Project Delivery Plan

Through the exercise of developing a Project Delivery Plan, cross-functional teams (CFT) or Project Support teams (PST) are forced to think through their delivery approach and make decisions about how to proceed. This plan becomes the primary source of information for how the project will be executed, monitored, controlled, and closed. The CFT/PST develops a Project Delivery Plan for every project; expect those fast paced projects that complete relatively quickly. Concurrence of the Project Delivery Plan by all CFT/PST members is required.

The primary source documents of a Project Delivery Plan are the Scope of Work (SOW), Project Schedule, Budget Worksheet, Project Agreement, Scoping Report, Risk and Opportunity Management Plan, and Project Construction Estimate. These documents are produced for all projects with a delivery plan. Larger or more complex projects may have several supplementary documents produced, such as, Quality Control Plan, Communications Plan, Project Specific Change Control Plan, Procurement Plan, and Lessons Learned & Closeout Plan. The formation of a project delivery plan coordinates all sub-plans into one document and forms the basis for Scope Definition and Management, Schedule Management, Cost Management, Risk Management, and Quality Management. See the "Project Delivery Plan Endorsement" document for a checklist of required project delivery documents.
