The Project Management world is flooded with training materials. Most of it preaches the same conventional wisdom. Unfortunately, the Project Management model behind such training is inconsistent with how Construction Projects are managed.
Construction projects are worlds apart from software development or pharmaceutical or banking projects. It has its own quirks, nuances, complexities. That is why ICS-Research did a complete rework of the conventional model – and came up with Cognitive Project Management. Your take-away is that we understand Construction Project Management because we live and breathe it, every day!
And what we know is that at the heart of Construction Project Management are two ever-present measures of success: Schedule and Budget. And Budget Adherence depends on Schedule Compliance. (Time is money!)
The trick is ... schedule buy-in only happens if the Project Schedule is credible and reflective of the intentions and negotiated commitments of the Project Team: Owner, Contractor, Subs, and Major Vendors.
The secret to consistently successful Construction Project Management is effective and meaningful Construction Project Time Management. And that is why Project Managers and Planners/Schedulers need to invest time and effort into Project Management Training that is relevant and helpful.
