Abstract

The emerging discipline of Interface Management (IM) for managing communications, relationships, and deliverables has become more and more critical with the proliferation of increasingly larger and more complex global capital projects. In an effort to establish a coherent industry approach to IM, RT-302 identifIed standard IM terms and effective practices for owners and contractors facing interface issues. The team also developed The Interface Management Implementation Guide (IMIGe) which includes IM-related definitions, as well as an IM Maturity Model. The Project Interface Risk–Impact (PIRI) tool was created as a decision-making guide that helps users identify the extent of IM implementation required for a specific project. The increased communication and alignment of IM leads to lower project risk profiles and higher project performance.
