- Description
- This aim of this study was to determine how improved coordination of public works projects in Buffalo City Metro (BCM) can be promoted. The aim was predicated on the notion that coordination failure adversely affects scope, time, budget, and quality. A pragmatic worldview related to problem- solving informed the collection of both textual and statistical data for the study through surveys and interviews. In BCM public works projects failures in coordination have resulted in negative outcomes of project implementation. The study shows a correlation between coordination and project success, whilst failure in coordination will negatively impact project cost and project scope, resulting in project failure. The study was able to determine prioritised coordination activities. The study further developed coordination guidelines that mitigate coordination failure by outlining mechanisms, which are as follows: appointment of a coordination leader, scheduling coordination activities, participate plan and quality assurance plan. The outputs of these are the coordination of meetings, the online coordination of software, a schedule of lessons learnt, the drawing up of an execution plan and establishing performance incentives.
