Project Control Mastery | Planning is Control (Not Paperwork) | Submittals, QA QC, Risk & Change Control | PMP Guide

🔹 STEP 1 — Planning Is Control (Not Paperwork)

Key: Planning, Control, Acceptance Criteria, Baseline

EN: Planning means defining acceptance criteria, approvals, and decision gates before execution starts.
AR: التخطيط يعني تحديد معايير القبول والموافقات ونقاط القرار قبل بدء التنفيذ.

Execution:
• Confirm project goals & final acceptance
• Freeze decision gates before site work
• Set scope, schedule, and quality baseline

🔹 STEP 2 — Freeze Scope Using Submittals

Key: Scope Freeze, Shop Drawings, Material Submittals, Method Statement

EN: Approved submittals are the legal definition of scope.
AR: التقديمات المعتمدة هي التعريف القانوني لنطاق العمل.

Execution:
• Shop Drawings = how to install
• Material Submittals = what to use
• Method Statements = how to execute
• No approval → no execution

🔹 STEP 3 — Submittal Workflow (Step by Step)

Key: Submittal Process, Review, Approve, Revise

EN: Follow a fixed workflow to avoid rework and delays.
AR: اتبع دورة تقديم ثابتة لتجنب إعادة العمل والتأخير.

Workflow:
1. Review contract & specs
2. Prepare full submittal package
3. Internal technical review
4. Consultant submission
5. Track status
6. Revise & resubmit until approved

🔹 STEP 4 — Control Using Submittal Log

Key: Submittal Log, Tracking, Dates, Status

EN: If it’s not logged, it’s not controlled.
AR: إذا لم يُسجل، فهو غير مُتحكم فيه.

Execution:
• Unique Submittal ID
• Submitted & approved dates
• Live status (Approved / Revise / Rejected)
• Link approvals to schedule activities

🔹 STEP 5 — Quality Plan: QA vs QC

Key: QA, QC, Inspection, Quality Planning

EN: QA prevents defects; QC detects defects.
AR: QA يمنع العيوب، وQC يكتشفها.

Execution:
• QA: Method Statements + ITPs + planning
• QC: Inspections & testing on site
• QA always comes before QC

🔹 STEP 6 — Method Statement & ITP (Execution Tools)

Key: Method Statement, ITP, Inspection Criteria

EN: These documents define HOW, WHEN, and WHAT to inspect.
AR: هذه المستندات تحدد كيف ومتى وماذا يتم فحصه.

Execution:
• Method Statement → execution logic
• ITP → inspection stages & acceptance criteria
• No approved MS/ITP → no work

🔹 STEP 7 — Execution Control: ITP + IR + NCR

Key: IR, NCR, Inspection Request, Non-Conformance

EN: Every inspection stage requires an IR.
AR: كل مرحلة فحص تتطلب طلب فحص (IR).

Execution:
• Raise IR
• Consultant inspection
• If failed → NCR issued
• NCR must be closed before next activity

🔹 STEP 8 — Risk & Change Control (Linked to Submittals)

Key: Change Request, Impact Analysis, CCB

EN: Never execute change before approval.
AR: لا تنفذ أي تغيير قبل الموافقة الرسمية.

Execution:
1. Formal Change Request
2. Impact analysis (time, cost, quality)
3. CCB approval
4. Update drawings & submittals
5. Then execute

🔹 STEP 9 — Common Site Mistakes (Fail PMP)

Key: Site Errors, PMP Exam, Rework

EN: Most site failures come from skipping approvals.
AR: أغلب فشل المشاريع بسبب تجاوز الموافقات.

Mistakes:
• Executing before approval
• Treating QC as inspection only
• Verbal changes without documents
• Weak document control

🔹 STEP 10 — Manager’s Control Framework (Final)

Key: Plan, Approve, Execute, Inspect, Document

EN: Control is a cycle, not documents.
AR: التحكم دورة مستمرة وليس أوراق فقط.

Framework:
• Plan
• Approve
• Execute
• Inspect
• Document
