Q & A

What is an Information Protocol in the context of project management?

An Information Protocol defines the roles, responsibilities, and legal obligations for managing project information. It includes the integration of e-signatures and streamlines appointments, ensuring clarity on data ownership and rights, while adhering to ISO 19650 standards.

Why is information ownership and rights important in project management?

Information ownership and rights ensure clarity about who owns each piece of data, who has the authority to use it, and how it must be protected. Without this clarity, projects risk legal disputes and inefficiencies in data management.

How does an Information Protocol enforce compliance with ISO 19650?

The Information Protocol enforces compliance with ISO 19650 by ensuring all shared information is validated and meets predefined standards before being distributed, guaranteeing that data shared across teams is consistent, reliable, and aligned with project standards.

What is the first step in defining an effective Information Protocol?

The first step is defining the objectives of the Information Protocol, which involves setting a clear foundation for roles and responsibilities and ensuring alignment with Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) and ISO 19650 standards.

What key components should be included in an Information Protocol?

Key components include defining roles and responsibilities, Information Management procedures, compliance with standards like ISO 19650, intellectual property rights, data security protocols, and approval processes to ensure the quality of deliverables.

How does an Information Protocol address legal and technical aspects?

An Information Protocol covers both legal and technical aspects by specifying workflows for information production, sharing, and validation, along with legal obligations related to intellectual property rights and licensing, ensuring there’s no confusion during the project lifecycle.

How is the Information Protocol integrated into the contract?

The Information Protocol is incorporated into the contract by adding a clause that the parties agree to comply with the protocol. It becomes legally binding when included as an appendix or schedule in the contract.

What are the steps in the appointment process once the Information Protocol is in place?

Once the Information Protocol is in place, an agreement is made between the appointing party and the lead appointed party. The lead appointed party then formalizes appointments with the appointed teams, ensuring that contracts and legal obligations flow seamlessly through the supply chain.

How does Plannerly assist in the appointment and document management process?

Plannerly streamlines the creation and management of appointment documents by automating the inclusion of required information, reducing manual input, and allowing for document customization. It ensures the creation of back-to-back contracts with approval processes built in.

How are e-signatures integrated into the appointment process in Plannerly?

Plannerly integrates e-signatures by allowing users to create, approve, and sign documents digitally. Once signed, the documents become legally binding and are stored in the common data environment, ensuring all stakeholders have access to a record of the agreement.
