Scope & Objectives
Defines Phase 2 deliverables, exclusions, acceptance criteria, and how Phase 2 integrates with prior and future works to avoid scope gaps and change claims.
A clear Project Management Plan improves alignment across owner, design, and contractor teams, reduces rework, and establishes measurable acceptance criteria for Phase 2 construction and commissioning. It also documents regulatory steps needed for permits and funding disbursements.
The plan is prepared by the project manager with input from engineering, permitting, contracting, and owner representatives.
Defines Phase 2 deliverables, exclusions, acceptance criteria, and how Phase 2 integrates with prior and future works to avoid scope gaps and change claims.
Lists project roles, approval authorities, change control procedures, and escalation pathways to enforce decisions and maintain a single baseline.
Includes detailed milestone dates, critical path activities, lead times for long-lead items, and permitting deadlines tied to funding draws and inspections.
Documents identified risks, mitigation plans, owners, and contingency budgets to reduce probability and impact of schedule slip or cost overrun.
Specifies inspection regimes, material testing, factory acceptance tests, commissioning criteria, and performance testing to verify contract requirements.
Defines stakeholder lists, reporting cadence, meeting types, document distribution methods, and how RFI and submittal workflows operate.
