Abstract
Alignment is a relatively new concept in the capital investment process. As owner organizational structures continue to flatten, more projects are pursued using multi-disciplined teams and alliance partners. Alignment is needed to improve projects in this environment. CII research has shown a positive correlation between increased efforts to gain alignment in pre-project planning and project success. CII research also has identified issues that have the greatest effect on team aligment. This CII implementation resource explains the process of gaining and maintaining alignment.
