INTRODUCTION  \nThere are at least three good reasons to elaborate a Project Execution Plan (PEP) for a specific project, prior to the commencement of works:  \n1. Changes for a specific project can be made in the planning phase at relatively low cost and high impact on the project outcome. Once the project is being executed, the implementation of changes becomes expensive, if not impossible to achieve (see Fig. 1)  \n2. A project, by far, does not only consist of its participants. Its success is highly influenced by the organization system that governs the different project management areas, such as execution procedures, control strategies, procurement, quality plan, policies, etc.  \n3. Experience shows that most project failures are due to lack of planning and/or communication. Hence, the better is the planning, the better are the chances of success  \nA Project Execution Plan is a written document which summarizes the planning work for a specific project in a structured format. It provides agreed baseline definitions with regards to scope, time, quality and costs, as well as for other key management areas. Furthermore, it sets out the project objectives, the roles and responsibilities of its members, communication strategy, risk assessment, relative priorities and the project execution strategy.  \n2. PEP CONTENTS  \nMuch of a Project Execution Plan (PEP) will be standardized and compiled as part of the company’s Project Handbook, i.e. the company standard guidelines, definitions of overall goals and methodologies to develop projects. However, this standard will need to be adapted to meet the particular circumstances of each project.  \nA typical PEP might cover the items listed below:  \n􀁹 Project Brief  \n􀁹 Roles, responsibilities and authorities  \n􀁹 Project Baselines (Scope, Schedule, Budget)  \n􀁹 Project Communication Plan  \n􀁹 Document Management System  \n􀁹 Project Risk register  \n􀁹 Contracting and procurement  \n􀁹 Safety and environmental issues, incl. construction design and management regulations  \n􀁹 Quality assurance/ Quality Control Strategies  \n􀁹 Commissioning strategies  \n􀁹 Close out and final documentation  \nThe following sections of the present document provide a brief outline of some of the main chapters of a Project Execution Plan.  \nFig. 1: Schematic illustration of the impact and cost behavior due to changes, if performed at different stages of the projects. At an early stage of a project (e.g. planning phase), important changes to the project outcome can be made at relatively low cost. The situation is dramatically different during later project stages; during construction for example, only limited changes are possible and resulting costs grow exponentially.  \n2.1 Project Brief  \nThe Project Brief is a detailed description of the project, which includes a formal statement of its objectives and functional and operational requirements.  \nIn some cases, the project brief is in sufficient detail to enable the design team to execute the detailed design and the specification of the work to be performed.  \nIn the case of industrial facilities however, execution of the detail design also requires highly specialized inputs from various engineering disciplines. Such process-related inputs are generally referred to as basic engineering.  \nThe key components of the Project Brief include the Project Definition and Project Approach, which are described throughout the following key elements:  \n􀁹 Background  \n􀁹 Site description  \n􀁹 Project objectives and desired outcomes  \n􀁹 Project scope and exclusions  \n􀁹 Constraints and assumptions  \n􀁹 Project Stakeholders and key success factors  \n2.2 Roles & Responsibilities  \nThere are different responsibility levels within the structure of a project, and each one corresponds to a different ","cbCaievTwrni18CX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaievTwrni18CX","pdf",780889,"English","# INTRODUCTION\n## PEP contents\n## Project Brief\n## Roles & Responsibilities","[{\"question\":\"Why is it important to elaborate a Project Execution Plan (PEP) before starting works?\",\"answer\":\"Changes can be made during planning at relatively low cost with high impact.
