ISO 19650 Collaborative Production of Information (How to gain success on ISO 19650 projects)

Summary

This video explores the collaborative production of information in construction projects following ISO 19650 standards. It covers the post-appointment stages, focusing on the mobilization of resources, testing technology, and validating methods before information production. The process includes generating, checking, reviewing, and approving deliverables iteratively, ensuring quality and alignment with project requirements. It emphasizes the importance of task teams working together, tracking progress through tools like the master information delivery plan, and maintaining coordination throughout the project lifecycle. The video concludes with the use of Plany software to streamline task management, model verification, and compliance with ISO 19650.

Takeaways

• 😀 ISO 19650 outlines a clear series of steps for managing information from project initiation to closeout, ensuring alignment with project goals and requirements.
• 😀 The collaborative production of information goes beyond planning and agreements, focusing on accurate, efficient, and quality information delivery throughout the project lifecycle.
• 😀 The mobilization stage ensures that resources (people, tools, and technology) are in place to support project delivery, including setting up the Common Data Environment (CDE).
• 😀 Teams must test their information production methods and procedures to ensure they align with project standards before any work begins.
• 😀 Information production is an iterative process, involving generating, checking, and reviewing information against exchange requirements, with teams responsible for their own deliverables.
• 😀 Quality assurance checks are critical for ensuring the information is accurate, complete, and aligned with exchange information requirements before approval for sharing.
• 😀 Task teams must regularly review their information containers and ensure that models are fully coordinated, meeting the appointing party’s requirements.
• 😀 The information model delivery process involves submitting the model for review, authorizing it, and confirming compliance with the master information delivery plan (MIDP) and exchange information requirements (EIR).
• 😀 The lead appointed party plays a crucial role in reviewing and authorizing the information model to ensure it meets the project’s requirements and standards.
• 😀 A checklist based on ISO 19650 helps ensure all steps, tasks, and requirements are tracked and met throughout the project, simplifying compliance and information management.
• 😀 Plannerly software helps manage tasks seamlessly by offering tools for verifying tasks, tracking progress, and integrating with other platforms like Autodesk Construction Cloud for model review and verification.

Q & A

What is the main focus of this session in relation to ISO 19650?

The session focuses on the collaborative production of information after the appointment stage, emphasizing the accurate creation, management, and approval of information to meet project requirements while adhering to ISO 19650 standards.

How does ISO 19650 ensure effective information management throughout a project?

ISO 19650 outlines a clear series of steps from project initiation to close-out, ensuring that information is consistently produced, shared, and validated. The process includes mobilizing resources, testing technology, and verifying information against exchange requirements.

What are the three key steps in mobilizing teams for information production?

The three key steps are: 1) Mobilizing resources (ensuring necessary people, skills, and tools are available), 2) Mobilizing Information Technology (setting up and testing collaboration platforms), and 3) Testing project information production methods and procedures.

What happens if task teams do not have access to necessary reference information?

If task teams lack access to necessary reference information, they must inform the lead appointed party immediately and assess the impact on their task information delivery plan.

How does the quality assurance process work in ISO 19650?

Task teams review the produced information for accuracy and completeness against exchange information requirements. If the information meets the quality standards, it moves forward; if not, it is sent back for revisions. This process is iterative for every deliverable.

What role does the lead appointed party play in the information model review?

The lead appointed party is responsible for ensuring that the information model is aligned with project requirements, confirming it meets the acceptance criteria, and that it is ready for further review or publication. They are also informed of the outcomes of the review process.

What is the importance of the 'submit and review' process in information model delivery?

The 'submit and review' process ensures that the finalized information model meets all project requirements before it's published. This includes reviewing the model against the master information delivery plan, exchange information requirements, and the level of information need. If the model does not meet these criteria, it is rejected for revisions.

What happens if the information model is rejected during the review process?

If the information model is rejected, it is rejected as a whole and not in parts. The process loops back to collaborative production, requiring corrections before it can proceed.

How does Plannerly help in managing tasks for ISO 19650 compliance?

Plannerly simplifies the task management process by allowing teams to track tasks from the master information delivery plan, assign statuses (e.g., proposed, approved, completed), and visualize task completion using a Kanban board. It also supports model verification by integrating with tools like Autodesk Construction Cloud.

Why is partial acceptance of information models not allowed in ISO 19650?

Partial acceptance is not allowed because it may lead to coordination issues later in the project. The information model must be fully compliant before it can be accepted, ensuring that all project requirements are met consistently.
