Information delivery cycle

It is a term introduced first in PAS 1192 and updated in ISO 19650 framework, it depicts the process of specifying and delivery of project and asset information summarised in ISO 19650-1 Figure 11 — Overview and illustration of the information management process

  1. Information is needed for decision-making during all parts of the asset life cycle
  2. Information is specified progressively through sets of requirements defined by the appointing party
