CONTROLS & PLANNING BUSINESS
STANDARD
Function Requirements
 All tenders and contracts will develop a Controls &
Planning Management Plan (either as a standalone Plan
or a Sub-Plan to the Project Management Plan)

 All tenders and contracts will develop and maintain a

Level 3 Integrated Master Program (L3 IMP). Integrated
Master Program’s are to be cross-functional and inclusive
of the full scope of works. The Integrated Master Program
shall be substantiated by a Basis of Schedule document
that captures the key determinants of the program.

 All tenders and contracts will develop a Level 1 Summary

Schematic Program (SSP) to communicate the overall
project execution strategy as captured in the L3 IMP.
CONTROLS & PLANNING BUSINESS
STANDARD
Minimum Program Requirements
 The L3 IMP will be developed and maintained using Primavera P6**. Summarised
Master Programs (Level 2) will likewise be developed and maintained in that toolset.
 Use of Primavera P6 for the development and maintenance of Level 1, Level 4 and
Level 5 programs is optional. Irrespective of the toolset used, alignment with the
Integrated Master Program shall be maintained at all times.
 Progress and performance against all programs is to be measured against a realistic
and achievable baseline. All performance measures are to be quantifiable, measurable
and assessed against defined performance thresholds.
 In all cases, programs are to be developed and maintained in accordance with the
defined LCPL Program Hierarchy and the associated Our Way process requirements and
are to be cognisant of contractual, legislative and stakeholder requirements
