About "Construction Project Management" topic:
Construction Project Management is the overall planning,
co-ordination and control of a project from inception to completion
aimed at meeting a client’s requirements in order to produce a
functionally and financially viable project that will be completed on
time within authorised cost and to the required quality standards. Most projects have targets, which means they have to built right, within a cost budget, and finished by a certain date. Project management is simply making sure that all these targets are met. Discuss here anything related to construction project management.

many project are estimated very casually taking things granted. A time frame is generally made considering volume of work & ignoring ground constraints. That is why most projects fails to be completed on time.

RESULT = Func(EFFORT, NOISE) EFFORT = Your input (Decisions Actions) towards attainment of Set Goal or RESULT. The Success and % of Accompalishment of RESULT, also depends on the NOISE. NOISE = Negative Impact on account of Other's Input (Decisions Actions) If Noise is in your Favour, then you are Lucky i.e. 100% EFFORT gives 100% RESULT If Noise is against you, then you are Unlucky i.e. 100% EFFORT gives lesser than 100% RESULT At any case RESULTS can be at PAR or BELOW EFFORTS made but NOT ABOVE EFFORTS MADE... Hence, if anyone says I expected 80% in Exam but scored 85%, and he calls himself LUCKY... Then its wrong statement , he scored 85% because his efforts were at par ...

Most IT project evaluations are like the tail wagging the dog. They begin with IT strategy, rather than the goals of the business. In fact, IT strategy should be the third link in a chain that begins with business strategy, which in turn governs the product or service strategy, which then drives IT strategy. Lets understand this with a mid size CRM company Business strategy: Increase the customer base by 20 percent in the next year by providing increased functionality such as business operations analytics and executive dashboards. Product strategy: Develop an alliance with a business intelligence (BI) software company to add analytical capabilities to the CRM software. IT strategy: Create a new software platform that allows for easy integration with the BI software company and others. IT projects: Develop a Web services–based platform that offers universal data exchange and messaging between the CRM software and the BI software. While this hierarchy reveals whether IT projects...

In many ways, a manager has to be a leader, so therefore a manager will have many of the traits that a leader does. However, I feel the term 'manager' applies primarily to business, it's in a manager's best interest to lead his co-workers effectively, encouraging them to achieve their goals and targets. In my experience, a leader is more of a social thing; more associated with team work, too. Go to Discussion http://lnkd.in/wUJe5E

The biggest management challenge in the new millennium of liberalisation and globalization for a business is to serve and maintain good relations with the king-the customer. In the past, producers took their customers for granted because at that time customers were not demanding nor had many alternative sources of supply or suppliers. Since he was a passive customer, the producer dictated terms and had little customer commitment. But today there is a radical transformation. The changing business environment is characterised by economic liberalisation, increasing competition, high consumer choice, enlightened and demanding customer, more emphasis on quality and value of purchase. All these changes have made today's producer shift from traditional marketing to modern marketing. Modern marketing calls for more than developing a product, pricing it, promoting it and making it accessible to target customers. It demands building trust, a binding force and value added relationship with...

Also, banking professionals have to maintain a balance between the risks and the returns.For a large customer base banks need to have a variety of loan products.If bank lowers the interest rates for the loans it offers, it will suffer In terms of equity, a bank must have substantial amount of capital on its reserve, but not too much that it misses the investment revenue, and not too little that it leads itself to financial instability and to the risk of regulatory non-compliance. Credit risk management is risk assessment that comes in an investment. Risk often comes in investing and in the allocation of capital. The risks must be assessed so as to derive a sound investment decision.And decisions should be made by balancing the risks and returns. Giving loans is a risky affair for bank...
