Project routemap: delivery planning module

---

Details

The underlying principle of Routemap is that successful project set up will be repaid many times over later in delivery. However, project delivery is very different from project set up. It is characterised by a step change in scale with significantly more people and spend. The commitments made also mean the consequences of changing course during delivery or not going ahead are much greater.

This module hones in on the critical transition period at the end of project set up, when the project is readying itself to start delivering. It can help you to assess whether your existing or proposed arrangements for transitioning to delivery are suitable for the complexity of your project.

All the modules are designed in the same way, and each module includes guidance on how to use it. This is the contents for the Delivery planning module:

• Introduction to the Routemap modules
• Cross-cutting themes projects can’t ignore
• Delivery planning, and why it’s important
• Typical findings
• Pillars of effective Delivery planning
• Considerations
• Good practice examples
• Suggested further reading

provides an early intervention that supports effective project set up. It is a structured and tested methodology that ensures best practice and learning about the most common causes of project failure are considered at crucial early stages of development.

Routemap is a flexible set of modules 8 modules accompanied by a factsheet and handbook. The factsheet provides, at a glance, information on what Routemap is, how to use it and how it works.
