“I got trained for Primavera P6 PPM through Compass Consult. Honestly, the things that got me in were their competitive pricing and payment plans in offer. The thing that I highly admire about the training is that it is a very practical, hands-on training wherein you can learn while working on your own project. The trainers are highly experienced and fundamentally strong. I would strongly recommend the training to someone who needs hands-on experience in P6.”
Program management in construction: Proven strategies for success
Discover strategies that project teams can take to improve construction project outcomes
Why program management strategies are important in the construction industry
Program management plays a pivotal role in the construction industry, overseeing overarching policies, budgets, schedules, and master plans for multiple construction projects. As the complexity of construction management programs and projects has increased over the past decade, effective program management has become crucial for the successful execution of large-scale or complex construction initiatives.
Despite the clear benefits, some construction management experts express reservations about adopting modern program management methodologies. This resistance may impact the quality of project deliverables and overall outcomes, potentially leading to a lower success rate and jeopardizing a business’s construction portfolio.
To ensure successful outcomes in construction program management, consider adopting the following strategies:

Technology integration
Construction businesses should integrate construction management software with their existing applications to streamline processes, improve collaboration, and enhance project visibility. This includes project management tools, information management tools, and other relevant technologies. Integrated technology systems also provide a centralized repository for project data.
Clear project objectives and thorough planning
Project teams should define clear, achievable project objectives at the outset. Clearly communicate these goals to all team members to ensure everyone is aligned with the project’s overall vision. Once everyone is aligned, develop a comprehensive project plan that includes timelines, budgets, and resource allocation. Adjust potential challenges and have contingency plans in place.

Effective communication and collaboration
Project managers should establish open and transparent communication channels between all members of a project team, including fruitful feedback sessions. They should regularly update stakeholders on project progress, challenges, and changes. They should also collaborate with clients by involving them in decision-making processes and keeping them informed about project milestones.
Quality and cost control
Project managers should implement rigorous quality control measures to ensure that work meets or exceeds industry standards. They should conduct regular inspections and audits to catch and address issues early. Project managers should also maintain strict control over the project budget, by regularly monitoring expenses, identifying cost-saving opportunities, and avoiding cost overruns.
