Introduction to the Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI)
How can you improve scope definition and reduce project risk?
Find out how your project teams can leverage the Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) to objectively assess their progress on scope development, and work collaboratively to identify gaps and risks early in front end planning – before detailed design and construction begin.
During this live presentation, we’ll start by addressing the underlying question “How does improved scope definition deliver increased project performance?” to “How does improved scope definition deliver better project performance?”
Next, we’ll discuss the relationship between front end planning and project performance, introduce PDRI and its impact on scope definition during front end planning, and explain how PDRI delivers immediate results to your capital program, including:
Improved cost & schedule performance, resulting in cost savings of up to 25% and schedule reductions of up to 17%.
Increased team alignment for owners, consultants, and design contractors.
Better risk transparency to clearly communicate project risks and action items to all stakeholders.
Learning Objectives
- Use PDRI to assess scope development and identify early risks.
- Improve cost and schedule performance with PDRI.
