[HATCH] A Digital Project Delivery Journey: Taking Project Controls to the Next Level

Digital Project Delivery (DPD) is the use of digital data and models to plan, estimate, engineer, procure, construct, commission and operate facilities. It helps firms adopt or develop technologies that support a collaborative environment, providing the information in a structured and real-time way through a data hub during execution and provides a digital twin for operations.

This presentation describes the journey to an integrated digital project control system for cost effective and efficient project delivery. Results include the enhancement of forecasting and predictability, change management, risk management and earned value. Efficiencies realized by the seamless development of estimating to cost control to benchmarking provide the means for automated analytics and decision opportunities, rather than simply data collection and reporting.

Digital project controls and digital project management is steering towards greater collaboration and efficiencies between project disciplines and stakeholders. It also enhances the role and skills required. With further industry trends and innovation, we imagine a bold and positive future for project controls and estimating, unlocking greater value for owners and stakeholders.
