Without this role in place early\, projects commonly suffer from baseline creep where budgets expand uncontrollably\, inaccurate cost forecasting that leads to budget overruns and funding gaps\, poor resource allocation resulting in bottlenecks and inefficiencies\, and a lack of early warning systems to identify risks before they become crises.\nWhen project controllers join too late\, they inherit poorly structured data\, inconsistent tracking methodologies\, and commitments made without proper financial controls\, making it nearly impossible to establish accurate baselines or implement effective change management processes.\nOur early involvement ensures that controls are embedded into the project’s foundation\, enabling proactive decision-making rather than reactive crisis management\, protecting the project from the budget overruns\, schedule delays\, and scope misalignments that plague projects lacking disciplined oversight from inception.\nDiscussing shutdowns and there schedules as well as utilizing P6 & MS projects.\n\n\n\nSpeaker \n\nBrooke Caravan – Project Controls – CMS Inc.\n\nBrooke has 14 years of Oil and Gas experience in Turnaround and Major Maintenance Environments across North America. In her career\, she has been trusted with ownership of the control processes on Turnarounds with budgets of up to $250M.\nConsidered a Subject Matter Expert in estimating\, cost reporting\, forecasting as well as reporting of progress and performance\, she has been integral in the creation and implementation of control systems resulting in highly accurate forecasting of final costs.
