Project Scoping & Planning
Upon project approval, more detailed programming, feasibility studies and detailed design commenced. Stakeholder expectations and their legal and non-legal requirements relating to the project were more closely considered. Review of the meeting minutes, project documentation, tender documents and conversations will provide data for the critical analysis of this project phase.

Schedule and Programme Success
Programming for the project thus far has required constant adjustment and tweaking. So far these changes have fortunately been small. Procedures were established during the project planning phase for monitoring and controlling the project schedule. The primary method of control has been the initial programme which was prepared during the project planning phase and released with the tender documentation. Consequently it became a contractual document and adhered to much more closely than if it was not contractual.
Notices of Delay
Extension of Time requests/claims

Registers and contract allowances
Achievement of Objectives & Project Success
Project scope was established during the initiating phase of the project, through consideration of the project requirements and necessary deliverables. These established deliverables and requirements (scope of works) were recorded in the contract documents as thoroughly as possible to ensure there was minimal scope gap and uncertainty. Since the initiating and planning phases the focus has been on the delivery and achievement of this defined scope of works. To ensure these objectives are still attainable it been important to monitor, document and explain the repercussions in terms of the program schedule and budgets any requests for changes to scope.
