APMP in practice…
Guys,
One of the introductory packages I was given was all about project management within USACE and it reeked of the APMP BoK stuff we did just before we were set free and released into the wild. I have spoken with the guys that run the systems here and they have agreed to release it from the secure part of the USACE intranet, the idea being that it might be useful to see the subject matter in a military construction management setting.
There is a ‘tool kit’ in hard copy that I will arrange to be sent to PEW via the SI to see if it is suitable for wider consumption – most of the language is the same as with APMP. I have also been invited to see their software tools at District office that they use for running these sorts of things which I should be able to scope out either on phase 2 or phase 3, whichever is most appropriate.
I have my first mini-project for the retro-fit of $3,500,000 worth of solar walls to one of the storage facilities here at DDDS. It seems to be another one of those projects where no one is sure who’s doing what. Another birds nest to unravel but it’s early days and shouldn’t be an issue. First meeting is tomorrow.
Essayons!
