Case Study On Primavera Project

Project success affected by many factors such as communication problems within team members, unclear goals and objectives, unrealistic time, lack of top management support and inappropriate skills, stake holder engagement, risk management, financial estimations. The main source for the reason points to the project management.

Three factors define the success of any project; these are time, cost, and quality (Wysocki and RK 2013: 4). This paper identifies three main facets of project management that were inappropriately implemented, namely; Resourcing, Stakeholder Management, and Risk Management and how their improper implementation led to the violation of the three constraints (i.e. time, cost, and quality).

My partners and I have made a list of areas that might cause the project delays or failure with their respective outcomes. We have listed the risk below that can prevent the project to finish on time.

*A lack of efficient and effective communication between the city, project management team, and consultants. This manifests itself in basic issues like vendors blocking roadways for other vendors, the city canceling orders for electrical filtering components that were critical path, and too many unilateral decision made because "no one was in charge".

‘’Cost performance on project s often poor, what are the possible causes of this and how can it be improved?’’

This chapter a study of literature on the topic of delay causes and objectives of project time, cost, and quality.

Increased Project Size. In many occasions, it becomes very difficult for organizations to anticipate the scope of a project. As the project gets underway, you find there are more demands than expected. In the case of FoxMeyer, the project is argued to have failed because there was no adequate staff to support the project, inability to integrate the whole process because of the size of the company and poor management skills. All these are challenges come as a result of the increased project size. Other risks factors related to the project size, and very

Projects can be affected by a wide range of issues that may cause it to fail from not meeting project scope, timeframe, budgetary constraints to lack of management support or bad customer service. Failures of a project can affect morale, employment, and waste time and money. For a project to be started without adequate organization may end as a failure.

As the last factor, poor third-party contractors could be the reason of the delay in the schedule. Due to low bid amount, many project faces poor selection of contractors and their staff with no technical capabilities to handle the projects which causes most likely cost overruns, poor quality and unacceptable final results, besides the schedule delays. To solve this problem, the project team should identify qualified contractors and make sure that all the staff in the site is competent and meets the requirements of the

Lack of process knowledge and there is no SOP (Standard Operation Procedure) in place, which would have a major impact in the revenue.

Inability to consider all the nuances of real world operations. Poor implementation and user unfriendly software, distrust of computer based (black box) approaches by public work personnel, unappreciated operational complexities.

Lack of project management clarity: the planning activity had lot of material but lacked content, clear action items and lack of consensus on the milestones. The difficulties in the project only increased with time and a more performance driven style would have kept things on track if introduced early on.

In some situation, a system too large to build without an overall plan that coordinates the people working on it. According to Sharon Florentine, senior writer of CIO.com, 50 percent of businesses experience IT project fail in 2012. The most common reason, responded by 74 percent of interviewees, is a lack of resources to meet project demands [4]. Three years later, the failure number increased that 55 percent of businesses surveyed experienced an IT project failure within last 12 months [5].

Proper following and acknowledgement of the timeline is vital to the success of this project. If the project goes overtime, it can cause serious budget mess-ups and furthermore delays.

If there is an overrun in the cost of the project, the entrepreneur may find it difficult to arrange for additional resources and it
