اهمیت مدل ارزیابی عملکرد مدیریت پروژه

Bryde (Bryde JD. Modelling project management performance. Int J Quality Reliab Manage 2003;20(2):229–25) has presented project management performance assessment (PMPA) model. The model proposes six criteria for assessing PM performance; based upon the EFQM business excellence model. This paper examines what is the level of impact of these criteria over the project management performance (PMP) in Pakistani listed organizations. This paper also examine the scope of the association within different criteria of project management performance assessment (PMPA) model and with project management performance (PMP) in the Pakistani listed organizations and whether this association is significant, furthermore it investigate that to which extent different characteristics of PM performance, correlate with each other and with project management performance (PMP). It is concluded that the PMPA model have a potential use as framework to assess the project management performance, by conducting empirical study and checking the impact, correlation and association of the criteria of PMPA model and PMP.

Project management is today’s spicy topic. Copious research work has been done but this field is so dynamic that every angle shows a different prospective of the subject. Since its commencement in the literature and its applicability, the world has shown tremendous progress. As erudition involves day by day in project so as stringency involves in managing these complex and gigantic project. To avoid the waste of scarce recourses has increased the errands upon the shoulders of management. So it is necessary to boost up the performance. But as performance is an intangible thing, especially in case of management performance, so choosing tools for assessing the performance is also a hard job. This is as much as true for the Identification performance generating factors in project management and more than that it difficult to choose a framework to access these factors so performance can be evaluated. Many organizations from the corporate world are claiming that ‘we manage project very effectively and our performance is outstanding. Despite this, numerous organizations still ignore to invest in evaluating the project management performance, they are just living in present day and ignoring the future, they just emphasize upon the meeting time, cost and specification of the project, but obviously now as we all now that there is competition every where and “Survival of the fittest” best describe the today’s business environment. So good project management performance assessment tools are needed in order to make an organization “best of the best”. In Bryde [5] proposed a model for assessment of project management performance. And he suggested that by following his model with some variation according to one’s own need an organization can achieve best project performance. This assumption needs to be carefully tested. This Research Study addresses this assumption directly and therefore the focus of the research remained around whether project management performance assessment PMPA model practices make a difference in the company performance or not. If so, which factors of PMPA has stronger impact for enhancement of the performance of project management in Pakistan and it is also needed to evaluate that model have enough potential for the assessment of the project management performance.

The results divulge that the deployment of project management performance assessment (PMPA) model has positive and significant impact over project management performance (PMP). Results produced through analysis shows that all criterias have significant association with project management performance that ultimately prove over main assumption. Secondly key performance indicators (KPIs) have highest impact over the project management performance. “Project Life Cycle Management” an important criteria of PMPA model have positive impact over project management performance (PMP) after KPIs. “Project Management Leadership” has great deal of impact over the project management performance (PMP). “Project Management Staff”, “Project Management Policy and Strategy” and “Project Management Partnership and Recourses” are having significant impact over the project management performance (PMP). Over all results are supporting the hypothesis. This study pointed out particular areas which needs higher priority for performance enhancement in case of low productive project management. This research contribution is helpful for project managers to identify less strengthen quotient of project which needs to be converted in to super strengthen by professional effective practices or through capitalistic approach with further financing. Study concluded that all six independent variables of PMPA model have strong positive correlation with project management performance (PMP). Key performance indicator is showing strong correlation with other independent variable, which ultimately have a strong impact over PMP. Study findings are indicating that PMPA model has significant impact over project management performance and can be used as framework to assess the “project management performance (PMP)”. Future direction for this research could be longitudinal study of PMPA model in project management organizations of Pakistan with more number of respondents. Other than longitudinal study impact of PMPA model of financial and market performance of the organization can be tested.
