Abstract:

Project management is both an art and a science. The processes presented in this document illustrate the science of project management. The science consists of a systematic approach using a standard methodology. The art consists of “soft skills” including leadership, trust, credibility, problem solving, and managing expectations. The art of project management is developed through experience, practice, and intuition. A project manager who is skilled in the art instinctively knows how and when to react to project problems. Project management is equally divided between the art and science and a successful project manager utilizes and refines both skill sets to effectively manage projects. Information technology (IT) can effectively promote integration in the construction industry. Recent advances in the field of IT, the increasingly global nature of the construction market and a renewed demand for quality and productivity in construction are making the issue of integration more critical than ever. Design and construction organizations can achieve integration of various construction activities by redesigning many of their organizational functions and processes and IT can facilitate redesigning of these processes.
