Project Management educational programs by Ramani Kangaraarachchi The Project Management Institute (PMI) will help develop skills in rural areas in the country through project management educational programs in schools, universities, social organisations and membership clubs to contribute to the sustainable development of the nation with the world's best practices in Project Management, said Chairman PMI Lalith De Silva. He was speaking at the launch of the Sri Lankan Chapter of the World Project Management Institute at the Hilton Colombo Residence recently. He said that project management is an emerging profession which operates across different industries and uses transferable skills across industries to support better planning, coordination and smooth implementation of different types of projects. He outlined several reasons why projects fail. They are poor planning, monitoring and controlling, poor scoping, leadership, communication and decision making, unrealistic deadlines, lack of contingency , proactiveness, poor change and risk management. He said that many organisations including government authorities have recognised the importance of project management as a strategy for organisational success. The Project Management Institute is one of the most prestigious global organisations committed to improve project management skills and competence of project managers, which has a presence in over 125 countries which started with over 125,000 members in USA in 1969. |
