Integrated planning for the London 2012 Programme
Summary
With around 50 individual projects to provide the venues and infrastructure for London 2012, the challenge was to ensure that plans were integrated and to avoid ‘surprises’ during delivery. A level 2 schedule was created to capture the key interfaces and progressively build the plan as detail became available. In parallel, a comprehensive process was established to identify, capture and coordinate integration across the programme. The cost effectiveness of the solutions was increased by undertaking detailed monthly issues analysis of programme level interfaces; this enabled appropriate, coordinated and timely mitigation.
