- Description
- The problems that crop up in each project are unique to that project. They can also be avoided or minimised as inherent weaknesses. Project managers lack strategic considerations when running projects. This is primarily dependent on individuals’ implementation of project management. The concern is how project managers implementing construction projects can be corrected to remove management deficiencies. In recent years, project management has become an essential part of organisations. This is because of the changing nature of managing organisations due to technological advancement and a complex, competitive global marketplace (Nguyen, Nguyen, Le-Hoai & Dang, 2015). Projects require huge capital outlays. As such, it is crucial to have good project management practices to deliver value for money projects and programmes. Therefore, the importance of good project management practices cannot be ignored by corporate managers, as failure destroys shareholders’ value and, in the private sector, can significantly affect the various stakeholders associated with projects. However, studies indicate that companies in the private sector in the Eastern Cape sometimes fail to complete projects. (Fabian & Amir, 2015). Project management deficiencies in the Eastern Cape are as high as those of other provinces in South Africa, if not higher (Saad, 2022). The primary reasons for project management deficiencies are project planning failure, scope management failure, resource management failure, and communication management failure (Liu, Louw, Ngugi & Smith, 2011). Therefore, using different success and failure criteria, this study aims to measure the impact of project management deficiencies in communication management, project planning, scope change, and resource management. Project management deficiencies in construction projects implemented in recent years have been one of the topics most discussed by academics, practising managers, the private and public sectors, and many social commentators worldwide.
