Common use of Phase Planning Clause in Contracts

Phase Planning. Phase plans must be based on collaborative planning through direct communications by all IPD Team Members performing Work in a particular phase, who, working backwards from the most current approved Milestone Schedule, create collaborative phase schedules indicating when their portion of the Work will be completed. Direct communications among IPD Team Members allows the various parties to make reliable promises to each other, and specifically discuss and negotiate the hand-off criteria or other conditions of satisfaction that are mutually understood and agreed upon.
