Infrastructure Projects
The author of this report is asked to observe the fact that the most critical and pervasive projects in the project management sphere are infrastructure and service projects. However, it would seem that these same types of projects are also the most likely to fail or at least encounter minor/major problems. The author of this response is asked to define why that might be the case and what can be done to prevent this. When it comes to things like infrastructure, this would obviously refer to things like bridges, roads and the associated signage, markings and planning. Perhaps one reason why these projects are so apt to fail or have problems is the sheer geographic scope and the amount of materials involved. Indeed, an angle being slightly off or the plans being slightly off-kilter can lead to major issues. Another major concern that probably arises when it comes to infrastructure projects is lack of proper or accurate documentation about what is presently in place, when it was done, how it was done and so forth. Other factors might include surrounding soil, abutments and other areas that might have an effect on what is otherwise being worked on nearby (Milutnovi &...
The people managing and executing the job need to be properly licensed, well-experienced and they need to be very good at their job. Second, a full 360 degree approach to what a project requires and the ancillary geography and other factors that can affect the project should all be taken into account. This could include things like the expected weather, the traffic volume in the area, whether the right materials are being used, the soil composition of the area and how accurate the records are. If something amiss is found, it should be studied fully so as to make the proper adjustments. It is vital to fully and document everything about the project and make sure it is available for future parties that will work in or around the area (Milutnovi & Stosi, 2013).
Project Management Certifications
When it comes to project management certifications, there has certainly been an explosion in both their overall ubiquity as well as the differing types and specializations that one can travel along when it comes to the same. To be sure, there are certainly jobs that…

Identify some of the sources of the problems the project faces. Project Libra exemplifies several attributes of failed projects the most notable of which is the breakdown in project team, Fujitsu Services (ICL) system integrator and enterprise software vendors.

Failures of Merger Failure of Mergers The objective of this study is to examine why it is that most mergers fail and will provide real-life examples of the failure of mergers. Toward this end, this work will examine relevant literature in this area of study and specifically academic and professional literature and publications that are peer-reviewed in nature. The work of Weber and Camerer (2003 ) entitled "Cultural Conflict and Merger Failure:
Failure of Cable Stayed Bridge Factors Leading to Failure of Cable Stayed Bridges When there is failure experienced in a single structural element, there is high probability that the failure could lead to future failures of bigger intensity, including the collapse of huge structures. This preventable failures and collapse of structures have been analyzed and studied for many years, but unfortunately the research earlier done focuses more on buildings and assumes the

(Vander Ploeg, 2003) Key findings stated in the report of Vander Ploeg include the following: Unlike the overall indications of municipal infrastructure needs, which identify water and wastewater infrastructure as having the greatest investment needs, western cities biggest needs exist in the transportation sector. In each of the cities except Vancouver, roads, bridges, interchanges, sidewalks and public transit make up at least half of the annual infrastructure deficit; This may be related
Technology Controlling water infrastructure Much contemporary research and literature over the need for water include recognition of ethical issues for example water like a public good assert Gleick (2004) and Tipping et al. (2005). Hence, overall scope of management should be extended to incorporate the social size of water systems; which means all stakeholders have to be informed and incorporated in making decisions for the development and use of long-term sustainability
