Project management has long focused on three elements—cost, schedule, and technical (scope, design, quality, and integrated delivery), but complex projects, particularly those in the rapid renewal area, need something more robust to be successful. This solution, Project Management Strategies for Complex Projects (R10), provides practical tools and techniques to optimize innovation, minimize schedule and budget risks, and build better projects. It expands the three-dimensional analysis typically used by departments of transportation and creates a model that facilitates project management in five areas—cost, schedule, technical, financial, and context; using a step-by-step approach that includes: defining critical project success factors, assembling a project team, selecting project arrangements, preparing early cost model and finance plan, and developing project action plans. |
