RESEARCH PROPOSAL
2
Background
As technology and software are becoming advanced with each passing day, it has
impacted the project managers in variable fields. Several kinds of research have been done for
analyzing the impact of software and technology on project management such as improved
communication, cloud efficiency, report and update of project plans. Many researchers have
developed 4D models from 3D components of BMI of a schedule of a project (Wang 2014).
Multirotor drones have been used in transportation for surveillance and mapping of mining.
However, the use of 12D and drones to conduct site surveys, drones in a monitoring construction
project, scheduling software such as Microsoft Project, Revit, and BIM have not been done yet.
Therefore, the introduction of drones, 12D, and scheduling software in the construction project is
necessary, and it would significantly increase the versatility of the project managers.
Objectives
The targeted objectives related to this research are:
1. To analyze the impact of software and technology on project management.
2. To explore the methodologies such as surveys, literature review used in analyzing
the technologies like Drones, 12D and scheduling software in construction sites.
3. To recommend suitable impacts on the project managers of the construction sites
and general communities.
Hypothesis/Questions
RQ1. What are the impacts of emerging technologies and software on project management?
