Agenda
• Need for PM• Initial Project Management
measures• Need for more Project Management• Migration to Program Management• Process Improvement
![Page 3: Distribution Project/Program Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568147a4550346895db4e04a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Need for Project Management
• Initial need for formalized PM recognized
• Team formed to develop PM guidelines
• Guidelines to follow Project Management Institute (PMI) standards
![Page 4: Distribution Project/Program Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568147a4550346895db4e04a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Developing a PM Program
• Focused on PM principles and methodologies– Scope– Schedule– Budget guidelines– Defined R&R’s– Reporting– Templates
![Page 5: Distribution Project/Program Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568147a4550346895db4e04a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Practical Use of PM Program
• Focused on “large” distribution projects– Civic projects– Large System jobs
• Additional feeders, Rehabs, large circuit upgrades, pole replacement program
– Inter-related substation/feeder projects
– Large customer initiated projects

Things worked well, but…
![Page 16: Distribution Project/Program Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568147a4550346895db4e04a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
More PM Needed
• Increase in backlog of smaller projects
• Continued outside influences to be more competitive
• Resource constraints– Labor– Budgets
![Page 17: Distribution Project/Program Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568147a4550346895db4e04a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Evolution from Project Management
to Program Management
![Page 18: Distribution Project/Program Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568147a4550346895db4e04a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Evolution from Project Mgmt. to Program
Mgmt.Purpose:
• To address the existing backlog of distribution projects that caused a strain on our resources.
• To address all future civic and system improvement projects.
![Page 19: Distribution Project/Program Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568147a4550346895db4e04a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Staged Approach
• Stage 1 - Distribution Backlog • Primary focus is to alleviate the backlog.
• Three-pronged approach
• Stage 2 - Distribution Program Management• Address current and future distribution
projects• Drive accountability• Maintain current work load by fully utilizing
CPS Energy crews and flex with contract crews as workload varies
![Page 20: Distribution Project/Program Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568147a4550346895db4e04a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Distribution Backlog Stage 1
Three-pronged Approach
One: Current Backlog of Projects
• CPS Energy Crews• CPS Crews primary responsibility to focus on
customer work requests.• Secondary responsibility is to work on
System, Civic, and Maintenance jobs. • Contractor Crews
• Primary responsibility is to work on System and Civic jobs
• Maintain current work load by using contract crew to flex as workload varies.

Distribution Backlog Stage 1
Three-pronged Approach
Two: Pole Replacement Backlog Project
• Second contractor brought on board to focus mainly on backlog of Pole Replacement jobs (System improvements)• 125 Jobs assigned
![Page 22: Distribution Project/Program Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568147a4550346895db4e04a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Distribution Backlog Stage 1
Three-pronged Approach
Three: Recloser-Capacitor Project• Project developed for installation of approx. 50
Reclosers and 65 Capacitor Banks. • Devices and materials ordered and supplied
by CPS Energy• Contractor(s) to provide labor to install• Some could also be installed by CPS Energy
crews depending on workloads
![Page 23: Distribution Project/Program Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568147a4550346895db4e04a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Distribution Program Management
Stage 2
• Project Management facilitating a Distribution Process Improvement Team to develop the Distribution Program and to document the processes for assigning and tracking current and future distribution projects.
![Page 24: Distribution Project/Program Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568147a4550346895db4e04a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Program Management
Team• Stakeholders
– Project Management– Construction District Managers– Outside Services– Distribution Engineering– Distribution Planning– Purchasing/Stores– Utility Coordination
• Executive Sponsors– VP of Engineering– VP of Construction
• Additional team members may be “flexed” in as needed
![Page 25: Distribution Project/Program Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568147a4550346895db4e04a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Goals• Keep internal crews 100 % loaded
– The contractor crews will be “flexed” as work loads cycle to allow full utilization of CPS Energy crews
– Assignment of future projects to the proper crews based on the work loads
