5.1 Front End Planning<br />
Front End Planning involves the process <strong>of</strong> developing sufficient strategic information that<br />
owners can address risk and decide to commit resources to maximize the chance for a successful<br />
project. Front End Planning includes putting together the project team, selecting technology,<br />
selecting project site, developing project scope, and developing project alternatives. Front End<br />
Planning is <strong>of</strong>ten perceived as synonymous with front-end loading, front-end planning,<br />
feasibility analysis, and conceptual planning.<br />
Your Front End Planning score is based on your response to the questions below (4 for owners or<br />
6 for contractors) and to selected questions from the PDRI (Project Definition Rating Index)<br />
which follows. If you use the PDRI as part <strong>of</strong> your project planning process, please respond to<br />
the following questions and then complete the PDRI (either Industrial, Building, or both) which<br />
follow. If you do not desire to use the full PDRI(s), you may obtain your Front End Planning<br />
score by completing the questions below (4 for owners or 6 for contractors) and completing only<br />
the PDRI questions that are highlighted by italics. You will obtain the same Front End Planning<br />
score that you would have received if you completed the full PDRI. Those completing the full<br />
PDRI(s) will also receive their score(s) on the 0 to 1000 scale used for PDRI assessments.<br />
