Project management practice and its effects on project success in Malaysian construction industry

Building production management practice in the construction industry in Nigeria

“…For instance, studies by Homthong and Moungnoi (2016) revealed the most critical factors that determine project success, including the competence of project participants, the durability of completed work, the relationship between project participants, the positive attitude of employees, an effective quality assurance system in an organisation, the quality of works to match standards, the interrelation between an employee and a supervisor, competent supervisors and regular maintenance of project equipment. Haron et al (2017) identified top five critical factors that influence the project success, including the competency of the project team, customer satisfaction, realistic cost and time estimation, effective planning and controlling, and financial attributes. The idea behind critical success factors rests on the identification of aspects that can lead to project success.…”

“…Studies described several project management tools or techniques, including Projects in Controlled Environments (PRINCE/PRINCE2), in-house project management methods, cost-benefit analysis (CBA), decision analysis (DA), the buildability and maintainability analysis, in-house decision-making techniques, the programme evaluation & review technique, the project sensitivity analysis, the graphical evaluation & review technique, Line of Balance, the critical path method (CPM), work breakdown structure (WBS), life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA), the probability analysis (PA), in-house risk assessment tools and Gantt bar chart, etc. (Haron et al, 2017;Ugwu & Attah, 2016;Osuizugbo, 2018). Most of these project management tools and techniques are rarely used in the construction sector.…”

“…Most of these project management tools and techniques are rarely used in the construction sector. For example, Haron et al (2017) found that CBA, Gantt bar chart, and CPM are the most widely applied project management tools and techniques in the construction sector. The studies of Ugwu and Attah (2016) also found that the critical path method (CPM) was the most important project management technique that influences the management of construction projects.…”

Key Components and Critical Success Factors for Project Management Success: A Literature Review

“…The identification of the five clusters was further verified by their relationships with project management success. Specifically, the literature has confirmed the associations between project management success and project human resources management (Belout, 1998;Chan et al, 2009;De Silva et al, 2008;Fitz-Enz, 1984;Kaming et al, 1997;Ogwueleka, 2013;Pinto and Prescott, 1988;Pinto and Slevin, 1987;Pryke and Smith, 2006;Silva et al, 2015;Somers and Nelson, 2001;Spalek, 2005;Toor and Ogunlana, 2008;Ugwu et al, 2016;Ulrich, 1987;Yudhistyra et al, 2020), project design package (Chan and Kumarasamy, 1997;Chan and Yeong, 1995;Flyvbjerg et al, 2003Flyvbjerg et al, , 2004KPMG, 2012;Limodio, 2011;Mohamed, 2001;Ogwueleka, 2013;PWC, 2018;Spalek, 2005;Stasinopoulos et al, 2009;Toor and Ogunlana, 2008), project management efficiency (Aneesha and Haridharan, 2017;Ashley et al, 1987;Belassi and Tukel, 1996;Cleland, 1984;Cooke-Davies, 2014;De Silva et al, 2008;Dong et al, 2004;Dvir et al, 2006;Gumay et al, 2020;Haron et al, 2017;…”

“…Project management efficiency has since become an important issue for many developing countries due to its effectiveness in attaining the desired project goals and objectives (Haron et al, 2017). In fact, the importance of efficient project management is pronounced in many studies (Ballard and Koskela, 1998;Haider et al, 2011;Mohandas and Sankaranarayanan, 2008).…”
