Use cases MIDP and TIDPs

Run the MIDP without becoming the reminder system

A master information delivery plan (MIDP) is the ISO 19650 plan of all the information a delivery team will produce: who produces each deliverable, when it's due and what it must contain. It combines every task team's TIDP. In Plannerly you list it, agree it with each team, get it signed and track it in one place.

Free plan, no card. Task teams never pay to join your project.

Plannerly Scope: the master information delivery plan, listing the architect's and contractor's deliverables, from the drawing package and room data sheets to the cost plan and method statement, each tagged with the team that produces it

The problem

Why the MIDP spreadsheet dies in week three

ISO 19650 asks every task team for a TIDP and you for one MIDP. What you get is a spreadsheet: hundreds of rows at kick-off, MIDP_FINAL_v14 by week three, and Friday afternoons chasing teams for files and dates. The four steps below take the chasing off your desk.

  • List: paste your lists, get every file named
  • Agree: Build Scope, owners, timeline and RACI
  • Sign: the contract document and e-signatures
  • Track: CDE Connect and dashboards that build themselves

How it works

Stop chasing task teams: list every deliverable, agree who does it, get it signed, then track it

  1. List every deliverable

    Your deliverables are scattered across drawing registers, spreadsheets and emails. Paste them in: every line becomes a named file request, with your naming convention applied, ready to give to a task team.

    Every required file named, by team and milestone
  2. Agree who does what

    Nobody remembers agreeing to their row. Give each deliverable one accountable team and a responsible person, set dates on the timeline, and settle objections in comments on the line itself.

    Each task team's TIDP agreed, on the record
  3. Get each team to sign

    Nobody reads a contract full of everyone else's work. One click makes each team a contract with only its own deliverables, RACI and timeline, sent for e-signature, with every signed version kept.

    Every team signed for its own part
  4. Track what arrives

    No more Friday afternoons chasing. Delivered files fill their requests, reminders go out before starts and deadlines, and the progress charts update automatically - click any segment to see the files behind it.

    Progress you can show without building a report

The four steps, as they happen

List

Paste your list, get every file named

Paste the lists you already have and each line becomes a named file request. Build Scope then groups them into a plan by team and milestone, ready to agree.

  • Start from the spreadsheet you have
  • Every file named to your standard
  • A scope built from the list, not retyped
Watch this step, from 11:50

Agree

Owners and dates on one timeline

Give each task an owner, set the dates and link what depends on what. Work packages keep each team's list apart, and the timeline shows who is overloaded before it becomes a problem.

  • A work package for each team
  • Dependencies on the timeline
  • Each person's load at a glance
Watch this step, from 23:41

Sign

A contract each team signs

Pack the agreed plan into a contract for each team: their deliverables and dates, and nothing else. Request the signatures and everyone signs in Plannerly, with a record of who signed what and when.

  • One contract per team
  • E-signatures without leaving Plannerly
  • A signed record of what was agreed
Watch this step, from 28:20

Track

Dashboards that build themselves

Add charts of file delivery and task status to the project, and they update as files arrive. Nobody updates a tracker on Friday afternoon, and everyone sees the same numbers.

  • File delivery progress at a glance
  • Updated as files arrive
  • The same numbers for everyone
Watch this step, from 41:05

Questions

MIDP and TIDP questions, answered

What is a MIDP (master information delivery plan)?
The master information delivery plan (MIDP) is the plan of every piece of information a delivery team will produce on an ISO 19650 project: each information container (a model, drawing, schedule or report), who produces it, which information delivery milestone it's due at and what it must contain. The lead appointed party builds it by combining every task team's TIDP, then keeps it up to date as the project runs. Our guide to the MIDP and TIDP goes through what belongs on each line.
What is a TIDP?
A task information delivery plan (TIDP) is one task team's list of the information containers it will deliver. For each one it gives the name and title, any predecessors it depends on, its level of information need, the estimated production time, who produces it and the delivery milestone it's due at. The architect, the structural engineer and each specialist subcontractor write their own, and together they make the MIDP. The Level 3 lesson on creating the MIDP and TIDPs builds one on screen.
What's the difference between a MIDP and a TIDP?
Scope and owner. A TIDP covers one task team's deliverables and belongs to that team. The MIDP covers every task team's deliverables in one coordinated plan and belongs to the lead appointed party, who checks the TIDPs fit together: no gaps, no clashing dates, dependencies in the right order. In Plannerly they're the same records seen two ways - filter by team for its TIDP, show every team for the MIDP - so the two can't drift apart. The Help Center shows how to set it up.
Who is responsible for the MIDP under ISO 19650?
The lead appointed party - usually the main contractor or lead designer for that appointment. ISO 19650-2 asks each task team to establish its TIDP (clause 5.4.4) and the lead appointed party to bring them together into the MIDP (clause 5.4.5), which then becomes part of its appointment. The appointing party, the client, doesn't write it, but should see it agreed and track delivery against it. Our lesson on ISO 19650 roles and responsibilities explains who's who.
When is the MIDP produced and updated?
It's put together at appointment, so it can go into the appointment documents, then confirmed as the team mobilises and kept up to date through information production as dates move and scope changes. A MIDP that isn't updated stops being a plan, which is why it shouldn't live in a file someone has to remember to re-issue. The ISO 19650 process diagram shows where it sits.
Is the MIDP being renamed?
Possibly. The draft revision of ISO 19650 proposes calling the MIDP and TIDPs the information production schedule (IPS), and the BEP the information production plan. Nothing changes until the revised standard is published, and the job stays the same: who delivers what and when, agreed and tracked. Our Help Center explains the proposed ISO 19650 revisions and walks through building an IPS in Plannerly.
Is there a free MIDP template?
Yes. The MIDP Survival Kit on this page gives you a starter MIDP project for a free Plannerly account, with three ISO 19650 PDFs to go with it. If your deliverables already live in a spreadsheet or a drawing register, paste them in instead: every line becomes a named file request, so you start from your own list rather than a blank template. Each task team's TIDP comes from the same plan, so you don't need a separate TIDP template. Start free.
What does a MIDP example look like?
Each line is one information container: a name that follows the project's naming convention, a title, the task team and person producing it, the milestone it's due at, its level of information need and its dependencies. Episode 1's replay builds a real example from an empty project, and the step-by-step workflow guide builds one click by click.
Do my task teams need to pay for Plannerly?
No. They join your project at no cost to them. On Pro, editors and viewers are unlimited, so every task team can work in the plan. On Free you're the editor, and everyone you invite can view the plan and comment on it. Compare the plans.
Will Plannerly chase task teams for me?
It does the reminding you'd otherwise do by hand. Everyone assigned to a task is reminded 7 days before it starts, 3 days before it's due and again if it's overdue, and you can adjust the timings. The progress charts update automatically, so they show what's still outstanding without anyone updating a tracker. You still decide what to do about a late team - you just stop being the one who has to notice. See how to schedule your scope.
Can I export the MIDP to Excel or PDF?
Yes. Export it to PDF on any plan and to Excel on Pro, or combine the MIDP with your EIR and BEP into one formatted package. Each team's contract carries only its own deliverables, RACI and timeline. The Help Center covers exporting scope to Excel and exporting to PDF or Word.
Can I run the MIDP on the Free plan?
Yes. Set up your MIDP on Free, on up to five projects, and invite every task team to view it and comment on it. Free includes two e-signatures, so you can try a signed contract; Pro makes editors and e-signatures unlimited. Start a 14-day Pro trial from your account to try everything, with no card and nothing to cancel. Compare the plans.
