Abstract
ABSTRACT
Project Integration Management is regarded as one of the key knowledge
areas in project management that determines project management
success and project success in both private and public sector projects.
This report assesses the Kliptown Renewal Precinct project as a public
sector project in terms of its level of project integration management in
attempting to understand the reasons for the reported delays in the project
(JDA, 2012). This project was implemented by the Johannesburg
Development Agency (JDA) as a catalytic project to uplift the community
by creating employment and business opportunities, stimulating the local
economy, developing an efficient transport node and encouraging tourism
growth (Wessels, 2006). Similar urban space development programmes
are planned for other communities, municipalities and provinces as well as
nationally, so the reasons for this delay are important in the context of
these future similar projects.
The theoretical framework will assess this project in relation to project
integration management processes encompassing factors leading to
project management success and project success, and how the two are
aligned through these project integration processes.
Through this analysis, conclusions have been drawn on the application of
project integration management processes and how the processes have
impacted on the delivery of this public sector project from a project
management success perspective and a project success perspective.
Recommendations on how to implement the good practices of this project
as well as recommendations on how to address the shortcomings from a
project management basis are also proposed so as to create a repository
of information for future similar projects.
