Here is a checklist of potential flashpoints that were considered:
System Level:
- Is the system easy to use?
- Are the tools & formats easy to use?
Role Clarity – DU/CU Planning:
- Are people clear about what deliverables are expected from them? Daily, weekly, monthly, event-wise, etc.
- Are people clear about what deliverables are expected of them in P1, P2, P3 and P4?
- Are people clear about the contributions expected from them?
- Providing visibility of current status to the team members.
- Identifying causes for variance so they can be addressed and self-balancing can take place at the earliest.
- Ensuring data is updated.
- Ensuring data is aligned with ground reality (cross-checking).
Role Clarity – Central Planning:
- Are people clear about what deliverables are expected of them in P1, P2, P3 and P4?
- Are people clear about the contributions expected from them?
- Ensuring baseline is complete and updated
- Creating E&P Roadmap
- Ensuring all data is updated so current reality is visible to senior management & all relevant stakeholders
- Providing relevant reports & analysis to ensure early action
- Balancing project needs & resources (synthesis role)
Capabilities
- Do people have the necessary cognitive and engagement skills for meaningful & proactive analysis and supporting development of solutions & decisions by team members?
Ensuring practices are followed
- Regular updation of data.
- Validation with ground reality.
- Integrity of flow of data & information – i.e. going via central planning, no cross connection between DU planning and CU planning directly.
- Engagement and think-through of information & variance is done to ensure meaningful and proactive analysis (rather than focus on blindly meeting deliverable goals).
Clarity of Purpose
- Do people understand the value and criticality of commitment-based interactions? We will cover these points as part of the E&P Contributor Basics Program.
