WHAT IS A PROJECT POLICIES MANUAL?

A project policies manual forms part of standard project management templates and tools and is a document that contains a list of all the policies relating to a project, and the space in which the project is run. It is also known as a project administration manual.

It is broken into sections, and each section has a series of policies that all project team members should adhere to. It may also cover off task and their procedures. Typically they are used as a framework to ensure everyone is aware of the rules relating to the project.

WHY DO I NEED A PROJECT POLICIES MANUAL?

If you have a project team or project office, you'll benefit from having a project policies manual as a guide for all staff so they know how things work, what is expected of them and why these things are important.

Outlining policies for staff is critical to ensure maximum time efficiency and minimal errors. When staff have clear guidelines they perform at a higher standard reducing inefficiency across the board .

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS A PROJECT POLICIES MANUAL?

This detailed project administration policies manual covers off many sections and subsections specific to project staff, project office rules, site requirements and project management processes.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A PROJECT POLICIES MANUAL?

Much like having a general business policies manual and guide is ideal for any business with staff, when launching a new project you will likely have new project staff, short term contractors and a variety of people working on the project or in the project office / site. By giving them this framework everyone is singing from the same song book.

You also reduce the risks to the project as employees and contractors have clear guidelines on how to do work within regulations. As well as increasing consistency resulting in less personnel time trying to figure something out, or bothering someone with questions that can be easily answered through the manual.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T HAVE A PROJECT POLICIES MANUAL?

If you are starting a project and you don't have a project policies manual, you have increased project risk and likely decreased productivity. When bringing in new project staff, you want to have them inducted quickly and working within the project ASAP so you keep to project deadlines and budgets. We have put this manual together to save you time and give you a tool that will help your project be successful through staff and contractor clarity.
