Abstract
RT-319 was chartered to make the case for Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) as a CII Best Practice, to extend and validate the findings of RT-272, Advanced Work Packaging. AWP is a disciplined approach to project planning and execution to increase project performance and predictability.  The primary objectives of RT-319 were to validate the performance success of the AWP execution model and thereby make the case for AWP becoming a standard (best) practice for the industry. Specifically, the team pursued the following two research goals:      Evaluate the relationship between AWP implementation and various dimensions of project performance.     Identify typical AWP implementation pathways and levels of AWP maturity.        A key conclusion of the research supports further investment in AWP and makes a compelling case for further adoption by the industry:      Even projects with low maturity of AWP implementation garner significant benefits.     At the same time, benefits increase as AWP implementation matures.        AWP holds the promise of fundamentally transforming the capital project delivery process by providing benefits shown below. Case study results showed a strong relationship between AWP assessment and higher project performance, compared to traditional planning and execution processes.      Up to 25% increase in field productivity     Up to 10% decreases in total installed cost (TIC), with increased savings for owners and increased profitability for contractors      Improved schedule performance, with projects delivered on schedule      Improved safety performance, with zero lost time accident records      Increased quality, with reduced construction rework      Increased predictability, in terms of cost and schedule estimates        As a result of the efforts of RT-319, Advanced Work Packaging was promoted as a CII Best Practice in November 2015.
