Abstract

Project performance of the construction sector can be significantly improved by proper project planning and scheduling. A divergence opinion is included in this area which implies the amount of effort that is required or should be invested in construction planning and scheduling activity to make the project management effective. A lot of work has been already reported in the literature which clearly shows that the project performance can be enhanced by raising the efforts invested in project planning, scheduling, and controlling activities. The organizational characteristics of the construction firms and the project environment have a great influence on planning and scheduling efforts. The firm should be organized appropriately to maintain a relevant environmental context in the project planning. In India, after agriculture, it has been notified that the construction sector is the second largest employment sector. Also, it has been considered as one of the largest sectors which support the economic growth of the country. The magnification of the construction sector is based on the growth of the corporate sector and infrastructure development either directly or indirectly. The construction sector generates employment and provides job opportunities to millions of unskilled, semi-skilled, and skilled workforce. When it comes to the economic development of the country and a large labour force are engaged in this sector, definitely a high work effort we can consider from appropriate project planning activity. To keep in mind the importance of project management in the construction sector, our study is focusing on the relationship between construction planning efforts and their effectiveness in the field of project performance. Software used for Construction Project Management (CPM) is also discussed.
