How to Increase the Value of the PMMMs as a Business-oriented FrameworkYasmin AbdelAziz
An organization’s effectiveness partly depends
on the success of its projects. With this in mind, many
efforts have been spent in recent decades to enhance the
project management culture, but results are still highly
unsatisfactory. Project Management Maturity Models
(PMMMs) are seen by both the academic and the
industrial communities as a solid instrument to achieve
this goal. The point at issue is that surveys and researches
show PMMMs must be better linked to business and
financial performance. The aim of this paper is to explore
the scope for improvement to evolve PMMMs as
business-oriented frameworks.
This document proposes a peer-evaluation model (PETMS) to help project managers select team members for software development projects. The model enhances traditional peer evaluation by having team members evaluate each other on criteria like productivity, performance, and personality. It also incorporates evaluations from the project manager. Evaluations are stored in a central repository and can guide selection for future projects. The document describes the PETMS model and research evaluating it through a case study. Results showed peer evaluation can improve the team selection process and help project managers make better choices by considering past feedback and member ratings.

Hi,
Project is a temporary goal that a team or an organization undertakes in order to create a unique product or service. A project different from a day-to-day activity, this is because project(s) are temporary, it will have a start, a goal, a defined objective, and a scope that must be achieved by the defined end time (Project Management Institute, n.d.). On top of the above-mentioned, projects heavily rely on the effective management of triple-constants, time, quality & cost. The key attributes of a project are that,
1. A project will always have a start and end dates
2. Requires resources from multiple teams or areas in an organization to achieve one common goal
3. Involves uncertainty and changes to scope
4. Has budget limitation that impacts utilization of resources and supplies
5. Will always need a stakeholder or a sponsor
In my experience, I learnt that he role of top management / business leadership commitment is key for a project to yield fruitful results as many projects aren’t completed due to lack of leadership support & commitment. Involvement of top management in our project helped us team in getting key decisions and changes related to infrastructure, architecture, network & operations quickly. Leadership involvement during initiation/kick-off ensured that the impacted teams that are on the other side of the organization co-operated more readily than usual. Having the top management involved in the project helped our team in getting additional resources and support when required that otherwise could have resulted in delay or even termination of the project. IT projects are filled with unique challenges in every step, some of them are,
1. Scope change in the middle of the project
2. Delivery delays due to miscommunication of scope between impacted teams (Ramachandran, 2017)
3. Remote stakeholders that make output delivery and decision-making difficult (Ramachandran, 2017)
Absence of pre-defined project management practices that jeopardizes the delivery when blockers appear (Ramachandran, 2017)

What are project management methodologies?
Project management methodologies are basically the different techniques which are used to approach a given project; every methodology of project management has its unique process and workflow. They are classified into “traditional or sequential methodologies, agile methodologies, the change management methodologies and process-based methodologies.”
What are the traditional or sequential methodologies?
These are the methods of managing a project which involve a sequence of tasks which lead to the final deliverables and project managers are required to ensure that the tasks are worked on them in a given order. The methodologies classified under this category include;
· Waterfall project management methodology; involves completing a certain task before beginning another task in a linked sequence of objects which adds up to the general goal. It is used in projects that create physical objects like building a computer.
· Critical path method; it involves prioritizing and allocating available raw materials to ensure the most crucial task is done as well as rescheduling lower priority task.
· Critical chain project management; involves a technique for putting main concentration on the needed materials.
What are agile methodologies?
These are project management methodologies which prioritize on shorter iterative cycles and flexibility. They are categorized .
Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is a combination of projects or a set of business practices that integrates
projects under the sponsorship organizations. These require different approaches, strategies, models, and practices
when managing projects and programs within the portfolio. In Nigeria, many organizations have projects,
subsidiaries, and branches in many cities across the country. However, they fold, abandoned, temporarily suspended
or close within a decade or two, which is worrisome. These are linked to their PPM practices. As such, the aim of
this paper is to identify, assess and discuss the PPM practices in Nigeria’s construction organizations with a view to
examining the effects of such practices on the project portfolios. The research reviewed data from journals,
conference/seminar/workshop papers, the internet etc. on the Project Portfolio Management (PPM) related fields and
areas that help to identify, and narrow fourteen-PPM practices within the Nigerian and Global Context. These
identified practices form the backbone of the research questionnaire, randomly administered to various professionals
in Nigeria’s construction industry. In the overall analyses, these fourteen-PPM practices are significantly effective in
terms of good performances in PPM organizations in Nigeria’s construction industry. These practices provide
positive results on the overall PPM performances in achieving the organizational objectives in the portfolios.
This document discusses project success criteria for engineering and refurbishment projects at Eskom, a South African power utility. It conducted a survey of stakeholders to identify key success criteria. The survey found that while time, cost and quality were important, other factors like satisfying business goals, customer satisfaction, and impact on plant were rated as even more important. Different stakeholders had differing views, with clients prioritizing satisfying goals, customer satisfaction and impact, while project managers prioritized quality, time and cost. Most respondents felt that time, cost and quality were not the only important success criteria. The document concludes that multiple factors are important for measuring project success.

