ABSTRACT
Project definition starts when the project is first conceived. Strictly, it does not end until the last piece of information has been gathered to describe the project in its finished or ‘as-built’ condition. Figure 3.1 illustrates the definition process as a large project travels through its life cycle. It shows how information and changes accumulate with time, so that the project definition becomes more complete and accurate as the project progresses from concept to completion. For large projects, and for many IT and management change projects, the definition process can continue after handover owing to corrections or changes during commissioning and implementation.
