- In P1, the Commitment Architecture of the Project is fixed. It is the stated aspirational goal of what we want to achieve, who will do what and how it will be done. That is what the teams will try and stick to as much as possible. This has been generated by the each G6 team and CU team. Their milestones are defined in this. If everything is working according to these commitments, and there is no variance beyond 5-10%, Central Planning has no role to play.
- When there is a variation beyond 5-10%, it is the job of Central Planning, based on the priorities of the organization to adjust it.
- Multiple requirements (projects side) and resource constraints (functions side) are to be aligned.
- The primary decision criterion for alignment is the ‘Value view’.
- Value view/ choices are based on capital efficiency. It impacts:
i) whether a project is relevant or not (go / no-go), ii) work modes of projects, iii) intra project prioritization - These value choices are then translated into an optimal E&P Roadmap.
- This Optimal E&P Roadmap is cascaded into new milestones which are handed out across the system.
- This E&P Roadmap is a system-level snapshot of the future roadmap taking into consideration all decision criteria at the present moment.
