| Webinar: Interface management–effective management of technical interfaces on complex projects to reduce costs, risks & schedule slippage | |
| Date: | April 22, 2010 |
| Place: | USA |
|
Interface management involves the control of all the technical interfaces between the various stakeholders involved in the project these including the owner, PMC, EPCs, package suppliers and design institutes etc. and agreeing the roles, responsibilities and timing of delivery of necessary information between the stakeholders. The objective of interface management is to avoid interfaces impacting project cost, schedule or quality. Experience from major development projects shows that problems most often arise at the interface between organizations and their scopes of responsibility.