The agile software development methods have demonstrated success in increasing responsiveness to the needs of customers. So the most of software industry preferred the agile methods. These methods have
increased demand by the companies, but the agile methods at larger scale are more challenging and
problematic compared to the smaller projects. For that, to become the norm for a large and complex project a new adaptive agile framework is proposed. Also, the proposed framework will help to achieve long-term organizational and learning of agile teams and help to increase the employee motivation and satisfaction by improving their skill. Thus the organizations will have success in sustaining their team and increasing its productivity.

What is project management and what does it involve?
What is project management and what does it involve?
Most firms day to day operations serve customers through a network of inter connecting business processes, as business volumes change, the loading on these processes can increase or decrease (Nokes et. al. 2003) and there is often a need for some adaption in each process.
There may be a cumulative effect of many adaptions just to change of one of the processes, and as markets are subject to rapid change firms cannot afford to wait for gradual adaptions to take effect, therefore projects are required to provide a structure for making changes at a faster rate.
Nokes et al suggests that “ as markets increase and product cycles shorten the importance of projects will increase”. Projects are required to replace old and inefficient ways of doing things to methods better suited to modern market conditions.
Projects and the management of projects may be needed to tackle new problems.
Benefit of using case studies
In the aftermath of a series of acquisitions and mergers, a large financial services firm found itself attempting to operate with nearly seven hundred job titles for many similar positions due to the continued use of multiple legacy HR systems. The organization wanted to develop and implement a common set of job families and titles that could be used across the entire organization. Realizing the complexity of the task as well as a lack of internal expertise, they decided to seek external resources to carry out the work (Kaplan & Norton, 1996).
In order to begin developing a general overview of the project’s scope and cost, it is often helpful to collect information about how others have approached the same issue. This can be done through informal benchmarking efforts, consulting with colleagues.

Project management is one of the most popular tool in the companies in today´s competitive environment. There are many successful companies, in which the project management has the key position. Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements. Project management is accomplished with the processes such as initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing. The project team manages the work of the projects, and the work typically involves competing demands, stakeholders with differing needs and expectations and identified requirements. It is important to note that many of the processes within project management are iterative in nature. This is in part due to the existence of and the necessity for progressive elaboration in a project throughout the project life cycle.

