Contracts play a major role in today's projects and operations. Contractual performance is defined as the result of the contract and the process and organization that support the contract lifecycle. It is determined by several interdependent factors, albeit they are generally managed without considering these interactions. A DSM is built to first identify potential relationships, either cause-effect or correlation, between contractual performance factors. This will allow for an easier and better decision about progress axis priorities in the field of Contract Management.
