Project Assurance Framework

For further information

The Project Assurance Framework (PAF) is the foundation for ensuring that project management is undertaken effectively across Queensland Government agencies. It aims to deliver value for money from the significant investment in infrastructure projects.

The PAF is a whole-of-government project assessment process. It establishes a common approach to assessing projects at critical stages in their life cycle. It aims to maximise the benefits returned to government from project investments.

In November 2007 the Queensland Government endorsed the PAF (which captures the Value for Money Framework) as the minimum standard for project initiation, evaluation, procurement and assurance across Queensland Government agencies.

The PAF is characterised by:

  • good planning
  • effective scoping and resourcing
  • realistic expectations of outcomes
  • strong management support.
