Organizational Strategies for Instantaneous Project Controls
Douglas E. Weaver, Walbridge
Research Team 316
Informal Survey
• How old is the information you receive when you are making critical decisions? Hours? Days? Weeks? Months?
• Would you like on-demand access to current project status information at any time?
Given that an instantaneous control function is defined by a continuous feed or collection of data and an on-
demand, accurate reporting.
Do You Remember?
“One if by land, Two if by sea!”
• Critical information
• Coordination and planning
• High-quality information
• Information traveling at the speed of light
• Performance improvement
• Wasn’t purchased software or technology alone

However, it’s not commercial software or technology alone.
Instantaneous and on-
demand reporting must
be supported by
organizational maturity.
