This quintessential guide contains everything necessary to implement world-class Interface Management and improve execution predictability for Major Projects. Planning and execution of Major Projects requires focused collaboration across specialty engineering, fabrication, transportation, installation, and commissioning contractors and subcontractors. How can project teams get their arms around it all, especially when these companies and their personnel are scattered around the globe? This book tells you how. The book explains the practice of Interface Management and provides advice on structure, tools, communication, and deliverables. Real-world examples help bring it all to life. I have bought multiple copies and given them to managers and colleagues. I highly recommend it.
