Nowadays, undertaking a project from the initiating phase through to its closing and successful handing over to end user is no more a straightforward affair as compared to the time when the working environment was not as volatile (if not hostile) as it is now. This is due largely to the complexity of the projects; the innovation of modern construction techniques; the conflicting influence and expectations of the project stakeholders; and the increasing demand of standards that need to be attained.
Many projects today failed due to cost overrun; time at large; disputes and eventually arbitration; so on and so forth all in lack of a thorough understanding of the contributory factors that perpetrate to such failure. On one hand, the clients anticipate projects to be completed within unrealistic time scale; at a bargained cost when they fail to clearly define the scope that is supposed to be stipulated within a contract while on the other hand the contractors in their lack of capability to strike a balance between the competing demand of time, cost, and quality; choose to sacrifice one for another. The parties to a project always leave it to the very last to resolve disputes while almost too often did not attempt to put an effort to do things right in the first place.
Project Management Insight, in short PMi, attempts to address the various construction issues that commonly arise throughout the life cycle of a project. Within its best endeavour and available resources and its unparalleled commitment to the passion of project management enthusiasm, PMi will report and/or share reports on 'project derailment' in an attempt to bring forth a better awareness of the importance of strategic project planning, monitor and control.
