From one perspective, the ATM Project managerial frameworks which is ‘lightest’ in terms of reporting structure (there is no Project Steering Group), could be considered heaviest in terms of the responsibilities falling directly on the Terminal Airspace design team. One of the greatest advantages this type of managerial framework is, however, that it is usually possible for implementation time-scales to be decided only by the Terminal Airspace design team.

1.3.1 IMPACT OVERVIEW
It is not surprising that the differences between managerial frameworks can be substantial in terms of the project planning.
In order to appreciate the impact of these differences, a tabular overview is provided below followed by para. 1.3.2 which introduces the impact of Type differences on Project Planning
– thus setting the scene for Chapter 2.
Note 1: Readers’ attention is drawn to the fact that some of these differences will become clearer after reading the remainder of the Chapters in Part B.