Hi,
Project is a temporary goal that a team or an organization undertakes in order to create a unique product or service. A project different from a day-to-day activity, this is because project(s) are temporary, it will have a start, a goal, a defined objective, and a scope that must be achieved by the defined end time (Project Management Institute, n.d.). On top of the above-mentioned, projects heavily rely on the effective management of triple-constants, time, quality & cost. The key attributes of a project are that,
1. A project will always have a start and end dates
2. Requires resources from multiple teams or areas in an organization to achieve one common goal
3. Involves uncertainty and changes to scope
4. Has budget limitation that impacts utilization of resources and supplies
5. Will always need a stakeholder or a sponsor
In my experience, I learnt that he role of top management / business leadership commitment is key for a project to yield fruitful results as many projects aren’t completed due to lack of leadership support & commitment. Involvement of top management in our project helped us team in getting key decisions and changes related to infrastructure, architecture, network & operations quickly. Leadership involvement during initiation/kick-off ensured that the impacted teams that are on the other side of the organization co-operated more readily than usual. Having the top management involved in the project helped our team in getting additional resources and support when required that otherwise could have resulted in delay or even termination of the project. IT projects are filled with unique challenges in every step, some of them are,
1. Scope change in the middle of the project
2. Delivery delays due to miscommunication of scope between impacted teams (Ramachandran, 2017)
3. Remote stakeholders that make output delivery and decision-making difficult (Ramachandran, 2017)
Absence of pre-defined project management practices that jeopardizes the delivery when blockers appear (Ramachandran, 2017)

They are classified into “traditional or sequential methodologies, agile methodologies, the change management methodologies and process-based methodologies.”
What are the traditional or sequential methodologies?
These are the methods of managing a project which involve a sequence of tasks which lead to the final deliverables and project managers are required to ensure that the tasks are worked on them in a given order. The methodologies classified under this category include;
· Waterfall project management methodology; involves completing a certain task before beginning another task in a linked sequence of objects which adds up to the general goal. It is used in projects that create physical objects like building a computer.
· Critical path method; it involves prioritizing and allocating available raw materials to ensure the most crucial task is done as well as rescheduling lower priority task.
· Critical chain project management; involves a technique for putting main concentration on the needed materials.

Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is a combination of projects or a set of business practices that integrates
projects under the sponsorship organizations. These require different approaches, strategies, models, and practices
when managing projects and programs within the portfolio. In Nigeria, many organizations have projects,
subsidiaries, and branches in many cities across the country. However, they fold, abandoned, temporarily suspended
or close within a decade or two, which is worrisome. These are linked to their PPM practices. As such, the aim of
this paper is to identify, assess and discuss the PPM practices in Nigeria’s construction organizations with a view to
examining the effects of such practices on the project portfolios. The research reviewed data from journals,
conference/seminar/workshop papers, the internet etc. on the Project Portfolio Management (PPM) related fields and
areas that help to identify, and narrow fourteen-PPM practices within the Nigerian and Global Context. These
identified practices form the backbone of the research questionnaire, randomly administered to various professionals
in Nigeria’s construction industry. In the overall analyses, these fourteen-PPM practices are significantly effective in
terms of good performances in PPM organizations in Nigeria’s construction industry. These practices provide
positive results on the overall PPM performances in achieving the organizational objectives in the portfolios.
This document discusses project success criteria for engineering and refurbishment projects at Eskom, a South African power utility. It conducted a survey of stakeholders to identify key success criteria. The survey found that while time, cost and quality were important, other factors like satisfying business goals, customer satisfaction, and impact on plant were rated as even more important. Different stakeholders had differing views, with clients prioritizing satisfying goals, customer satisfaction and impact, while project managers prioritized quality, time and cost. Most respondents felt that time, cost and quality were not the only important success criteria. The document concludes that multiple factors are important for measuring project success.
This document provides an overview of project management. It defines a project as a temporary set of activities undertaken to achieve unique objectives within defined cost and time parameters. Key aspects of projects include their unique purpose, temporary nature, use of various resources, and involvement of uncertainty. The document distinguishes projects from operations and programs/portfolios. It also outlines the triple constraints of quality, cost, and time that define projects. Additionally, it describes different types of project products and components of project management based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK).
The agile software development methods have demonstrated success in increasing responsiveness to the needs of customers. So the most of software industry preferred the agile methods. These methods have
increased demand by the companies, but the agile methods at larger scale are more challenging and
problematic compared to the smaller projects. For that, to become the norm for a large and complex project a new adaptive agile framework is proposed. Also, the proposed framework will help to achieve long-term organizational and learning of agile teams and help to increase the employee motivation and satisfaction by improving their skill. Thus the organizations will have success in sustaining their team and increasing its productivity.
This document summarizes a research paper that assessed the influence of project management competence on managing the triple constraint (scope, time and cost) of projects in Nairobi, Kenya.

