ScheduleIQ SOP Library
The Project Controls Standards Your Competitors Spent Millions to Build
124 operational SOPs synthesised from the actual project management frameworks used by Barrick, Glencore, and Sasol — aligned to AACE Recommended Practices and PMI Standards. Delivered to you, ready to deploy.
What is ScheduleIQ SOP Library?
ScheduleIQ SOP Library gives your project controls team the operational procedures that major mining houses and EPCM contractors spend years and millions to develop. Instead of commissioning a methodology from scratch, you get 124 field-tested, industry-aligned SOPs covering every function of project controls — from schedule development and cost control to earned value management, risk, and procurement.
Every SOP is built from the source: the proprietary Project Management Frameworks of Barrick, Glencore, and Sasol, combined with AACE Recommended Practices and PMI Practice Standards. This is not a repackaged textbook. It is a distillation of how the world's largest mining and resources organisations actually run project controls.
The library is structured across 15 domains and 124 procedures. It is immediately deployable — no customisation engagement required, no multi-month consulting project. Subscribe, access, and implement. Your team has the procedures; we have done the hard work of synthesising them.
Why ScheduleIQ SOP Library?
01
An uncontested category
No competitor offers a packaged, purchasable SOP library for mining and resources project controls. Major consulting firms embed their methodology in expensive consulting engagements. Standards bodies publish reference standards, not operational procedures. ScheduleIQ SOP Library fills the gap.
02
Built on the standards the majors actually use
The library draws on 550+ source documents including the Capital Projects Systems of Barrick (CPS4), Glencore's Capital Management Framework, Sasol's Planning and Cost QMS, Parsons Brinkerhoff's full procedure suite, and every major AACE Recommended Practice published to date.
03
A fraction of the cost to commission
At market consulting rates, commissioning 124 equivalent SOPs would cost between R 1.86 million and R 4.96 million. ScheduleIQ SOP Library starts at R 120,000 per year — a 10 to 40 times value multiple, delivered on day one.
04
AACE and PMI aligned
Every SOP references the applicable AACE Recommended Practice and PMI Practice Standard. Your team works to the same framework used in AACE CCP/CCE certification preparation and PMI project management governance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the SOP Library?+
The library contains 124 operational Standard Operating Procedures covering 15 project controls and project management domains, including planning and scheduling, cost control, estimating, earned value management, risk management, construction management, procurement, document control, engineering management, site management, operational readiness, mining operations, process engineering, portfolio governance, and project management. Each SOP includes purpose and scope, roles and responsibilities, a step-by-step procedure, inputs and outputs, tools and templates, and references to the underlying AACE/PMI standards.
How is this different from AACE Recommended Practices?+
AACE Recommended Practices are reference standards — they describe what good practice looks like. ScheduleIQ SOPs are operational procedures — they describe how to do it, step by step, in a format your team can follow on a live project. The SOPs reference the applicable AACE RP in each section, so you get both the "what" and the "how" in one place.
Can I use these SOPs directly or do I need to customise them?+
Most organisations can deploy the SOPs directly for immediate use. Some teams choose to customise the procedures for their specific systems, terminology, or project environments — this is straightforward because each SOP is clearly structured and logically modular. If you need implementation support, our consulting add-on covers SOP customisation and rollout.
Are the SOPs specific to mining or do they apply to other industries?+
The source library is heavily weighted toward the mining and resources sector, and several domains (mining operations, process engineering, construction management) are specifically tailored for that context. However, the core project controls disciplines — scheduling, cost control, estimating, EVM, risk, procurement, and document control — follow AACE and PMI standards that apply across capital-intensive industries including oil and gas, infrastructure, and energy.
What language and standards do the SOPs follow?+
All SOPs are written in South African English. They reference AACE Recommended Practices, PMI Practice Standards, and ISO 21500/21502 where applicable. The library is structured to support AACE CCP and CCE certification and PMI project management governance requirements.
How are SOPs updated?+
Subscribers receive annual updates as the library is expanded and revised. Updates reflect new AACE and PMI publications and emerging best practices from the mining and resources sector. Enterprise subscribers receive priority notification of updates and can request domain-specific additions through the custom SOP development service.
