Project management is the overarching task in the delivery of a project. Many authoritative texts have been written about the theory and practice of project management, and therefore, this text will focus narrowly on the requirements of power network construction. This chapter will focus on both the role of the project manager (PM) and the key tasks that comprise project management. In summary, the following will be examined: the role of the PM (power network company PM and contractor PM); project programme; resource management; outage management; risk management; financial management; contract management; consents and wayleaves; project filing and project audit; project quality management; outstanding works and post-project review.
