A project includes a series of activities carried out in order to achieve a particular goal. Success in every project depends on a combination of three defined factors: duration, cost and quality. Project management in planning activities includes organization, supervision and direction. It tries to deliver the projects in due time based on previously agreed costs and expected results by using resources appropriately. The magnitude and complexity of power generation projects doubles the importance of time, cost and quality management in the projects. One tool that is effective in accelerating the programs and projects of this kind as well as in reducing their costs and duration is the implementation of these plans within the framework of “projects” and the use of up-to-date project management techniques to meet the needs and expectations of project beneficiaries.
