PERT for Digital Dashboard
DNA
( 22 Feb ) carries following news report :
Very soon, the Chief Minister will be
able to monitor the status of all development projects in the
state, in real-time, on his mobile, laptop and other digital platforms via a
digital dashboard.
The State Directorate of Information
Technology has been working on an electronic interface that aggregates and visualizes data from
multiple sources.
The dashboard will be ready for use in
four months, and with it, Devendra Fadnavis will be able to access information
about the monorail, metro rail corridors, sea-links, bridges and flyovers, and
other social sector initiatives.
The CM will also be able to monitor
information regarding investment intentions worth Rs 8 lakh crore received
during Make In India week, and Rs 16 lakh crore proposed in the recently concluded
Magnetic Maharashtra summit.
"The idea is also to put in place
an efficient decision support system which will substantially reduce dependency
on government officers, work contractors and various agencies. It will be
an independent monitoring mechanism where
in CM can categorize and prioritize projects," said State information
secretary SVR Srinivas.
In the second phase, members of
the public can access a portion of the live dashboard, giving
the workings of the projects transparency.
The digital dashboard will also help the
CM fix loopholes, curb scams and anticipate and lift roadblocks.
If this “ digital
dashboard “ has to become an instrument for fixing accountability of officers / agencies
responsible for project delays , then I urge Shri Fadnavisji to employ project planning and
review technique described in my following blog

Economic
Times ( 12 Oct 2015 ) carries a report titled :
"
Panel set up for Innovation in Govt Projects "
As
per this report, the Prime Minister has put together a team that will decide,
-
how government projects can be executed using cutting edge technologies
and practices
The
empowered committee for Innovative Collaborations was set up to incorporate the
very latest solutions that science and technology has to offer
My suggestions :
*
When any Ministry submits any Project Proposal for Cabinet
approval , it must be accompanied by a PERT (
Program Evaluation and Review Technique ) chart , clearly showing all the
" Activities " lying along the CRITICAL
PATH
(
earlier known as the CRITICAL PATH METHOD )
That
PERT Chart must accompany a tabulation showing , for each " Activity
",
# Pessimistic Time
# Optimistic
Time , and the
# Most
likely Time
Since Admiral Rickover , introduced this
mandatory requirement for awarding tender to build the first
nuclear submarine, some 50 years ago , all US government departments
follow this procedure for all govt contracts
*
Insist that all the government departments / contractors, responsible for
execution of any of these "activities", update the PERT chart
status online on the web site of the Project Monitoring Group
* PERT charts for all the projects should
be made visible to the general public
* If there is any " slippage "
in any activity lying on the CRITICAL PATH , the name of the department
or contractor responsible , must appear in bold RED letters , against that
activity
This
is the only INNOVATION that we need , to ensure that the projects get completed
in time and within budget
