REPORT ON PROJECT/ PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
Background
Task force under NITI Aayog has submitted a report on Project/Program Management, suggesting policy framework for project management for infrastructure projects in India
Need of better project management practices
Poor project management leads to
Additional expenditure burden due to increased costs
Creating a culture of acceptance of delays and avoidable costs, which causes more cases to occur
Economic burden due to delayed return in investments
The increased cost of procurement due to monetization of higher risks perceived by contractors such as delay and scope creep associated with publicly funded projects
Structured project management practices would
maximize the limited resources and effectively respond to changing project requirements
bring in skills such as project scoping, planning, scheduling, risk assessment, team building and qualitycontrol for getting complex projects completed with desired quality, on time and within budget
bring in synergies, integration and a common language to all the complex program initiatives likeSagarmala, Bharatmala, Industrial Corridors, Smart Cities Mission, etc.
Major Recommendations
Develop a National Project / Program Management Policy Framework (NPMPF)
refer to the already available global best standards on project/ program management, and suggest procedures and guidelines for effective project execution of public sector and PPP projects
Establish separate Project/ Program Management delivery team
audit the delivery issues with mega projects and recommend, "fixes" to the existing projects
Create a National Institute of Chartered Project Professional (NICPP)
to become as the nodal institutionto create a resource pool of competent project professionals
Share Holder Agreement (SHA) and State Support Agreement (SSA) should be included in the contract, to ensure proper Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R).
Other important recommendations include
Introducing professional courses for institutionalizing project management
Focus on preparing quality Detailed Project Reports (DPRs).
