ABSTRACT

A detailed project execution plan prepared by a contractor for a large project can take dozens, maybe hundreds, of pages, breaking the schedule and the work into minute details. This level of effort may be cost effective for certain critical projects, but could be wasteful for many others. After all, it is not easy to foresee the future in precise details. Fortunately for the Owners' project managers, they don't have to go into that level of detail. However, their execution plans must be concise, yet clear, and convey all the essential information outlined in Section 9.1.
