Uncertainty and Project Management in Construction Projects: Approaches used by public clients

Construction projects are filled with uncertainty. Such projects are becoming more complex: Many different interrelated aspects that are subject to change play a role in the delivery of construction work. This makes it interesting to know what exactly is uncertain in these projects, and what can be done to manage uncertainty. The aim of this...

Flexibility in managing complex infrastructure projects: How flexibility enablers can facilitate the management of project complexity

Nowadays, infrastructure projects seem to become more complex and the project manager’s ability to control projects decreases. Therefore, it is crucial to adapt project management to cope with the emerging complexity. Flexibility options are explored to deal with the increasing complexity. To grasp complexity, a selection of the Technical,...

Increasing complexity to improve project success

A large number of the project organisations of large infrastructure construction projects have difficulties coping with the current static and dynamic project complexities. Researches, however, suggest that adding extra complexities to the project could create synergies and therefore new solutions. An increase in project complexity could...

Managing project complexity: A study into adapting early project phases to improve project performance in large engineering projects

Engineering projects become increasingly more complex and project complexity is assumed to be one of the causes for projects being delivered late and over budget. However, what this project complexity actually comprised of was unclear. To improve the overall project performance, this study focuses on identifying the potential causes of...
