Abstract

The paper overviews the OnQ project management framework developed in Queensland Transport, covering principles, methodology, templates, roles and responsibilities, project governance model and approval processes. It outlines the culture change approach adopted, reports on what was delivered and what was achieved from its implementation. It outlines key learnings, noting that its generic methodology was successfully applied across a wide range of project types and that it was integrated into an asset management cycle. It concludes with a case study - the project that established Translink.
