Effective Project Team Organization in Project Management Practices

Abstract

The study focuses on architecture practice and the tensions that arise within the profession as a result of a variety of systems of performance. Particularly it gives attention to the weak collaboration between the design-construction phases that are composed of several sequential steps called the project process. The problem arises from a lack of organization and the need for project management in architecture as a result of the increase in interrelated tasks assigned for the architect to deal with and the complexity of architecture projects in hand. These organized jobs require a number of expertise working together who might not have same interests to share common goals. The study covers the importance and significance of project management in the construction industry and analyzes the problems in managing architecture projects raising potential conflicts in communication and stressing on weak collaboration in the architecture engineering construction industry (AEC industry). The research highlights the importance of project team organization in the success of project delivery and determines the means and tools of successful communication for that purpose. The elements facilitating team communication are listed as effective variables essential for the success of project delivery.
