ABSTRACT
Why Take the Time to Analyze This Project? First you may want to ask yourself or others what the project is for? What can this design do for the team or traveling public?
• When should the alteration be made? • Where should we start when we make the improvements? • On what part(s) of the job would we focus? • After assigning costs to functions or functions to costs
We should discuss the worth of each function. The worth is a target. Keep in mind that it is not the group’s intent to meet the target in all cases, but this type of thinking at this point generates some thought about why we need the function, how it is to be accomplished and when. It also gets everyone to participate and give his or her point of view as to how important each category of function really is to the overall project. In some cases, we might look at the function’s cost and ask is it worth 50% of the pavement costs to perform that function?
