Hi,
I am a lead planning engineer working for a company in uae.
Im faced with a challenge and so far have not been able to come around it.
the challenge is that i have an engineering schedule and we measure progress based on weights assigned to to only he deliverables (docs drawings etc). However we spend significant amount of time on meetings, vendor coordination , site visits and other internal activities which do not reflect in progress. As a result our productivity is always low cuz we end up spending too many manhours on a projec compared to very little progress (which only reflects deliverables).
is there a way that i can add or track progress for such internal activities and add them to my deliverables progress so tha that my productivity and progress figures are more realistic. I know in oil and gas indusry in uae clients generally do not allow adding activities to the lis of deliverables.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a method to counter this.
Ill be grateful
Thank You
