Abstract

Agile-Scrum (AS) Project Management, which originated in the IT industry, has unlimited potential to benefit both operating and service companies in oil and gas industry and many others. This presentation, based on the published paper, will show how it could be applied to facility design work as a framework to improve the quality, timeliness, and overall value of delivering construction drawings. The outcome that could be expected from this is decrease in change orders and delays during the construction and increase in operation teams' satisfaction. The design and construction of facilities is a complex work that requires close collaboration between multidisciplinary teams. AS framework enables this collaboration by creating a safe engaging environment in which self- organizing teams can find the best ways to achieve project requirements through incremental and prioritized value delivery. The goal of AS is to first focus on critical work to minimize the project risk and then maximize the benefit to the customer, in this case construction and operation teams, through continuous feedback loops. 

 

Ivan Sljivar is a goal-oriented Facilities engineer and agile project leader with over 6 years of experience on both capital and operations side of the business. He successfully led multidisciplinary teams towards achieving high performance and delivering desired results for over $10 million worth capital facility investments in the oil and gas industry. He is a PMI-Agile Certified Practitioner, Agile Certified Coach, PE-Mechanical Engineer, and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certified. With both MS and most recently MBA behind him, he is constantly looking to grow, learn, and utilize new strategies and technology to improve team’s effectiveness and productivity. Ivan presented and published the "Agile-Scrum for Facilities Design Project Management" paper at the Society of Petroleum Engineers April 2018 conference, through the CSUB MBA program  https://www.onepetro.org/conference-paper/SPE-190080-MS.
