management tools and techniques are discussed in detail and use of new
technology to improve the performance of project management hence
construction industry is highlighted. These findings of literature
review are used further in research methodology to develop an online
survey questionnaire (quantitative) to evaluate the aims and objectives
set for the research, e.g. the level of awareness of PM tools and
techniques and to investigate if the current industry demands are met
by project management and to discuss any potential
improvements/features that can lead the construction industry to
achieve better results in project success.Conclusions are drawn from the
analysis of data received based on online questionnaire from
professionals in the industry and the aim of dissertation is achieved
by meeting all the objectives set for this dissertation. In the end,
recommendations are made that can lead the construction industry to
achieve better results in project success.
