Project Delivery Guide

The University of Chicago Project Delivery Guide is currently in redevelopment.

The Department of Capital Project Delivery (CPD) is in the process of redeveloping the Project Delivery Guide in order to better articulate project controls and policies. The new guide will a web‐based and downloadable tool that will be very accessible and will also allow for embedding links to important documents that should be used by CPD project managers on all projects. The guide will standardize document formats, reporting procedures and report templates, and most importantly will clarify Project Governance structures and communication protocols for all projects.

The streamlined Project Delivery Guide will provide more consistent guidelines for CPD project managers and a transparent tool for University stakeholders to understand the project delivery process. The Guide is intended to provide clarity for both CPD and its University clients regarding decision‐making processes, project funding procedures and timing, and other project approval protocols. CPD hopes to use the Guide to work with our partners on campus to refine the project delivery process by establishing consistent, repeatable guidelines for project governance based on the total dollar value of a project.
