PROJECT INITIATION PLANING AND EXRCUTION2
Annotated bibliography
1.0 Introduction
The modern day organizations are facing the need of managing their organizations in
accordance to the scientific management policies. In order to achieve that, the management of
the organizations are observed to focus on the identification of the effective sustainable
engineering management practices. According to Kerzner and Kerzner (2017), in order to
increase the effectiveness of the engineering management practices, the managers need to
realize the complexity of controlling the organizational resources along with proper
identification of the factors that have the potential to influence the effective project staffing.
Along with that Goetsch and Davis (2014), commented that for the managers of the modern
day organizations must have the knowledge of application of the concept of Total Quality
Management in order to increase sustainability of the engineering management practices.
Alias et al. (2014), confirmed that the managers are in need to understand the importance of
the factors like the project management action, external issues, project procedures along with
human factors in forming the linkage between critical success factors and the project
performance. From the Smart City Plan and Engineering Competency, it is visible that the
mangers are in need to be open to the existing innovative ideas along with further researches
in order to achieve new ideas regarding emerging technologies as well. Engineering
managers’ guide is significant in specifying that the managers are in need to follow some
basic steps like creation goals, creation of an effective plan to achieve the goals, monitoring
the progress in the implementation of the plan, reducing the impact of the barriers in the
implementation of the plan along with maintain the desired level of transparency. Dispute
Resolution Board is able to confirm that the managers need to achieve the desired

competencies for addressing the challenges of the conflict and must gain the knowledge of
operation of the establishment phase and the operational phase of a project.
2.0. Journal Article 1
Kerzner, H. and Kerzner, H.R., 2017. Project management: a systems approach to
planning, scheduling, and controlling. John Wiley & Sons.
The authors have discussed about the complexities that the project manager usually
faces when managing a project. Some of the issues or complexities that the authors have
pointed out are lack of clarity in project goal, poor project schedule design, scope-creep, lack
of team skill, lack of coordination due to poor communication, poor risk identification and
risk mitigation leading to poor risk management, conflict and issue within team leading to
less productive team work and poor project performance. Now for each of the complexities
the authors have included proper strategy to deal with them effectively.
In order to deal with project complexity due to lack of clarity in project goal, the
authors have recommended to organize kickoff meeting with team members to clarify
requirement and goal of project to avoid any confusion. Next for project schedule related
complexity, the authors have suggested effective project planning, communication regarding
project progress to all the team members in real time. Next for scope related complexity, the
authors have suggested systematic estimation of cost, schedule, and quality, for team skill
related complexity core skill documentation, assessment of team members in terms of
strength and weakness and arrangement of training has been suggested.
