Common use of Phase Planning Clause in Contracts

Phase Planning. The Phase Plan must be based on collaborative planning by all IPD Team Members who will perform in a phase, who, working backwards from the Milestone Schedule, create collaborative phase schedules indicating when work is required to be completed. Promptly following commencement of each Phase, CM/GC shall coordinate conversations between each of the IPD Team Members required to perform work in the applicable Phase, including direct conversations between IPD Team Members who will receive work or deliver work (including both physical works and information) to one another. The purpose of the conversations is to put the performers in action making direct requests and promises to each other, and specifically discussing and negotiating the hand-off criteria or conditions of satisfaction that are then mutually understood and agreed upon. Following completion of these planning discussions, CM/GC shall prepare a consolidated Phase Plan for review and acceptance by the Core Group.
