Project Management
|
Project management is overall planning, directing and organising each stage of the project cycle, from ideation to completion to ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget.
The project manager is responsible for adhering to a strict timeline, staying within budget, allocating resources, avoiding scope creep, ensuring quality, managing stakeholders, and so on. They evaluate risks in real time and keep stakeholders updated. By centralising information and streamlining communication, the project manager enables efficient processes that otherwise would not have been possible, and helps prevent costly mistakes that often plague construction projects. A study in 2015 found that 98% of megaprojects incur cost overruns or delays. |
"Construction is highly fragmented. Contracts have mismatches in risk allocations and rewards, and often inexperienced owners and buyers find it hard to navigate an opaque marketplace. The result is poor project management and execution, insufficient skills, inadequate design processes, and underinvestment in skills development, R&D, and innovation."
