Abstract
Front end planning is arguably the single most important process in the facility project life cycle. It is focused on creating a strong, early link between the business or mission need, project strategy, scope, cost, schedule, and maintaining that link unbroken throughout the project life. CII research indicates that well performed front end planning can reduce costs, lead to less project variability in terms of cost, schedule and operating characteristics, and increase the chance of meeting a project’s environmental and social goals. The research showed a direct correlation between the level of front end planning effort and project success.  The following figure illustrates the three sub-phases of FEP in context of the typical life cycle of a project. The diamonds represent key decision gates that must be addressed prior to moving on to following phases.
