Project management the ICB way

Planning and control as part of managing a project rather than a separate task — grounded in the ICB Level D certificate and a degree in construction management.

Outcome

A programme tied to the contract, the resources and the stakeholders of the project, not only to a Gantt chart.

The problem

A schedule means nothing on its own: the contract, the resources, the cost, the risks and the stakeholders all act on the programme, and the programme acts on all of them.

The grounding

  • The ICB Level D certificate — the international framework of project management competences.
  • An MSc in construction management from Iran University of Science and Technology.

In practice

I see planning and control alongside contract management, resources and the people with a stake in the project — a report written for the project manager's next decision, not for the archive.
