Teaching students to become project management professionals requires a real world experience. Incorporating live clients into student projects, instead of using case studies or mock companies, adds a dimension that exposes students to the realities of project management. This paper will describe a structured methodology used in a project management course to learn a completed project life cycle. Based upon the written evaluations included with the final project documentation, students feel this project is the most valuable learning experience of the course. Furthermore, the positive relationship established with the clients allows this project to serve as a bridge between business and academe. This paper will discuss a variety of approaches to build an experiential learning model and provide a case study of a project management course using experiential learning to evolve a learning opportunity.

This research aims to evaluate the Critical Success Factors (CSF) of project management and  to assess the level of challenges at each steps in Project Life Cycle (PLC). Five Independent Variable (IV)  is been selected as Critical Success Factors which is Leadership, Effective Communication, Teamwork,  Organization and Project Nature. There are four main stage in project which is Defining, Planning,  Executing and Closure. The scope of this research is on projects/events   conducted under Student  Development and Campus Life Style (SDCL). Five projects has been selected for assessment in this research.  Survey questionnaire is been used as primary data collection. LIKERT Scale is been used to rank the answer from respondents. 50 respondents are involve in this research. Data is analyzed by using SPSS version 21. Result shows that the most critical success factors in project is Team Work while the least Critical Success Factor is Leadership. Meanwhile, the most challenges stage in project management is Executing, while the least challenges stage is Defining. The finding in this research is considered important discovery. More efforts should be focus on identified Critical Success Factor and the most challenges stage in Project Life Cycle.  It is suggested that the scope of study to be extended to other universities or industries in future research.

The purpose of this article is to present the process of risk management in project management. The analysis was based on a comparison of two best practices of IPMA and PRINCE. Risk management differs significantly between the two approaches, but it is up to the organization to choose its own management, monitoring and methodology tailored to the specific industry or sector. Risk management is an important aspect of the entire project life cycle and must be monitored throughout the project life cycle to protect not only the budget but all areas of the so-called "golden triangle". A very important aspect is the organization's awareness that risk management is everyone's responsibility, not just the project manager. This paper presents two different approaches to project risk management in two different methodologies.

AbstractMany construction projects are realized with public subsidy, e.g. subsidies from the European Union, state budget and/ or municipal resources. The reimbursement of the subsidy depends on a number of conditions, such as completion of the project in time or compliance with operation conditions. The purpose of this research is to seek causes of subsidy risk related to construction projects. In particular, research aims at addressing causes that may lead to the loss of subsidy, reduction of subsidy and/or a penalty payment. Research is conducted as a case study of selected construction projects and the Czech Republic is chosen as a study area. Set of data representing 20 construction projects which faced the threat of reduction or loss of subsidy was collected from available sources and results represent the spectrum of identified risk causes and their distribution in the different phases of the project life cycle and according to the risk source breakdown structure. From managerial perspective, output of this research may serve as a support for investors who plan to apply for public subsidy for their construction projects. Several recommendations for subsidy risk avoidance have been proposed at the end of the paper.

An appropriate mechanism for supporting design management practices at an early stage of project is crucial in terms of adding value over scope, time and total investment strategic decisions. The clients are not only interested in value for money in relation to the investment in project development but costs associated in operation and maintenance over project life cycle as well. These criteria make possible to evaluate design solutions which can be characterized by quantitative and qualitative criteria which possibly have different weight, dimension and direction of optimization (maximisation or minimization). The purpose of this article – is to compare different designs of building or its structure and to select the best alternative using criteria of optimality. Case study is demonstrated by selecting the best facade system to cover the building. For this purpose four alternatives of building facades are under consideration. Two criteria (out of three) indicate that for the case study the most preferable facade‘s alternative is gas silicate masonry, covered by Rockwool and “Minerit” facade plates. Santrauka Tinkamas sprendimų priėmimo mechanizmas projektuojant pastatą yra labai svarbus priimant strateginius investicijų sprendimus. Klientus yra suinteresuotas ne tik projekto įgyvendinimo kaina, bet ir eksploatavimo išlaidomis. Šio straipsnio tikslas – palyginti skirtingus pastato projektus arba konstrukcijas ir pagal tris optimalumo kriterijus parinkti geriausią alternatyvą. Šie trys kriterijai leidžia įvertinti projektinius sprendinius, kurie gali būti apibūdinami kiekybiniais ir kokybiniais rodikliais, turinčiais skirtingas dimensijas ir optimizavimo kryptį (maksimizavimas arba minimizavimas). Skaitiniame pavyzdyje demonstruojamas geriausios fasado sistemos parinkimas pastatui. Jame svarstomos keturios alternatyvos. Du kriterijai (iš trijų) rodo, kad šiam konkrečiam atvejui tinkamiausias yra fasadas, sumūrytas iš dujų silikato blokelių, aptaisytų ,,Rockwool“ mineraline vata ir ,,Minerit“ fasado plokštėmis.

Quality is a fundamental requirement in effective project management. Effective project management entails a steady focus on quality management as well as achievement of all user requirements as defined during the requirements engineering phase of project implementation. Quality assurance must be executed throughout the project development cycle as a new normal in reducing errors and challenges during project development. Conducting quality assurance throughout the project development cycle has many benefits to both the project as well as the project development team. Understanding the research approach to use is critical in achieving high-quality findings in projects. There is a need to understand how to utilize deductive, inductive, and abductive research reasoning when conducting project implementation.
