This is how project coordinators streamline project execution and delivery

Introduction:

Engineering projects or EPC contracts can be complex and result in delays, chaos, or cost overruns.

This video will explain how project coordination can help streamline project execution.

Problem:

Delays and chaos in project execution are often caused by the lack of coordination between different functions and entities involved.

As organizations grow, coordination between departments can be lost, resulting in differences in priorities, opinions, and goals.

This can lead to interpersonal issues, politics, blaming, and non-cooperation.

Solution:

The solution is a project coordination or project management department that acts as a common thread between individual departments.

Project coordinators can help streamline project execution and delivery by ensuring timely delivery, updating project status, aligning priorities, being proactive, synchronizing with departments, coordinating with external entities, and acting as a single point of contact for the customer.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) or Key Result Areas (KRAs) of Project Coordinators:

  1. Timely Delivery: Ensure projects are delivered within specified timelines and budgets.
  2. All Status Updated: Have an aerial view of all projects and be updated with their current status at all times.
  3. Align Priorities: Help individual departments align with the company’s priorities.
  4. Proactive: Identify risks, and bottlenecks, and use a proactive approach.
  5. Synchronize: Coordinate with all departments within the company to ensure everyone is in sync with common priorities.
  6. External Entities: Coordinate with external entities like vendors, clients, and consultants to expedite all inputs.
  7. Single Point Contact: Act as a single point of contact for the customer for commercial, dispatch instructions, drawing approvals, etc.

Conclusion:

Project coordinators play a crucial role in streamlining project execution and delivery.

They need to be senior, capable, and skilled in project planning, critical thinking, proactive, persuasive, excellent with verbal and written communication, multi-tasking, friendly, and able to get work done.
