Governance
PSS

In recent years, occasional delays and cost overruns of public works projects have undermined the credibility of the Government. There is rising aspiration from the public for better project management. Early identification of challenges is essential to the enhancement of the performance and the management of overall costs of public works projects.

The Project Surveillance System (PSS) is established based upon the cashflow data of over 600 projects completed in the past 20 years, and has taken into account all the typical characteristics of the projects under the CWP. It is a powerful tool for monitoring project progress that can provide predictive analyses for forecasting the costs and time performances of on-going projects. The PSS aims at helping works departments foresee challenges or potential problems of on-going projects and providing early warning signals to the senior management for necessary early intervention.
