Peter Tignini is a senior project controls, forensic scheduling, and governance expert with more than 30 years of experience across complex capital programs worldwide. He has advised owners and executives on the delivery and defense of over $75 billion in major capital and portfolio-level programs spanning energy, infrastructure, power, and data centers — and has been directly involved in resolving more than $8 billion in claims and disputes.

Peter is the author of When Controls Lie, an ongoing body of work — including a book series and practitioner Field Guides — focused on why modern capital programs fail despite sophisticated tools, dashboards, and analytics. His work examines the gap between visibility and consequence — why programs armed with reporting systems and sophisticated tooling still fail when no one owns the decision, the float, or the contractual trigger that forces action.

As a panelist at the 2026 Project Control Summit’s Modern Capital & Project Portfolio Programs session, Peter brings a cross-program perspective on baseline credibility, portfolio signaling versus execution reality, float and risk ownership, and why AI and reporting systems fail without decision-forcing governance. Unlike practitioners focused on tooling or methodology alone, his insights are grounded in what survives executive review, audit, and dispute — the forensic record that remains when the dashboards go dark.

Peter publishes regularly on forensic governance, baseline credibility, and capital program failure modes. Connect with him on LinkedIn or explore the When Controls Lie Field Guide series.
