Hi …I am getting conflicting information on these two questions for Project Management exam: 1. Outline Specs are provided at the end of SD or DD phase? 2. Which is the longest design phase : SD or CD ? Please throw light on these questions. Thanks in advance .

  1. Per B101, outline specifications are a basic service of the DD phase. For the SD phase (prior to outline specifications), a narrative describing the major materials and systems to be used is typically incorporated in the SD deliverables. This is referred to as the narrative specification, and would only contain information related to systems and materials in their most basic detail.
     In addition to B101, refer to AHPP 662 & 956
  2. For traditional DBB projects, the CD phase is longest; this aligns with the typical fee allocation of about 40% - whereas SD only accounts for about 15%.
     Refer to figure 10.20 on AHPP 649

  Thank you Matthew. That was my understanding too but a few study guides state otherwise. Appreciate your quick turnaround.
