Engineering project management
Engineering project management is the process of planning, organizing, executing, controlling and closing engineering projects. Project management principles are applied to ensure projects are executed efficiently, on time and within budget.
Areas of engineering project management include:
Determining the scope of the project: defining objectives, technical requirements, required resources, and defining work boundaries and project scope.
Project Planning: Developing a comprehensive plan that includes defining tasks, schedules, resources, potential risks, costs, and required quality.
Project implementation: Distributing tasks and supervising project implementation, including contracting with suppliers and managing work teams and resources.
Project Monitoring and Follow-up: Evaluate project progress against established schedules and costs and take corrective action if necessary.
Risk Management: Analyzing and evaluating potential risks and developing strategies to deal with them and limit their impact on the project.
Communication and Coordination: Effective communication with teams and stakeholders and coordinating their efforts to ensure a smooth and coordinated project implementation.
Change Management: Dealing with potential changes in project scope, requirements or risks, assessing their impact and taking necessary action.
Project Closing: Final project evaluation, final reporting, documentation of lessons learned, and full project handover.
