The presentation is mainly focusing on the multidisciplinary design process management –DPM- methodology with its key aspects that has been developed in years, throughout various real life projects in all scales with different complexity degrees. DPM is a management approach based on aligning all aspects, multiple components and exchanging information of the project phases with the requirements of conflicting project stakeholders to achieve common benefits within professional guidance and directions.

DPM enables organizations and individuals in the AEC projects to be more efficient, more effective, more flexible and much more capable of adaptability in comparison with the existing traditional project execution and delivery methods, since it offers optimization in various aspects. In brief it may be called as a “PROCESS OPTIMIZATION PROCESS”
