This module introduces the principle, techniques and managerial issues, which form the process of project management. The area of study will focus in particular on project management in a construction context but will also make considerable reference to the activity in other fields of commercial and business activity to emphasise the broad applicability of the principle.
Although this module is theoretical, but the lecturer would always share his real-life examples in order for us to have a better understanding on the concept of project management effectively and efficiently. The individual assignment requires us to conduct a case study on the Sydney Opera House Construction Project. We are required to implement the modern project management skills and tools in the case study. Furthermore, the group assignment for this module allow us to form a group of 6 and act as the project management team for a client based on a piece of vacant land beside Taylor's University Lakeside Campus and decide on the type of development.
Throughout this module, I have adapt a better understanding on the roles and functions of construction project participants especially a role of a project manager and the organisational structures. Moreover, this module has also introduces the application of management techniques in controlling and monitoring of construction project resources.
