PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Module Synopsis:

“Any Management Activity that introduces a new objective or causes change and has a definite
start and finish time is a project” – BS 6079 (2002): Project Management
This module’s aim is to develop management skills for the students in the ever growing subject called Project
Management. It has always been practiced informally, but began to emerge as a distinct profession in the midTwentieth
Century.The students will learn about organization structures in a construction project as well as roles and responsibilities of all parties in the project. Students will be exposed to the principles, techniques and managerial concerns which form the processes of Project Management. The area of study will focus in particular on project
management in a construction context as well as the broader aspects in other fields of commercial and business
activities to emphasis the encompassing applicability of the principles. Building Information Modelling (BIM), the fast growing tool in the Construction Industry will be introduced as a process management technique to translate design projects in a well-mapped dimension beyond 3-D. Project Management as the application of knowledge, skills and techniques to execute projects effectively and efficiently using strategic competency for organizations, enabling them to connect project results to business goals is the way to better compete in their markets.
