Synchronous and Diachronic Timing: Insights into Managing Projects from Disaster Management and Fast-Response Organizations

Abstract: Timing, that is selecting the right time or speed, is critical in urgent projects, yet there are few studies addressing timing in project management. This article emphasizes event time to better understand that timing is not simply a given externality and points to the importance of enacting events and urgency.

“…Case studies have demonstrated that lowering a blitz project’s quality standards within a reasonable scope and degree is necessary (Viles et al, 2019). However, project developers must maintain clear boundaries for this reduction, safeguarding standards regarding the core application value of the project (Nachbagauer, 2022), such as the functional standards of the negative pressure ward in one case, as this determines the success of the project. Some standards regarding psychological and spiritual enjoyment must be compromised within an extremely tight development time frame (Viles et al, 2019) such as aesthetics and spatial comfort.…”

Rapid completion requires additional resources, infrastructure, and services (Basu et al, 2017).…”
