Survey - Empirical study - Project time delay - construction projects
Suvadip Das, a volunteer for IPMF and a post graduate student of Great Lakes Institute of Management is doing an empirical study on the effect of various variables on project time for the Indian construction industry . Here is the link for the survey and Suvadip's contact details in case you want to get in touch with him .

This survey will also help the Indian Project Management fraternity to understand reasons for time delay in projects and find solutions to mitigate them . Therefore it could be great value for all of us .

Update - Status as on 15th Oct 2008
Greetings,
Over the last year - there has been a few developments though we have not moved on many areas. I thought it is prudent to consolidate our activities and look at next steps . It is probably better to focus on a few projects for the next few months and ensure that we make some headway .So we will concentrate on the following
1 Best Project of Year award
Jayashree Venkataraman has taken the lead here supported by Lakshminaryana Kari . If any one is interested in this ( including those who shown interest earlier ) please send a mail to Jayashree at jayashree.venkataraman@microsoft.com
2 Indian Project Management Congress
This is another initiative we are pursuing - the idea is to have all India based event where all interested assoc eg PMI,IPMA,AACE,Univ etc can join . There is some interest on this from some assoc and possibly we will have this event in May 2009 .
If anyone is interested in participating in promoting the congress please send a mail to rao.raju@gmail.com
3. To give more focus for our activities we have decided to form a Core Team. Currently we have the following members .
Raju Rao
Jayashree Venkataraman
Ramanamurthy Kaluri
The Core team will be working on making particpation in the forum more useful and effective and give direction to the 2 projects - Best Project award and Indian Proj Mgt Congress .
As of now , except for the projects those listed above we will not pursue any other projects unless there is substantial interest in any of them.
If you have any questions and suggestions please send a mail to rao.raju@gmail.com
