Project Planning Framework

1.46  DMO is improving its project performance measuring and monitoring systems to enable earlier identification and treatment options to mitigate potential risks to schedule. To promote better planning, guidance on the development of project execution plans is being finalised. Furthermore, risk reduction activities (Offer Definition) will be conducted with preferred tenderers to undertake a thorough examination of assumptions and estimates to reduce project risks and to improve the viability of schedules prior to contract commitment by the Commonwealth. Milestone entry criteria and performance remedies in the ASDEFCON templates will be adjusted to promote earlier visibility of schedule performance variances and to incentivise better schedule performance.
