Task information delivery plan (TIDP)
Quick definition: A task team's schedule of the information containers it will produce, with responsibilities and delivery dates, for one appointment.
Explanation
Beginner explanation
Each company on the team — the structural engineer, the mechanical subcontractor — writes a list of every model, drawing and data set it will deliver and when. That list is its TIDP. All the TIDPs together make the project's master plan.
Technical explanation
Each task team prepares a TIDP listing its information containers, who produces each one, its dependencies on other teams' information, its Level of information need and the information delivery milestone it supports. TIDPs are aggregated by the Lead appointed party into the Master information delivery plan. TIDPs are living documents: they are updated as the design progresses and checked for realism against the team's resources.
Practical example
The electrical task team's TIDP for a mid-rise residential tower lists 14 containers: the electrical model per level group, lighting layouts, single-line diagrams, panel schedules and the fire-alarm riser — each with a planned date ahead of the 66% design milestone and a dependency on the architect's reflected ceiling plans.
Why it matters
TIDPs make each team's commitments explicit and expose dependency conflicts early, before they become late drawings or uncoordinated work.
Common confusion
See Master information delivery plan — the TIDP is one team's plan; the MIDP is the delivery team's combined plan.
