Performance Analysis & Leadership in Complex Projects

Become the performance leader who turns Pi v2.0 data into decision-ready intelligence across all four Pi levels — the KPI and KRI architecture, the data quality regime, the integrated dashboard and its narrative, the package and field reporting craft, the executive and scenario decision packs, and the leadership behaviour that turns intelligence into action.

The program

Every other program produces data. P6 turns that data into decisions.

P6 develops performance leaders who can translate Pi v2.0 data into decision-ready intelligence at every tier of a complex project. You design the KPI Dictionary & Performance Framework (G-610) and the Data Quality & Governance Register (M-640), build the Integrated Performance Dashboard (M-540) and its Performance Narrative (M-550), consolidate the package pack (I-620), run field daily and weekly reporting (D-540, D-620, D-630), and assemble the Executive Performance Review Pack (M-620) and Scenario & What-If Analysis Pack (M-630) that drive board decisions captured in M-660.

It does not own the underlying scope, schedule, cost or risk processes — those sit with P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5. P6 consumes their outputs, turns them into decisions, and feeds the performance evidence base to P5 baseline change and P7 lifecycle governance. The leadership behaviour layer is co-developed with P8.

Audience

Built for the people who have to answer 'so what' in the room.

Performance, controls and leadership roles on complex projects — listed verbatim from the Pi v2.0 Roles Register. P6 is the core program for the Reporting Analyst / BI Lead and Project Control Manager pathways.

Insight is only valuable at the moment it changes a decision.
Project Director
Takes the decision the pack recommends, and owns its consequences.
Project Control Manager
Owns the performance intelligence stack and the executive pack.
Project Control Engineer
Builds the KPI architecture, narrative and package consolidation.
Reporting Analyst
Produces the dashboard, the BI model and the publication discipline.
Site Engineer
Runs daily and weekly field performance reporting.
Lean Coordinator
Owns PPC trend, production and resource utilisation reporting.
Risk Manager
Co-owns KRI architecture, risk narrative and scenario comparison.
What you'll be able to do

Seven capabilities a graduate walks away with.

Every outcome is a thing you'll be able to do on a live project — not a topic you'll have heard about.

Design a Pi v2.0 KPI Dictionary & Performance Framework (G-610) and a Data Quality & Governance Register (M-640) that anchor performance reporting across the project.
Build an Integrated Performance Dashboard (M-540) and Performance Narrative & Commentary (M-550) that synthesise scope, schedule, cost and risk performance into a single decision-ready view.
Operate Power BI and Pi Viz Pro at a working level, including data modelling, integration across Pi levels, and dashboard publication discipline.
Consolidate package-level performance into a Work Package Performance Report Pack (I-620) covering scope, schedule, cost and risk via IA01-IA05.
Run field daily and weekly performance reporting via DD02, DC02, DC04, DC06 to produce D-540, D-620, D-630.
Assemble an Executive Performance Review Pack (M-620) and a Scenario & What-If Decision Support pack (M-630) that drive credible board and PMT decisions captured in M-660.
Lead performance conversations: communicate to executives, coach package teams, manage cognitive bias in self and others, and influence outcomes without authority.
The curriculum

Twelve courses — measure, dashboard, narrate, decide, lead.

Architecture and data quality come first because everything downstream is unreliable without them. Visualisation and narrative come next because dashboards without commentary do not drive action. Decision support and leadership come last because they are the point of the program.

How it's structured

A progression of depth, tier by tier.

Tier governs depth; Type governs pedagogy. P6 carries an unusually high concentration of judgement and leadership courses, because turning data into decisions is itself a judgement and influence exercise.

Four maturity tiers
Foundation1 course
Read & challenge
KPI/KRI vocabulary, the G-610 framework, and how performance flows from Pi level to Pi level.
Intermediate6 courses
Own the production
Data quality register, dashboards, narrative, BI tooling, package pack and field reporting — independently.
Advanced4 courses
Judgement & influence
Executive pack, scenario decision support, leadership communication and performance coaching.
Expert1 course
Coach the craft
Cognitive science applied to reporting and decision flow; spots and corrects bias in self and others.
How it's delivered

Questions

What performance professionals ask first.

Who is this program for?
Project Directors, Project Control Managers and Engineers, Reporting Analysts and BI Leads, Site Engineers, Lean Coordinators and Risk Managers. It is the core program for the Reporting Analyst / BI Lead and Project Control Manager pathways — all twelve courses — and mandatory in part for PD, Risk Manager, Site Engineer, Lean Coordinator and the Independent Reviewer function.
Do I need to take the courses in order?
Yes. The sequence runs measure, dashboard, narrate, decide, lead. Course 1 sets the KPI architecture and is a mandatory pre-requisite for everything else; Course 2 sets the data quality regime for Courses 3 to 12. Once approved, the sequence cannot be reordered without a Change Log entry and approving authority sign-off.
How is this different from Program 5?
P5 owns the standard controls cycle and the performance pack that comes out of it. P6 picks that pack up and adds the intelligence layer — KPI/KRI architecture, dashboards, narrative, executive and scenario decision packs — then feeds M-540, M-620, M-630 and M-660 back into P5 for baseline change.
Does P6 own scope, schedule, cost and risk performance?
No. Measurement at source sits with P1, P3, P5 and P4. MA01–MA04 feed the Course 4 narrative; P6 owns the translation of those outputs into decisions, and owns MA05 Project Performance Intelligence Report end-to-end.
What will I actually produce?
The architecture set (G-610, M-640), the production set (M-540, M-550), the package pack (I-620), the field reporting cluster (D-540, D-620, D-630), and the decision set (M-620, M-630, M-660) — with G-720 Governance Framework & Decision Rights as the leadership communication anchor.
What is the capstone?
An end-to-end performance intelligence pack for a representative complex project — G-610, M-640, M-540, M-550, M-620 and M-630 with a corresponding M-660 entry — presented and defended in a simulated senior leadership review. Minimum tier for participation is Advanced (Courses 1–9).
