Essay on Project Management

Therefore, all problems on projects have a human element since all the underlying activities and processes are undertaken by people. As such, human elements have a hand to play in these project problems since they have a direct impact on how the project decisions are made, formulated and implemented among others. For example, the actions taken by humans or their failure to undertake certain actions may negatively affect key project decisions such as budgeting and cost controls which in turn affect subsequent activities such as the quality and quantity of production (Bittner & Gregorc, 2010). Such hitches may lower the viability of the project in question leading to losses, underfunding and other unprecedented setbacks. Personally, I experienced a project problem due to human element when I was working in a humanitarian non-governmental organization.
