What is “Interface Management”
“Interface Management is the management
of communications, relationships, and
deliverables among two or more interface
stakeholders”
CII Research Team 302, 2014
Types of Interfaces
• Soft Interface: Exchange of
information between delivery
teams or between delivery team
and external party or language
and cultural aspects.
Interface Point at Flanged Joint
Interface Stakeholder B
• Hard Interface: Physical
relationship between two or more
components or systems.

What is “Interface Management”
“Interface Management is the
management of communications,
relationships, and deliverables
among two or more interface
stakeholders”
CII Research Team 302, 2014
Why Interface Management?
“What has happened in the industry
to necessitate IM?”
Why IM?
• Dimensions of Complexity
– Geographic spread of execution centers
Level of
Complexity
High
– Level of advanced technologies
– Numbers of stakeholders or project participants
Medium
– Project delivery methods
– Fast-tracked projects
• Risk Management
– Each interface represents a potential risk
Low

involve a simple relationship
between two parties, OR
multiple parties with varying
levels of interest/impact on
project outcome?

Less or Least Complex – Project Team Co-located
A Little More Complex – Same Team, Different Offices
Three Interface Stakeholders
Three Communication Channels
: Fragmented information communicated via telecommunication
(phone, email, etc.)
More Complex – Add One More Stakeholder
Four Interface Stakeholders
Six Communication Channels
Even More Complex – Add Two More Stakeholders

– IM Implementation Roadmap
Learning Objectives
• Learning about Interface Management (IM)
– What is Interface Management?
– Why IM?
– What level of IM is appropriate for a project or organization?
• Understanding research findings
• Introducing available IM products and tools
What’s in It for Me?
• Industry established and recognized common language
• Clearer understanding of level of IM required
• Better IM likely relates to better project cost performance
• Earlier recognition of risks to facilitate mitigation
• Effective products and tools for immediate use
Wrapping Up
• RT 302’s exciting research on IM is only “the beginning”
• More complex projects require more formal IM
• Cost growth likely improves with formal IM
• All of our tools are now available from CII as your guide to IM
