For the Civil Engineers with experience not less than 10 years PMBOK will definitely add to their qualification.For the Freshers in Civil Engineering Mere PMBOK cannot suppliment as a qualification for construction Management Professional.Major aspects to be given weightage in PMBOK are contract management,Stratagic planning etc.. Companies implemnting Some of the aspects of PMBOK which I know are Sheladia Associate Inc, BGShirke Construction Technology ltd(I am associated in these companies) apart from L&T,CCCL etc
Carefully planned and organized effort to accomplish a specific (and usually) one-time effort
|
Developing a project plan, which includes defining project goals and objectives, specifying tasks or how goals will be achieved, what resources are need, and associating budgets and timelines for completion. |

Project management is a carefully planned and organized effort to accomplish a successful project. A project is a one-time effort that produces a specific result, for example, a building or a major new computer system.Project management in the modern sense began in the early 1960s, although it has its roots much further back in the latter years of the 19th century. The need for project management was driven by businesses that realised the benefits of organising work around projects and the critical need to communicate and co-ordinate work across departments and professions. Project management is often summarised in a triangle. The three most important factors are time, cost and scope, commonly called the triple constraint. These form the vertices with quality as a central theme. 1. Projects must be delivered on time. 2. Projects must be within cost. 3. Projects must be within scope. 4. Projects must meet customer quality requirements. A project goes through six phases during its life: 1. Project Definition: Defining the goals, objectives and critical success factors for the project. 2. Project Initiation: Everything that is needed to set-up the project before work can start. 3. Project Planning: Detailed plans of how the work will be carried out including time, cost and resource estimates. 4. Project Execution: Doing the work to deliver the product, service or desired outcome. 5. Project Monitoring & Control: Ensuring that a project stays on track and taking corrective action to ensure it does. 6. Project Closure: Formal acceptance of the deliverables and disbanding of all the elements that were required to run the project.
Planning has to be done for the Goals and Objectives.
a process for complete a project at right time,with right informantion,in the right form
|
|
a work or project which is done in the right form, with the right information, at right time, at right cost, with the right person is called "project management"
in other words :- is a management process in which you completes your project with right informantion at right time at right cost at right time with right person in the right form with good skills a proper management team focusing on aim |

A Right person at Right place at Right time with a Right process can turnout a excellent job.
Project management is a strategy to accomplish an objective at the right time and with the right cost.
|
given a time bound project, Project Management is the efficient use of resources to get the job done with a favourable outcome. |

Project management is function with goal,stratagy,skills,resources and time as variables
|
|
Project management can be defined as a mathematical function with variables as Goals,stratagy,skills,resources and time. Goals can be a production in factory, construction of an Infra structure project or completion of the software project. Stratagy may be long term or sort term.Structure of organisation team can be functional, Matrix depending on the goal. Resources are manpower,material,Machinary, money and information. And lastly the time most importatant variable of all. Project management is the effective use of the above variables to achieve the Product using the skills of an effective organization structure with optimum effort while utilizing the resources optimally. |

Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. It is sometimes conflated with program management, however technically a program is actually a higher level construct: a group of related and somehow interdependent projects.
A project is a temporary endeavor, having a defined beginning and end (usually constrained by date, but can be by funding or deliverables[1]), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives[2], usually to bring about beneficial change or added value. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast to business as usual (or operations)[3], which are repetitive, permanent or semi-permanent functional work to produce products or services. In practice, the management of these two systems is often found to be quite different, and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and the adoption of separate management.
The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals[4] and objectives while honoring the preconceived project constraints.[5] Typical constraints are scope, time, and budget.[1] The secondary—and more ambitious—challenge is to optimize the allocation and integration of inputs necessary to meet pre-defined objectives

This community is for Planning and I will like to ask all those in construction industry if we have to follow the PMI standards or use AACE rcommended practices for planning in infrastructure and construction projects. |
Please note that Planning and scheduling are different. You are asking about the estmation at the planning stage which requires one to follow the planning process. This is what we are now teaching the planning engineers and it is not just a step by... |
Recommended Practices I see a lot of discussions and ideas on Planning and Scheduling, but fail to understand why very few refer to global recommended practises and also talk about Cost engineering. I will request each planning engineer in the... |
