Role of Project Planning in Improving Construction Project Delivery

A project manager is an individual who really needs a set of skills to achieve a successful construction project. The expertise and learning should be based on technical knowledge, site knowledge, management knowledge, controlling and finally executing. He has some ways to divide his working task, for example introducing sub contract or allotting co-engineers and workers.

Project planning is time consuming, yet essential for success at project completion. A component of planning is assessing the current practice that the doctoral of nursing practice (DNP) student hopes to change through implementation of the project. Careful planning will help to identify the needs of the project while distinguishing potential issues and roadblocks with implementation. The purpose of this paper is to describe the DNP project stakeholders, assess the current environment, provide data on the project need, identify the problem, provide the strategy for improvement and provide a case study for reference.

Effective use of electronic health records (EHR) has been the desired result since the implementation in the healthcare field. According to Barey, E.B., McGonigle, D., and Mastrian, K. (2015), “The four most common benefits cited for EHR are; (1) increased delivery of guideline-based care, (2) enhanced capacity to perform surveillance and monitoring for disease conditions, (3) reduction in medication errors, and (4) decreased use of care” (p. 255). An additional advantage the EHR could provide through project planning includes the ability to assist the healthcare professional with real-time, increased accurate intake and output (I&O) documentation. Alford (2003) encourages, “Nurses have been taught the rules of charting, but style and frequency generally are left to each facility and institution to dictate (p. 288). While maintaining accurate vital signs, the nurse also has a responsibility to interpret was is considered within normal limits. One study completed by Albert and Huesman (2011), provided insight on the effort to acquire an early warning component in the patient’s chart (p. 283). When a patient has the potential for decline, all

An Integrated Project Delivery team consists of key project stakeholders who come together during the commencement of the project to set up a open collaborative process. As opposed to traditional delivery methods, Integrated Project Delivery is a concurrent and mutli-level leading to sharing of knowledge and expertise. Much of this sharing happens through the digital media through Building Information Modeling. This is a very comfortable means to share resources amongst the team. Thus, the process builds a lot of stakeholder trust and respect where success and risks are shared amongst everyone. Beyond all these benefits, Integrated Project Delivery presents a lot of positive propositions to the major stakeholders, the owners, the constructors and the designers by bringing them together very early into the process and the resulting a better understanding of the goals, the logistics, the cost and the timeline of the project. Integrated Project Delivery, thus adds the following characteristics to a project.

Ron Rosenhead is Managing Director of Project Agency. He believes the modern day manager needs project management skills to deliver the organisations’ agenda. He therefore decided to write this book to help support them. The writing of this Tips Booklet fits nicely with the company motto “Helping organisations deliver projects effectively.” The word project can be misleading. Many people think of large

Abstract—Managing a project team requires an understanding and knowledge of modern management as well as the knowledge of the design and construction process. Nowadays, associations in the development area use groups to meet today 's global competition and client desires, however, they require better methods for assessing the viability of the groups. To guarantee that development groups are successful and viable, development organizations must advance, measure, and assess their groups ' viability. A project team is bound by a certain set of constraints, for example, delivering a construction project in a required time frame and so they need to see the big picture or have a clear set of goal planned in order to execute the project in time and with good quality. This paper is outlined to provide details regarding the roles and responsibilities of the different members involved in a project management team and what factors contribute to conflicts within the team and how they should be resolved.

To secure resource and funding for the project successfully, I can apply my project management knowledge to provide input to the development and documentation of compelling business case to support informed decision making process. My inputs into the business case shall assist in clearly articulating the benefits, cost and risk of new proposal addressing the business need and how the project will meet that need. I can assure that the document will clearly identify on how the new proposal is in line with the strategic objectives of the organisation with a big picture purpose, goal and value and support in delivering government’s service delivery objectives. By thinking both strategically and tactically, I should be able to establish a relationship between project deliverables and business objectives, benefits and outcome of project.

Project management refers to a systematic and planned attempt to achieve a specified unique task. For instance, constructing a new modern architect building or implementing TQM in a manufacturing organization or organizing an international event, all this need to structured, planned and well-organized. Since different projects are conducted and managed by people, and are involved in the whole project process, i.e. from initiating to conclusion. Thus, the project management domain not only needs a well-organized and competent manager, but also a good effective leader who will lead the team in most efficacious manner. The essay elaborate and addresses the importance, necessity and role of leadership, discussing how it works and ways to enhance the effectiveness of project teams.

Every project is an opportunity to produce something new, to make a real difference. You can introduce change, increase productivity, enhance capabilities of your company or of a client or build new relationships. Seven steps are essential to success in organizations that simultaneously manage multiple initiatives. Effectiveness begins with good pre-project planning plus an understanding of what a project is and what can be at stake. Consistently following these seven key steps can directly improve a company’s operations, profitability and sanity.

Let us first take a look through to some other major business and technology trends we are facing today that will impact how we execute our construction projects. It is no secret that we are living in a highly competitive environment, thanks to the global financial crisis there are fewer available projects with more contractors vying for them. Owners and governments increasingly demand that you deliver their complex projects faster and at a lower cost. You need to provide more accurate cost estimates and material quantities to ensure that you stay on budget and because project timelines are shrinking you have to manage projects with as few time and cost intensive RF eyes and change orders as possible. In addition owners and governments are increasingly savvy and expect you to have new qualifications before awarding the work. The construction industry is realigning in a fundamental way that is construction firms like yours are driving integrated practices in more effective production cycles by taking more control of the supply chain.

Depended upon developing trends of not only the U.S. construction industry, also the worldwide one in general, this research is precisely about the cooperating relationships and efficiencies of a full collaboration, including Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), Lean Construction, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) in intensifying performance of plenty construction project types. Specifically, this research investigates and analyzes numerous necessary means and techniques used for a true collaboration of cooperation of IPD, Lean, and BIM (or ILB in short); additionally, the efficiency of full-ILB cooperation is proved by the examination of two important variables of a construction project, which are Cost Performance Index (CPI) and Schedule Performance Index (SPI), with participation of more than 75 projects and case studies. Technically, three essential phases of a construction project, such as pre-construction (planning, pre-design, estimating costs, schematic design, and constructability review), construction (managing constructing process, tracking project schedule, and controlling costs), and post-construction (closeout work and final completion) are specifically investigated together with proposed conceptually synergistic models of these factors. Investigating all possible components for a perfect ILB and evaluating this partnership’s effects on project cost and schedule performance are spreading more and more knowledge and applications of
