Tools and techniques<br />

For each tool that is outlined in Section 3 of this<br />

handbook there is a comprehensive list of<br />

specific techniques that can be used to<br />

undertake the particular project management or<br />

stakeholder engagement activity.<br />

There is a brief explanation of how this<br />

technique is used and its main contribution to<br />

the <strong>transport</strong> <strong>decision</strong>-<strong>making</strong> process.<br />

Each technique is then described in more detail<br />

as a ‘Fact sheet’ in Volume 2.<br />

Potential problems<br />

Potential problems may arise when using<br />

project management and stakeholder<br />

engagement tools and techniques, here we<br />

provide some tips on how to avoid common<br />

problems. These problems are similar to<br />

‘barriers’ as outlined in Section 2 of this<br />

handbook and can be either process (ie<br />

communication or management) or contextual<br />

(ie institutional, legal or financial) problems. The<br />

focus here is on tips for avoiding process related<br />

problems for your project.<br />

On the CD-ROM... Practice Examples<br />

By clicking on the name of a city in the ‘In Practice’ section<br />

of the ‘Tools’ page in the handbook, you can link to more<br />

information on the example, including maps and<br />

photographs and a full<br />

description of the project and<br />

the way key<br />

<strong>decision</strong>s were<br />

managed. This<br />

description also<br />

includes more<br />

information on the<br />

tools and<br />

techniques used,<br />

any barriers which<br />

were encountered<br />

and a timeline<br />

showing how the<br />

project moved<br />

between stages.<br />
