The purpose of the work program is to provide a useful ‘road map’ that can be used by the
project manager and the project team to:
• Plan, monitor, and control the timely execution of the work, from the day the project
commences through each of its phases to successful completion;
• Track and monitor the progress of the project;
• Manage resources more smoothly;
• Identify and monitor dependencies and constraints between tasks to avert preventable
delays; and
• Communicate more frequently and effectively with stakeholders.
Establishing a realistic and achievable work program is one of the critical initial actions in
setting up a project.
Failure to meet schedule goals is most often due to unrealistic deadlines, passive project
execution, unforeseen problems, or things overlooked in the plan.
A Work program consists of a table of activities with their scheduled dates when activities
and milestones are to take place. In the project management profession, Work programs are
used to guide the execution of the project as well as to communicate to all participants and
contributors to the project when certain activities and events are expected to happen.

Assessment of the work program during the planning stage is where the successful
contractor/consultant will submit the work program for approval.
Appendix B indicates the items that need to be assessed to ensure the work
program is complete and can be used to monitor the project later. Once approved,
the work program will be the baseline program on which the monitoring and control
of the project is based on.
Generation of the financial and physical S-curve for the project must be from the
approved baseline program.
At this stage the contractor will submit the work program showing the progress of the
work.
Once approved, the work program will become the new baseline program on which
the monitoring and control of the project is based on.
Project manager then need to assess the revised work program to justify the
quantum of the EOT.