What is project management and what does it involve?
What is project management and what does it involve?
Most firms day to day operations serve customers through a network of inter connecting business processes, as business volumes change, the loading on these processes can increase or decrease (Nokes et. al. 2003) and there is often a need for some adaption in each process.
There may be a cumulative effect of many adaptions just to change of one of the processes, and as markets are subject to rapid change firms cannot afford to wait for gradual adaptions to take effect, therefore projects are required to provide a structure for making changes at a faster rate.
Nokes et al suggests that “ as markets increase and product cycles shorten the importance of projects will increase”. Projects are required to replace old and inefficient ways of doing things to methods better suited to modern market conditions.
Projects and the management of projects may be needed to tackle new problems.
Benefit of using case studies
In the aftermath of a series of acquisitions and mergers, a large financial services firm found itself attempting to operate with nearly seven hundred job titles for many similar positions due to the continued use of multiple legacy HR systems. The organization wanted to develop and implement a common set of job families and titles that could be used across the entire organization. Realizing the complexity of the task as well as a lack of internal expertise, they decided to seek external resources to carry out the work (Kaplan & Norton, 1996).
In order to begin developing a general overview of the project’s scope and cost, it is often helpful to collect information about how others have approached the same issue. This can be done through informal benchmarking efforts, consulting with colleagues.

The project team manages the work of the projects, and the work typically involves competing demands, stakeholders with differing needs and expectations and identified requirements. It is important to note that many of the processes within project management are iterative in nature. This is in part due to the existence of and the necessity for progressive elaboration in a project throughout the project life cycle.

A major factor for Elie was his family, especially his father, who he struggled to care for and protect.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can

