LLM and Project Management - The Intelligence in AI is limited!

The best known LMM (Large Language Model) is ChatGPT. The developers acknowledge ChatGPT sometimes writes plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers. Fixing this issue is challenging, as during the LLM training there is no single source of truth (the app is biased towards what it has been taught). The ‘training source’ for ChatGPT is the internet which has 1000s of incorrect posts on various aspects of project management – GIGO applies.

DCMA 14 and Level 2 schedule

Needing a reference or guidance. A L2 schedule should be a roll up from a L3 schedule. Sometimes however a L2 schedule may be an early deliverable long before a L3 is developed fully due to lack of design and/or subcontractor information. Maybe L2 is an incorrect term in this case.

We made the deliverable of the L2 schedule and the client ran DCMA14 on this schedule and of course it does not pass those criteria.

I'm looking for some reference where DCMS applies only to a certain level of schedule. Any input appreciated.

How WPM Works

Work Performance Management (WPM) is a methodology developed by Mosaic Project Services Pty Ltd to offer a simple, robust solution to the challenges of providing rigorous project controls information on projects that cannot (or are not) using CPM and/or EVM. It works by setting an expected rate of working using an appropriate metric, then measuring the actual work achieved to date. Based on this data, WPM can assess how far ahead or behind plan the work currently is, and using this information calculate the likely project completion date and VAC.
