The final organisation of the project is shown below. 3 ELENA-2011-031 Aarhus LRT project – Final Report LETBANEN.DK Project Management Unit Figure 1: Final project organisation of the Aarhus LRT project. The organisation has been adjusted for the following reasons: . The final project organisation is more lean than the one originally planned for. The final project organisation has proven more efficient and made it easier to have a close dialogue between areas of responsibility. In the beginning of the project it was learner, that it was hard to find a common agenda in the Technical Group and the Energy Group. The primary reason for this is that that the individual projects have very different. As a consequence, the Technical Group and Energy Group has been replaced by the Project Groups and Project Steer- ing Groups. ALDIS merged into the AALRT organisation November 26th 2016 (with financial effect as of October 1st 2016). In the project period, there have been meetings at all levels of the project organization: The AALRT board and the ALDIS board have - when relevant - been introduced to the progress of the Aarhus LRT Programme. The boards have been introduced to the business case regarding the covering of the stabling area and the successful progress of the project regarding innovative studies for immunisation of legacy signalling assets in Aar- hus Railyard. The AALRT Project Steering Group: Initially the AALRT project Steering group was represented by members from both AALRT and ALDIS. Since the merging of AALRT and ALDIS the Aarhus LRT project steering group has consisted of the CEO and the project director. At the meetings, the members have discussed the status of the programme, the need for technical assistance, budget and approval of the further work. Project Steering Groups/Project Groups: The project groups and project steering groups (not for all projects) have had frequent meetings in the entire reporting period. The project managers have all invested time in getting the pro- jects aligned with stakeholders and the rest of the activities in AALRT. 4 ELENA-2011-031 Aarhus LRT project – Final Report LETBANEN.DK Programme Management Unit A Programme Management Unit (PMU) was established as part of the project organisation.
