Figure 8.3. Change in staff volume during a project. Activities Time Near the project end Project start Increase resources Decrease resources 292 Project Management in the Oil and Gas Industry Figure 8.3 presents staff and other resource distribution onsite within a construction period. It is shown that, at the start of the project, if the activities are low as well as the resources, then it will be a transition zone to increase the resources consequently with increasing the activities. This transition zone will be a high risk, as it will rapidly increase the working resources in the project in a short time period. Therefore, the likelihood of bad quality, misunderstanding the objective, and mistakes in safety proce- dure will be very high. In the middle of the project, there will be stability in the number of resources, so the risk will be less. After that, start the other transition zone by demobilizing the resources, which will be a high risk also as, in this case, there will be a likelihood of manpower shortage and missing the handover or transfer of equipment by mistake. In the same time, the staff decreasing so everyone in the project will be busy searching for jobs in other projects. The list below can be your guide as a checklist for defining uncertainty risks in your project. In general, the common sources of uncertainty in a project are as follows: • Scope of work • Quality of estimates • False assumptions • Technological novelty • Changes in technical specs • User interface • Staffing • Staff productivity • Skill levels • Contractor performance • Subcontractor performance • Approvals and funding • Market share • Competition • Economic climate • Inflation and exchange rate • Site conditions, such as soil characteristics • Weather, as it has a high impact in the case of offshore projects • Transportation logistics • Change in law • Political environment |
