Project Controls & Business Intelligence Professional · Auckland, New Zealand
Dr. Hassan Eliwa is a Project Controls and Business Intelligence professional with extensive experience in construction, infrastructure, project controls, project monitoring, and performance management.
Holding a PhD and a strong professional background in project management and controls, Hassan has worked across complex project environments involving reporting systems, forecasting, executive dashboards, schedule analysis, KPI performance tracking, and strategic project intelligence.
He is the founder of PMMilestone.org and the creator of the Elite Project Controls System — an AI-powered framework designed to help modern project teams improve visibility, forecasting, executive reporting, and decision-making through intelligent dashboards, project analytics, and automation tools.
Hassan is passionate about combining Artificial Intelligence with practical project management workflows to simplify complex project data and transform it into actionable business insights.
We translate complex project controls — Earned Value Management, schedule risk analysis, executive reporting — into free, intuitive tools any project manager can use. Our goal is to democratize the kind of project intelligence usually reserved for top-tier consulting firms.
Calculators, dashboards and AI assistants for cost performance (CPI), schedule performance (SPI), forecasting (EAC), risk and executive reporting — paired with educational content that helps you act on the numbers.
Project managers, PMO leaders, construction professionals, transformation programme directors, and the wider community of project-intelligence practitioners.
Every tool ships with formulas, interpretation guidance, examples and FAQs. We avoid spammy content and prioritize professional, useful, evergreen resources.
PMMilestone.org exists to make serious, defensible project controls knowledge accessible to every project professional on the planet — not just the ones working inside large consulting practices or government PMOs. We believe that the gap between how projects are supposed to be controlled and how they are actually delivered is one of the biggest hidden costs in modern industry, and that a free, well-written, calculator-first Academy can move the needle on that gap one team at a time.
Our long-term vision is a global community of project controls practitioners who can pick up the SPI calculator on a Monday, read a forecasting article on a Wednesday, and ship a sharper EAC to their executive sponsor on a Friday — without paying a cent or attending a week-long course.
Translate complex project controls — Earned Value Management, planning and scheduling, forecasting, risk and reserves, construction productivity, PMO reporting — into free, intuitive, formula-transparent tools that any project professional can use on a real project, today, without a sign-up wall.
Pair every tool with practitioner-written guidance so users do not just get a number, they understand what it means, why it matters and how to act on it.
PMMilestone.org is organised around the disciplines that hold every successful capital project together.
Frameworks, KPIs and reporting architectures for governance, portfolio assurance and executive visibility — the connective tissue between strategy and delivery.
Baseline development, work breakdown structures, milestone hierarchies, sequencing logic and the discipline of constructible, defensible plans.
Critical path analysis, float erosion, recovery scheduling, time impact analysis and forensic delay analysis grounded in real practice.
EAC, ETC, earned schedule, cash-flow forecasting and risk-adjusted forecasts that hold up under executive scrutiny.
From PV, EV, AC to SPI, CPI, SV, CV, VAC and TCPI — earned value as a working management tool, not an academic exercise.
Productivity, labour efficiency, variation orders, subcontractor scoring and field-level reporting that connect cost and time to real site activity.
We write the way an experienced project controls professional would explain a concept to a smart junior planner over coffee. That means: state the formula, work through a real example, name the common mistakes, and finish with the question of "so what do I do on Monday morning?". Every calculator on the Platform ships with this structure — formula, interpretation, use cases, mistakes, tips, FAQs.
We avoid the two failure modes that haunt most online project management content. First, we refuse to be a generic AI content farm — even where AI assists drafting, every article is structured by a working practitioner and reviewed for technical accuracy. Second, we refuse to be a gated walled garden — there is no paywall on the Academy, no email-required download for the calculators, and no artificial scarcity around the underlying knowledge.
We also take internal linking and reference structure seriously. The Academy is a hub; the tools are working examples; the insights feed is the running commentary; and the founder profile is the named, accountable author behind the editorial line. Together that produces the kind of E-E-A-T (experience, expertise, authoritativeness, trustworthiness) that both readers and search engines respect.
Finally, every recommendation is testable on a real project. If a calculator's result does not change the way a project is run on the following Monday, we have failed in our brief, no matter how much traffic the page earns.
The editorial direction of PMMilestone.org is led by a doctorally qualified researcher.
Massey University · New Zealand · Awarded 18 October 2023
Hassan's doctoral research focused on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the New Zealand construction industry — covering digital maturity, adoption barriers and the link between technology use and project performance. This research grounds the technical voice behind every Academy article and calculator on the platform.
Certificate of Doctorate
PMMilestone.org is a free, independent educational platform for project controls, PMO, planning, scheduling, EVM, forecasting, risk and construction professionals. It combines a library of interactive calculators with practitioner-written articles and a structured Project Controls Academy.
Project managers, project controls engineers, planners, schedulers, cost engineers, PMO leaders, construction managers, owners' representatives, contract administrators and students preparing for certifications such as PMP, PMI-SP, CCP or PSP.
Yes. Every calculator runs entirely in your browser, requires no sign-up, and is free to use indefinitely. We do not store the inputs you enter.
Editorial direction comes from Dr. Hassan Eliwa, PhD — a project controls and business intelligence professional with two decades of practitioner experience. AI tools may assist with drafting, but every published page is reviewed for technical accuracy.
The Platform is funded through Google AdSense advertising, future affiliate partnerships and the premium Elite Project Controls System. This funding model keeps the entire Academy free for the project management community.
Short quotations with clear attribution and a link back to the original page are welcome. Larger reuse, including training of AI models, requires written permission. See the Terms & Conditions for the full policy.
