PROJECT MANAGEMENT2
1. Introduction
Badewi (2016) stated that the Project Management Methodology (PMM) is set of
project guidelines as well as procedures to manage the project. Selection of the PMM defines
how to work as well as communicate in the construction projects. As the selected industry for
this investigation study is construction, therefore there are three productive and creative
methods used such as waterfall, lean and agile methodology. Agile methodology is best
suited for construction projects due to its iterative as well as incremental. It is a method
where demands as well as solutions are evolved throughout collaborative determinations to
self-organizing as well as cross functional team. Fewings and Henjewele (2019) discussed
that lean methodology is promoted to maximize values of construction clients, while
reduction of construction wastes. It aims to build value for clients by means of few resources.
According to Kerzner (2019), waterfall method is design approach where development flows
in down towards one commands.
2. Research questions
The research questions based on which entire thesis work carried out are:
1) Did the project management methodology improve effectiveness of the construction
project performance?
2) Is the complexity of project helped by the Project Manager determining suitable PMM
in construction projects?
3) Are decision making and problem solving factors determined the best project
management methodology?

3. Background and context
In the construction industry, unforeseen project delays, momentous factors, budget
complications and others are common issues in the planned activities. In order to counter
those unforeseen issues, the construction professionals are coming up with solutions of PMM.
The approaches are modified as well as customized for the applications in the industry (May,
Hwa, & Spowage, 2017). The selected three methodologies reviewed in the literature section
are waterfall, lean and agile methods.
The research study is based on construction project management context, a process to
manage the construction projects. It means to achieve incomes over project lifecycle through
using various PMM to control cost in addition to period at the time of working in
construction projects. For this research study, the selected Australian construction industry is
ADCO Constructions. The company provides construction services in Australian and the
company offers services in design specialities, development of solutions for buildings plus
warehouses, renovation, refurbishment and construction management (Adcoconstruct, 2019).
Construction PM can communicate with various disciplines in lifetime of the project from its
architecture to engineering of city planning. The principles based on which this context is
working are initiation, define as well as plan project and then build the construction plan.
4. Aims and objectives
The aim of this proposal study is to compare of various methodologies in project
management based on advantages on project planning. In order to meet with mentioned
research aim, following are objectives identified as:
 To compare project management methodologies used in construction projects.
 To determine benefits and importance of PMM in the construction projects.
 To identify process groups and knowledge areas in the project management field.
