Reasons for Project Failure

A project is considered to have failed if it fails to deliver what was required according to its expectations. Whenever a project does not deliver to cost, to quality, and on timely basis, it can be considered to have failed to attain its targets. Project failure can be described in different ways, such as the judgement of the stakeholders on project failure, failure to meet the set delivery plan, failure to meet the set duration for project completion, failure to meet the financial forecasts, and failure to meet the set minimum return of investment. The main causes of project ...

1. Introduction
In the current increasingly uncertain market environment, it is difficult for firms to maintain their competitiveness in the marketplace and to increase their market share. In this context, businesses recognise the importance of enhancing managerial efficiency in planning, organising, and controlling various organisational activities so as to achieve a competitive edge over market rivals. The concept of project management has gained great popularity over the last few decades as a result of growing complexity in the business landscape and mounting volume of business transactions (Webb, 2000, p.69).

Executive summary

The success of any project depends on the effective planning. Planning in project management is crucial especially when it comes to project definition.

Defining a project effectively will give a basis of planning, monitoring and controlling other project tasks and activities. It was evident in the given project where the stakeholder and the manager of ...

PART 1: PROJECT INITIATION

Project Brief
In the history of Olympics, this project has been termed by many experts as being the most complex in Europe. A number of factors conspired to ensure this is the case. First, the project was to be delivered within a short deadline that was provided for. Because London had won a bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games, there was a need to have the facility ready in the shortest time possible. The second reason why the project was complex is because of the unique environment in which it was to be located. The ...

Part 1.

The cost, time, specification triangle is a visual way of expressing the constraints that govern all project management projects (Lock, 2007, p. 7). It is a useful way to show the relationship between the key components of a project and because of their inter-relationship, it provides a reminder that changes in any of the three constraints will have an impact on the remaining ones. However, there are issues when attempting to use this approach as the sole way of determining if a project was successful. In particular, the cost, time, and specification are always determined in relation to the needs of the client for ...

The Greenwich Peninsula development is an ideal example of a long-range mega regeneration project. Conceived as New London, Starting started off as an entertainment venue – against a backdrop of a successful Millennial Dome – Greenwich Peninsula development has evolved into a multi-phased, increasingly ...

The project management approach in solving construction issues involves stakeholders such as leaders and end-users.

Introduction

In the process of designing and implementing projects, some ethical issues are faced by the project managers on a daily basis. If such ethical issues are not dealt with effectively with solutions, the efficiency of project implementation becomes reduced significantly. Ethical issues relate to how team members develop and sustain a good working relationship with each other and vary in the type of project and the region involved. There are no existing hard and fast rules that act as directives to solutions when ethical challenges arise. Therefore, professionals need to apply both leadership and entrepreneurial skills to resolve ethical ...

Project scheduling

It is difficult to determine the expected duration of activities of the project accurately. The triple time estimates give a reliable measure of the project completion period (Collins, 2011). The triple time estimates are used to determine the time, standard deviation and the variance for each activity as well as the entire project. The following formula gives the activity times:
Activity time = (Optimistic time+4×Most likely time+pessimistic time)6
Standard deviation = (Pessimistic time- Optimistic time)6

Fast moving schedules are hard to manage due to the concurrent nature of activities and this was one of the contributing factors to the distress of this project. It resulted to a generation of other problems.

Introduction

Project management engineers face various ethical dilemmas in every single project they undertake. Ethics may be defined as that which is good and just not just for an individual but also for the society at large (Jonasson & Ingason, 2013). The reality of these ethical dilemmas exists in almost all the phases of a project. The specific phases that a project undergoes include: planning, design, construction and operation (Oberlender, 2000). The project design phase is one of the most important phases of any project; from it, the direction which a project should take is drawn. The design stage sets project ...
