By role
Start with the decision your role has to make.
Maintenance leadership decides how work is captured, the CIO commits the estate plan, asset management approves intervention evidence, and procurement sets the scope the market must price.

Decisions and delivery evidence by role
Select the role responsible for the programme decision. Each route connects the required evidence to a concrete first review.

Decision ownership
Maintenance, asset management, IT and procurement use different evidence to make decisions on the same estate.
Each accountable role needs a different artefact: a failure record, an intervention trail, an estate rehearsal or a scored requirement.
Before you open a role page
Difficulty on a Maximo estate is usually budget cycle, operating model, how data is captured on a shift, and regulatory load.
The initial review establishes which service scope, operating responsibilities and client evidence are relevant to the programme decision.
What a role page can claim
Three limits on what these pages describe
Each one is worth knowing before you read further.
They describe patterns across estates
Everything here comes from the estates we run and the ones we are asked to assess. Where a page describes effort or shape, it is illustrative and labelled as such.
They cover four roles
Planners, supervisors, reliability engineers and finance business partners have no page of their own yet. For those roles, the closest of the four is usually the right starting point.
They overlap on purpose
Asset management and maintenance leadership read the same failure differently, and both are needed. Where two pages meet on the same problem, each links to the other.
Prepare the evidence for your next estate decision.
Bring the evidence needed for a failure review, board estimate, asset intervention or procurement scope. We identify the relevant Maximo records, delivery dependencies and accountable owners for the next step.
