Abstract (English): This paper presents the project of designing an agile physical progress measurement system for the construction management department of a multinational company operating in turnkey railway projects field. It has been pointed out that the classical physical progress measurement, based on Earn Value Management (EVM) and so financially based, is not suitable for modern high-tech and, in one word, complex, construction projects. So it has been looked for something different, more agile, to easily fix the problem of monitoring on a weekly basis the physical progress of sites. The work starts by describing the process of choosing KPIs, defines an overall physical progress index, than discusses the choice of a baseline to measure against, and at the end it illustrates the visual management implemented.

Abstract (Serbian): U radu je predstavljen projekat koji ima za cilj razvoj metodologije za aktivno praćenje izgrađenosti pri sektoru za upravljanje izgradnjom jedne multinacionalne kompanije koja posluje po sistemu ključ u ruke u oblasti projektovanja železničke infrastrukture. U radu je pokazano da upravljanje procesima izgradnje i monitoring u konvencionalnom smislu, zasnovani na upravljanju ostvarenom vrednošću, nisu pogodni za moderne visokotehnološke, tj. složene, projekte izgradnje. Iz tog razloga, u radu je razvijena metodologija za lakše rešavanje problema monitoringa procesa izgrađenosti na nedeljnom nivou. U radu je najpre opisan proces izbora ključnih indikatora performansi (KPI) i definisan je opšti indeks napretka izgrađenosti. Takođe, razmotren je izbor referentnog plana izgradnje i predstavljeni su vizuelni alati za upravljanje projektima koji su primenjeni u radu. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
