Depending upon the circumstances of a particular project, it is possible for ‘start points’ 1, 2 & 3 (above) to be located elsewhere in the process chain.

2.2.1 MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT
In this type of managerial framework, the project may be said to commence with General
Requirements stemming from national policy.
. An example of a (high level) General Requirement is to ensure that sufficient capacity exists at Airport X, to accommodate forecast traffic increases.
In context, it is assumed that the Project Steering Group (PSG) is formed at this stage. One of its first tasks is to identify StrategicObjectives from the General Requirement.
. An example of a StrategicObjective stemming from the General Requirement could be to double the capacity at Airport X.
Note: Strategic Objectives generally relate to Safety, Capacity or Environment. Usually, more than one is selected.
Once strategic objectives are decided, the PSG then seeks to identify how these strategic objectives may be fulfilled. The ‘solution’ selected may be called the Project Objective.
. An example of a ProjectObjective could be to build a new parallel runway 18L/36R at Airport X.
The Terminal Airspace design team would be included in the working arrangements to fulfil the project objectives. It would have to derive/determine designobjectives compatible with the project objectives. (see para.
2.4.1 & 2.4.2)

2.2.2 EXTERNAL DIRECTIVE PROJECT
This type of managerial framework is characterised by the fact that the project is ‘started’ by parties outside ATM/airspace users. Furthermore, these ‘external’ parties are usually in a higher authority e.g. within national government or the judiciary. These parties ‘provide’ the ANSP (and thus the Terminal Airspace design team) with ready-made strategic and projectobjectives in the form of a court order or ministerial directive/order.
As suggested previously, these projects tend to be politically charged, demanding quick results in a limited time period and most often, they relate to environmental impact and/or mitigation, especially noise.
