The objectives of this slide presentation on project delivery systems (PDS) were to: provide an overview of City of Henderson and the Department of Utility Services; discuss Henderson's Project Delivery drivers and history; provide an overview of the PDS methodology; describe the benefits, considerations and challenges; and, discuss the results to date. Project Delivery System Drivers included: City's fast growth has led to the need to update the ad-hoc project delivery process which served the City well when it was smaller; growing number of projects straining human resources; many Project Managers / Engineers handling over 50 projects; lack of systematic process; lack of agreed to process for managing the project portfolio; difficulty of planning, managing, controlling and measuring projects; and, inability for management to obtain consistent information on project status. Project history, the 9-step project methodology process, the project management (PM) process, example of a PM sub-process, PM tools, training and piloting approach, project delivery system benefits, considerations and challenges and results are all outlined.
