Purpose and Background

Construction projects are unique, complex endeavors that require the facilitated collaboration of multiple stakeholders and contracted parties over time to produce a completed facility that meets its owners’ requirements and expectations. A well-managed design phase is crucial to enabling project success by providing the necessary skills and deliverables to allow a project to be constructed. A poorly managed design phase can cause schedule delays, cost overruns, quality issues, rework, unnecessary claims, contentious relationships, and potential project failure. This course introduces the fundamentals of design-phase project management tools, techniques, procedures, and practices to enable the project team to effectively manage this critical phase of the project.
