Do you discover project variance, or see it coming?

This package diverged eleven days ago, here are the two variation orders behind it, and the forecast has not moved yet.

Business outcomes

  • Variance surfaced while the project can still respond, rather than explained after the exposure is committed
  • Unsupported forecast movement caught, a forecast that moved without a change, risk or progress event behind it
  • Accruals computed from progress, so the reported position stops depending on who estimated it
  • Variance carrying its drivers, not "unfavourable by X" but which package, which cost type, and what happened
  • Benefits traced through to realisation, so the next case is approved on evidence rather than the same assumptions

Measured on

  • Time from variance emergence to ownership
  • Forecast-at-completion accuracy against outturn
  • Unsupported manual forecast adjustment
  • Accrual timeliness and basis consistency

What CELIA does alone, and what stays with your team

CELIA reports to the CFO. Anything outside the agreed boundary goes to finance, group reporting (capitalisation), CFO delegate or sponsor, with the evidence attached.

Skills and the workday

CELIA reconciles commitments to actuals, progress and baseline, computes accruals, flags variance with drivers, requests forecast or supporting evidence, opens a control action, tracks variation orders, prepares stage-gate material, recommends reforecast or escalation, maintains benefit and change lineage.

  • Reconciles commitments, actuals and progress against baseline
  • Detects unsupported forecast movement
  • Computes accruals from progress data rather than estimate
  • Attributes variance to its drivers
  • Tracks variation orders against the forecast
  • Traces benefits from business case through to realisation
