- Description
- The construction industry is characterised by the high rate of project failures. Industry professionals consider inconsistent project management practices to be a major cause of these failures. A leading contributor to these inconsistent project management practices is that there is no one project management standard followed in the industry, thereby resulting in different interpretations and applications by project managers. Given the intricate nature of construction projects, correct project management practices and project management maturity are paramount in achieving the overall envisaged project benefits,project success and business profit by organisations. As such, this study arose from the desire to improve the prevailing practices in construction projects, particularly in the Private Healthcare Industry. Against this background, the purpose of this study was to develop a framework that aims to improve the prevailing project management practices in infrastructure projects within the Private Healthcare Industry. This was done through evaluating the appropriate frameworks and theories in construction project management practices, project management maturity, and project success concepts. This then led to determining the correct construction project management practices required for the successful execution of infrastructure projects. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive review of literature was conducted that covered a review of project management practices, benefits, and theories The review of literature concluded with the main study proposition: Project management maturity has an influence on project success.
