Guidebook: Project Management Strategies for Complex Projects

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Report S2-R10-RW-2: Guidebook: Project Management Strategies for Complex Projects facilitates the application of a five-dimensional management approach for complex projects. The objective of the guidebook is to identify and communicate the critical factors involved in successfully managing complex transportation design and construction projects. A training course based on the information in the guidebook was also developed.

In addition, SHRP 2 Renewal Project R10 developed two other reports:

• Project Management Strategies for Complex Projects, which describes the five-dimensional management approach for complex projects. The goal of the five-dimensional approach is to identify issues that should be planned and managed proactively, rather than retroactively. The five areas of the new project management approach address cost, schedule, engineering requirements, external influences, and financing; and
• Project Management Strategies for Complex Projects: Case Study Report, which  includes case studies of 15 projects in the United States and three international projects that used tools that aid project managers in the delivery of complex projects.
