AACE Seattle Section March 8th, 2012 Meeting
APPLICATION OF PHASE GATE TO THE MANAGEMENT AND DELIVERY OF TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
Presented by Jerry DeMuro, PMP
An overview of the Phase Gate process and its implementation at Sound Transit including a review of reasons for program implementation, discussion of "gate" deliverables, program implementation challenges and lessons learned will be presented. Sound Transit adapted a Phase Gate project delivery process to ensure that transparency and accountability to project stakeholders and the general public is maintained for the Agency's transit infrastructure development program and that construction elements of the program are coordinated with operational parameters. Projects enter the Phase Gate process upon inception and pass through a series of gates as they evolve from alternatives analysis to preliminary design, final design, construction and closeout. At each gate, standardized reporting deliverables, developed as part of the process, are reviewed and discussed by a multi-disciplinary team of Agency professionals with the goal of ensuring that scope, schedule and budget risks are defined and that proposed risk mitigation measures are adequate to ensure successful project delivery. The gate process also serves to formalize interdepartmental coordination. Projects with a sound project management approach meeting "gate" criteria are approved to proceed to the next step or gate in the process. The approval often also includes a recommendation for approval of funding to proceed with the next step in the project.
