- Abstract
- The 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 62 capital facility 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 the perceptions of 131 operations, business, and project management representatives who were interviewed as part of that investigation. Analysis of the data indicates that pre-project planning is vital to project success and should be adopted as a best practice of corporate business organizations that perform capital facility construction projects.
