Abstract

Project management with its triple focus on time, cost and quality performance is proving to be an efficient and flexible way to get tasks/activities done. There are a variety of environmental forces interacting in today's business world that contribute to the increased demand for good project management across all sectors. The half economic environment in Nigeria accentuated by frequent changes in monetary and fiscal policies has made ground more fertile for sound management of projects in organizations. However, project management cannot succeed unless a good project manager is at the controls. The paper advocates that to successfully manage a project, project managers must adroitly build a cooperative network of alliances among different stakeholders. The paper recommends that effectiveness project managers should have both business and technical expertise. Furthermore their selection and appointment should be made by the upper level management. This will reduce unproductive conflicts and enhance active participation of project team members.
