Term Project Development Plan

Objectives: The main objective of the term project is to develop your understanding of a specific BIM
use. To achieve this, the term project has been developed to align with the following course objectives:
• Each student will develop the requirements needed and be able to explain the integration of
advanced BIM use with earlier BIM models.
• Each student will demonstrate knowledge in an advanced BIM use, following it from planning to
implementation in a demonstration example through a semester project.
• Each student will be able to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
Background: Now that you have identified a BIM use and created an individual proposal document, you
are tasked with integrating your activities with a team. The development plan will help you iterate
through the activities you individually are planning to perform and the team activities you will need to
perform to complete the project.
Term Project Timeline (
@ = initial team deliverable, * = individual deliverable, ^ = team deliverable)
• BIM Use Research Assignment and Presentation @ Due 9/17
• Project Proposal * Due 10/3
• Development Plan ^ Due 10/24
• Mid-Project Progress Report *^ Tentatively 11/14
• Final Presentation and Project Files *^ 12/10
• Final Report *^ Exam Week, TBD
Deliverables:
• Team Project Proposal Document, as a pdf, including the following:
o A three-page (max) revised collaborative proposal, including:
▪ Proposed individual activities: Include activity, output, and measure of success
• Indicate phase, disciplines involved, model elements, and LOD
▪ Revised case study
▪ Revised project goals (include any group and individual goals)
▪ Revised software and hardware requirements
▪ Revised description of development procedures
o Appendix A: Development Workflows using BPMN (9 total workflows)
▪ For each team member a (1) individual workflow and a (2) user workflow ‘level 2’
▪ For the team, one ‘level 1’ overview project workflow
o Appendix B: Activity breakdown table
▪ Create a table with comprehensive list of individual and groups tasks to complete the
project. Identify who will perform each task, individual and/or group.

Purpose
The activities and
interoperability are
pushing the boundaries
of current capabilities in
BIM
The advanced nature of
BIM in terms of uses and
interoperability for this
project is described well
The activities and
interoperability is
moderately advanced in
it’s use of BIM
The advanced nature of
BIM is not well
understood in this
project
The activities do not use
BIM at all 10
Procedure
The development plan as
a whole is clear, well
aligned to the
deliverables, and
reasonable
The development plan is
clear, well aligned to the
deliverables, but needs
work in reasonableness
The development plan
has a good list of
activities which align with
many of the deliverables
but as a whole needs
clarity
The development plan
does have a list of
activities that on
occasion align with the
deliverables
The development plan
does not have a list of
activities that align with
the deliverables

Interoperability
The use of
interoperability within
the project is clear and a
procedure for identifying
requirements and
outputs for
up/downstream BIM
uses is presented

interoperability within
the project is clear and a
procedure for identifying
requirements and
outputs for
up/downstream BIM
uses has been initially

interoperability within
the project is clear but
the requirements and
outputs for
up/downstream BIM
uses has not been
addressed
The use of
interoperability within
the project is described
but is not clear
The use of
interoperability within
the project was not
addressed
