Synthesis of Information Related to Airport Practices. Topic S01-31. United States Airport Experience with Multi-Disciplinary Program and Project Teams

Airports continually focus on practical and functional needs of the airport environment to address a multitude of issues and opportunities. These issues and opportunities range from in-house programs to large-scale capital projects and initiatives, or establish programs to address small-scale everyday issues. These programs and projects take time to envision, build consensus, and deliver; and most airports utilize a mix of approaches and team management methodologies to accomplish these tasks within a demanding schedule and constrained budget. However, some airports have established a process to bring together a multi-disciplinary team to engage all stakeholder groups from the development to the completion of the program or projects. Engaging a diverse team with a collaborative decision-making process provides a shared understanding of the issues and opportunities for all stakeholders. Airports of all sizes can benefit from understanding the process of establishing a multi-disciplinary team, including how airports identify responsibilities of each team member and keep the team and stakeholders engaged throughout the life of the project. The objective of this synthesis is to document airport practices and processes in assembling and maintaining multi-disciplinary program and project teams adaptable for in-house to large-scale capital projects and initiatives. The audience for this synthesis is for a broad spectrum ranging from small-General Aviation to large-hub airports.
