Unit AB2 Propose and agree project methods

Elements

AB2.1 Identify project requirements

AB2.2 Agree project methods

Unit Commentary

This Unit deals with the development of a detailed project design from a client's brief, identifying what tasks should be undertaken, how and by whom; ensuring that methods specified are accurate and sufficient for purpose, conforming with relevant regulations and guidance; and bringing these proposals together in a method statement.

In order to identify project requirements you need to be clear about the requirements set out in the client's brief and the limits of your responsibilities. You will need to make a judgement about the level of detail required and be able to assess what are the critical aspects of the project. Depending on the purpose that the project is designed to serve and stage at which it takes place, you will need to be aware of the cost and time implications to the project programme and be able to select appropriate and cost effective methods. You will also need to be able to identify sources of expert advice and support to help plan and carry out the project.
