    The document discusses the advantages and challenges of implementing project management information systems in the construction industry. The key advantages are that it enhances productivity, enables better collaboration, supports remote working, facilitates effective risk mitigation, and allows for effective task delegation. However, the document also notes that most such systems fail when implemented due to challenges like a lack of knowledge about the systems, implementing solutions without a unified vision, solutions being too expensive, and internal political issues between departments.

    CLASSWORK No.1 CE175-3C/A26

    1. A project management information system presents timely information or data, allowing to


    make an appropriate decision and generate a more successful completion of the
    construction project. The following are considered advantages in implementing project
    management information systems in the construction industry: (1) enhancing productivity;
    (2) better collaboration; (3) remote working; (4) effective risk mitigation; (5) effective task
    delegation. Utilizing a project management information system enhances productivity since
    all the essential details are found in a single system, optimizing the decision-making process.
    An optimized methodology is created where processes, templates, and procedures are
    saved and will be able to reuse on other projects. Communication is done in a suitable place,
    which can be done in a single click, providing a better collaboration with other members
    within the project. Sometimes, members are from different departments it is hard to attend
    meetings and be updated. Necessary alerts are sent, and project timelines are accessible in
    the system, resulting in unified works. The third advantage is remote working since
    workforces are scattered, managing them is challenging, yet implementing the project
    management information system helps have an efficient lead for the teams. Next is effective
    risk mitigation, considering all the resources at hand in the information system strategies in
    resolving bottlenecks and problems are enhanced. Efficient countermeasures are deployed
    to improve the overall work in the project. Lastly, assigning tasks to each team member is
    complex, affecting the competence of the whole team. Available members are easy to find,
    making it simple to delegate tasks. Also, some programs send reminders before the
    deadlines ensuring smooth operations.
    2. Most project management information systems implemented in the construction industry
    fail. The following are the challenges in implementing the system: (1) lack of knowledge; (2)
    wrong team is implementing the solution; (3) lack of unified vision; (4) expensive; (5)
    internal politics. Project managers and team members are busy as always; hence, they don’t
    have time to evaluate and learn new technical skills on their current tools. The lack of
    knowledge hinders the implementation of the system. Since construction professionals can’t
    implement the system right, it is passed and handled by another department such as IT,
    which does not have a background in the construction. The IT department will build
    solutions that are not grounded on how the works in the field are performed. The best breed
    of the software is attracting the companies which do not fit their needs. The company is not
    aware of the tools needed by the member resulting in complicated and more complex tasks.
    That best-breed is expensive, making it challenging to implement, considering multiple
    programs are required. Lastly, in internal politics, various departments compromise a team
    involved in the projects where each has its workflows and platforms. Utilizing one system for
    all departments causes a disparate and resistance to adopting the information system since
    it does more work for them.
