once the project deliverables have been produced and the stakeholders validate and approve them. During this phase, we will close contracts with suppliers, external vendors, consultants, and other third-party providers. All documentation will be archived, and a final project report will be produced. Further, the final part of the project plan — the plan for troubleshooting and maintenance — will kick into place.

PAST PROJECTS

XCER were engaged to help overcome various challenges and made significant improvements in site completions progress using local personnel managed by their team.

HVAC Commissioning – Wheatstone

XCER worked with Nexus on the HVAC commissioning scope for the HVAC units on all analysers on the Chevron Wheatstone Project. XCERs’ scope included electrical commissioning, HVAC testing, operational performance optimisation and fault rectification. We were able to complete each stage of commissioning ahead of schedule.

Stacker Commissioning – Port Kembla

Project Management – Gorgon

The Gorgon LNG Project is one of the world’s largest natural gas projects.

XCER personnel had an instrumental role in the successful and incident free execution of these sensitive tasks.
