Abstract
This article will give an introduction to Project Initiation Management or Front-End management mainly in the construction industry. This includes a general introduction of how project initiation management is defined in literature and examples of both good and bad project initiation management will be presented through cases. Project Initiation Management is all about starting projects in the right manner, defining the project phase and objectives and lastly authorising the project manager to proceed with the project. This consist of making sure that stakeholders expectation's are managed and aligned with the project purpose
Table of contents
- General: This section will give a general introduction to Project Initiation Mangement in construction. Furthermore this section will try to cover the current body of knowledge within this [1][2][3][4]
- Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI): The PDRI is a way to manage expectations before initiating a project and can be used as a tool in a lot of projects. This section will try to demonstrate how to apply this tool and show examples of succesful applications of this. [5]
- Estimation and forecasting: Often projects can run over budget. Here the reference class forecasting is a way to anticipate these cost overruns by looking at past projects to see how they performed. [6]
- Alignment: For projects to be succesful the alignment from a Project Management view is essential to complete the project on time and within budget.[7]
- Issues in Project Initiation Management: Some of the issues within project initiation management will be discussed in the section [8]
