- Abstract
- As demonstrated in research results published previously by CII, and new data presented in this document, greater pre-project planning efforts lead to improved performance on industrial projects in the areas of cost, schedule, and operational characteristics. Unfortunately, until now, industry has lacked non-proprietary tools to assist in performing this critical stage of the project. The "Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) for Industrial Projects" is a powerful and simple tool that helps meet this need by offering a method to measure project scope definition for completeness. A PDRI score of 200 or less has been shown to greatly increase the probability of a successful project. This implementation guide contains chapters describing the PDRI, why it should be used, how to score a project, how to analyze a PDRI score and a path forward for the using this tool. Each of these chapters is supported by extensive background material in the Appendices.
