demands of the school. This was a significant setback since because its consequence was the
requisitioning of the wrong generator. Usually, one failure in technical projects, such as wrong
calculations cause a domino effect, adversely affecting other project aspects and deliverables
(Watt, 2018). The experienced problem resulted in having to order for a new set of generators,
wasting time and valuable resources. Another problem encountered in this project untimely
deliveries; logistics is a serious challenge in my Country of Nigeria especially in Abuja City. The
project required a truck to be hired and there were delays in delivery; exacerbated by bad roads
in the country. Poor logistics management has serious cost and time implications for any project
(Tarei et al., 2018). The third major challenge experienced in the previous project was human
resources; employees were unreliable with some missing work while others lacked the requisite
skills for the successful delivery of the project. Human resources management is one of the key
pillars for project success and if poorly managed puts the success of projects at risk (Aga et al.,
2016). these problems led to an overall failure of the project.
Proposed Solution to the challenge
The challenges faced in the project are serious and significant, and requires innovative
solutions aligned with best practice standards with respect to project management. The first step
is detailed project planning, starting from the initiation phase; it is especially important during
the user requirements elicitation. Getting the user requirements right is an important step in
ensuring successful project delivery and that the delivered project will be accepted by the client
(Mahnot, 2020). Getting the calculations wrong dealt a major blow to the project. To overcome
this challenge, the project will be visualized step by step, and the right personnel hired to get the
correct load calculations (Invensis Learning, 2020). Getting an experienced person with the right
tools and equipment will help ensure the calculations are gotten right so that the right generators
