Reference Process

Exchange requirements are identified as being relevant to particular stages in a project. For consistency, project stages should always be defined on a common basis. The standard exchange requirements published in IDM are identified against project stages defined within the Generic Process Protocol (GPP). These are identified below with their stage number as used in the exchange requirements documents, description and definition from the GPP. Stage 10 (disposal) is a modification to the standard GPP list to handle the final stage of a project lifecycle.
