Overview
Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL) is a public-owned utility that provides electricity to 100,000 customers and water to 58,000 customers, as well as steam and chilled water services in the Lansing area. In 2022, Lansing BWL had nearly $400 million in total revenue. To increase the efficiency of their operations, the BWL retained the services of a prime to provide a robust project management office to enhance and supplement BWL existing staff and processes for capital projects totaling approximately $100 million.
PMA Role
As part of the PMO team, PMA is providing scheduling, project management information system, and cash flow expertise to the PMO implementation effort. PMA is working to integrate scheduling templates, work breakdown structures, and cash flow forecasting procedures into a standardized BWL project management process. Additionally, PMA is working to leverage the power of the PMIS to make the dissemination of project status information rigorous, yet contemporaneous and comprehensible. These services maximize opportunities for BWL to make course corrections during a project and strengthen the likelihood of project success.
