PERCENTOFTHECOMPLETEDPROJECTSTHATAREWALKED-INDURINGTHEYEAR Comments “Walked in” is terminology from one of our clients that refers to projects that are not in the original annual budget (usually approved prior to January 1 or sooner), but are added during the year. Usually these rush projects do not always get the same degree of planning and vetting. Calculationused CP46.4 CP p11

  11. Key Success Factors:Portfolio Management

  12. PM ROLE

  13. 2013 Results Most utilities have PM’S for all unique projects All projects (5) 37 Distribution Projects - 100% 22 Distribution: Major overhead, URD and Street Light have individual Division managers. Substation: All projects have a project coordinator 35 All capital funded projects have PMs. Serve New > 500KVA, Serve Existing such as large road widening & system improvement type projects. 26 All projects are assigned a PM. 17 PMs are assigned to all capital construction projects regardless of size. Less complex capital projects may be assigned to engineers, designers or planners to fill the role of PM Complex projects (3) 38 Complex, cross -functional and/or highly political projects and programs that usually spend >$5M. 32 230 kV and 500kV and UG Transmission Projects; these are outside consultant PMs. 31 345kV transmission line builds Projects >$1M • 34 Projects > $1,000,000 have PMP PM's, Projects <$100,000 do not require PM 's Projects > $500k 39 Projects that have a budget greater than $500,000 and have an engineering component have Engineering PMs. Line construction projects driven by private new business, public agencies, system integrity and system reinforcement have RMT PMs. Projects >$100k 27 Over $100,000 Source: Question, Page 12

  16. 2013 Results Project Managers per $100M Capital Spent • One measure of workload is the capital budget managed by PMs. • A simple ratio of capital additions to PMs is only a proxy, since not all of the projects have PMs. Another complication is that capital additions is a backward looking measure that only occurs once the project is in service. Median 2013DRC = 3.5 FTEs/$100M 2012 = 5 FTEs/$100M 2011 = 3 FTEs/$100M Note: the inverse is Budget Managed per PM Source: Question CP60, page 13
