Fundamentals
The Interface Management Process
Every interface follows the same lifecycle. Standardising it — and running it in one system — is what keeps large projects aligned.
1. Identify
Interfaces are captured early, ideally during design. Each one records the two parties involved, what is being exchanged, and when it is needed.
2. Agree ownership
Every interface has two sides. Both parties confirm who is responsible and what “done” means, so there is no ambiguity later.
3. Raise requests
When one party needs something from another, they raise an interface request against the interface — with the information required and a due date.
4. Track to close-out
Requests move through an agreed workflow. Status, owners and overdue items are visible to everyone, and reporting highlights the interfaces putting the schedule at risk.
5. Close out and audit
When the exchange is complete and accepted, the request is closed with a full history retained for audit and lessons learned.
Our system runs this whole lifecycle for you, with a configurable workflow that matches how your project already works.
