- Abstract
- The CII Pre-Project Planning Research Team was chartered to determine the impact of pre-project planning on the success of projects. The research team conducted a detailed study of capital construction projects to determine how the level of effort expended on pre-project planning affected the success of the projects. This source document presents analysis of quantitative data from 62 projects that were part of that investigation. The study hypothesis "the successful completion of a capital construction project is positively correlated with the level of effort expended during the pre-project planning phase of the project" was tested using regression analysis. Through index construction and bivariate regression modeling, the relationship between pre-project planning and project success was identified and graphically depicted. This relationship proved to be positive, with a regression equation for the prediction of project success having an R² of 0.4190.
