Level 3, 4 & 5 planning.

To all planners,

Being a rookie in the business, could anyone please educate me on the distinct differences

between level 3, 4 & 5 planning. My belief is that level 3 is planning at a WBS level. Planning

with activities below this - 5-10 approx. will be level 4 and level 5 is very detailed planning.

Could anyone please point me in the right direction on this one, please?

Cheers

Neil

have a look at this

Personally

I always hammock down or up to get my levels

that way you dont have different programmes its all on the same page dead easy for progres

monitoring and as builts.


yes. i also find this classification of L1, L2.. L5 schedule very vague. the most "defined"

classifaction i hv come across was this;

L1: (Owners) Development Programme (probably each project/subproj represented by 1 barL2: L1 + Design/Procurement + Construction detail to major discipline

L3: (Contractors) Construction Programme = L2 + Construction detail to floor/area/zone, an

trade/system

L4: (Contractors) Monthly Programme = Extract of L3 for 3 months (1 + 2 months

Lookahead), detail to weekly work plan for current month.

L5: (Contractors) Weekly Programme = Extract of L4 for the month, detail to daily site work

plan for current week.

I find this classification suitably definitive, the only thing i m not sure is... as a contractor

preparing L3...must we incorporate the the monthly details of L4 and weekly details of L5 into the L3?

Any ideas guys?


Guys,

Hi Neil,

Each WBS "level" is an increase in the amount of detail which an activity is sub-divided or

grouped (if that makes any sense). A "level" is based on a WBS chart, where any group

summary name that resides on the same row is also on the same "level". Each subsequent

row of names equates to a new "level". Example:

L1 = CAR

L2 = Mechanical Electrical

L3 = ENGINE,BODY ECU, INSTRUMENTS

L4 = Further subdivisions of each component.

The number of "levels" that you have is wholly dependent upon how how many groupings an

sub-groupings you wish to include by the time you reach the individual deliverable. However,

you can execute a project and plan a project at any desired level. But the higher the level

(3,4,5 ish), the less detail and definition is contained within the activity description. As a roug

guide, you are correct in that, down to level 4/5, the activities may be poorly defined. Level 1

is probably excessively detailed.

HTH

James.

If you have a look here, for an article by Gary France entitled "Standards for the Levels of a

Programme or Schedule" it may help you.
