Project Information Management
Bringing different types of information sources – documents, drawings, 3D models and asset information – together is a key function in project management. It is critical to ensure the right things are in the right place in time for handing over to the railway operators and maintainers. The Learning Legacy includes a set of papers that present our approach to Project Information Management, the use of information metrics and the creation of an Information Academy. All of which illustrate the importance of creating the right understanding of information as a key project asset, and the need to engender the right behaviours from people who create and use it.