An Empirical Analysis of the Importance of Teamwork on Project
Management: The Case of Nigeria Telecommunication Sector
Olanrewaju Modupe-Samuel
Ph.D. in Management, Texila American University, Nigeria
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the importance of teamwork in project management in the
Nigerian telecommunication industry. Data was collected across 310 telecommunication firms and
analyzed using descriptive statistics and a t-test. The study found that teamwork is significant in
meeting project timelines, project efficiency, reduction in project costs, enhanced project quality and
improve customer satisfaction.
Keywords: Project, Project Management, Teamwork.
Introduction
Teamwork is essential for project
management success [1]. Successful teams have
been proven to demonstrate effective working
relationships, which leads to the attainment of
excellent performance [2]. Working together as
a team and pooling expertise and experience
promotes high-quality and timely project
completion [3]. Teamwork is recognized as a
crucial contributor to project performance
because it allows team members to combine a
wide range of knowledge essential for a
project’s successful completion [2]. The most
critical method to plan and complete project
work is through teamwork [3]. In project
management, teamwork is defined as the
capacity of project personnel to operate
effectively as a group. Teamwork is a set of
ideals that promotes listening, constructively
reacting to others’ points of view, and offering
support. Project participants are often selected
from several departments as well as various
areas of specialty. In addition, project team
members often do non-repetitive activities to
achieve the desired outcome by utilizing
specialized skills, knowledge, and expertise.
Therefore, it is important that project team
members are completely integrated and focused
on project objectives, which necessitate a high
level of collaboration to achieve excellent
project performance [4].
The quest to figure out better ways to use
teams to achieve project success has increased
because of increasing telecommunication
project failures [5]. In telecommunication
projects, where multiple actors share
responsibilities, teamwork is extremely
important [6]. The players in
telecommunication projects include engineers,
suppliers, operators, technicians, administrators,
and other stakeholders [6]. If the project is to be
successful, all these players must work together
as a team [7]. Despite the importance of
teamwork in telecommunication projects, the
author has noted that studies on teamwork in
telecommunication projects in a developing
economy context is sparse. A review of the
extant literature on teamwork and project
success in the telecommunication industry of
Nigeria produced limited studies. Most of the
studies that have been done in Nigeria focus on
the impact of teamwork on employee
performance in other sectors. To the best of my
knowledge of the author, none has focused on
1
2. teamwork and telecommunication project
performance. This study is, therefore,
imperative from the issue and context gap
perspective. The aim of the study is to evaluate
the importance of teamwork on project
management in the Nigerian telecommunication
industry.
Teamwork
A team is a group of a restricted number of
individuals who have complementary strengths,
a common aim, performance targets, and
collective ways to which they hold each other
accountable [8]. A team is a group of people
that work together in a wider social structure
like an organization, are interdependent, and
execute activities that influence other people
and groups [9]. A team is a collection of
individuals who are interdependent in terms of
knowledge, resources, and abilities and who
want to work together to accomplish a shared
objective [8]. A team is a collection of people
who do similar jobs and get together voluntarily
to evaluate issues, develop solutions, and
submit them to management. Organizations
have evolved to rely on team-based structures
to increase quality, productivity, and customer
service [10]. Teamwork is defined as a series of
duties and activities carried out by persons who
work together to attain a common goal.
Teamwork is collective action in a group that is
exceptionally effective and efficient when done
well. It brings individuals together to
collaborate, allowing them to use their own
abilities to guarantee that they work together to
complete a task. Individuals who collaborate
toward a similar objective engage in a series of
interdependent activities known as teamwork
[8].
Project
A project is an activity in which capital
resources are used to develop an asset that we
anticipate producing profit over time [11]. A
project is a temporary endeavor (that has a
definite beginning and end time) undertaken to
create a unique product, service, or outcome
through planning and coordination of human,
material, and financial resources through a
specific cycle of Initiation, Definition,
Planning, Execution, and Close [12]. A project
has a specified scope, is bound by finite
resources, involves many people with varying
levels of expertise, and is often developed in
stages throughout the course of its life cycle
[11]. A project is defined as a short-term
activity undertaken to produce a one-of-a-kind
product, service, or outcome [13].
Project Management
It is the incorporation of contemporary
administration and project management
aptitudes, capability, tools, and approaches to
the total controlling, organizing, and monitoring
of all aspects of a project from beginning to end
as well as the inspiration of all those involved
to achieve the project’s goal [12]. This means
that project management is a collection of
processes that work together to help the project
team complete a successful project. The
transition from input to output is the nucleus of
project management [13].
GRIP Model
The study will be guided by the GRIP model.
Richard Beckhard’s GRPI model, firstly
propounded in 1972, has extensively been
deployed in teamwork studies [14]. GRIP
Model outline four interrelated components of
highly effective teamwork.
Goals: Goals seek clarity of purpose and
direction as well as alignment with
organizational vision, mission, and strategy. It
requires that we comprehend the customer’s
desires. It also motivates everyone in the team
to be on the same page and be committed.
Roles: Everyone on the team must
understand their individual roles, what is
expected of each of them, and how they will be
held accountable and responsible. Roles ask for
acceptance of the team leader and clarity on the
part every member of the team will play.
2
3. Interpersonal: To deal with conflict and
enhance progress, effective communication and
cooperation are imperative. This ensures that
trust is built among the team members and
helps to reduce conflict.
Processes: A defined system, taking
decisions, addressing challenges, and resolving
conflict. Processes and workflow refer to how
choices are made, how the team solves
challenges, and how conflict is addressed and
resolved, as well as the work processes,
procedures, and workflow required to do the
task successfully.

Empirical Review
[15] investigated the association among
project manager’s leadership style, teamwork,
and project success. The authors found that the
adoption of an effective leadership style
facilitates team bonding in project teams.
[16] investigated the topic of project
management and teamwork. Specifically, the
authors examined how the methodical adoption
of project management practices affected team
performance. The paper provides evidence that
the use of project management in project teams
limits the free-rider problem.
[17] examined the importance of hard project
management and team motivation for
construction project performance. The study
found that hard project management is
conveyed via groups to facilitate performance.
The authors confirm that ignoring the
motivation of the team hinders team outcome.
[18] conducted a study on the topic:
teamwork quality and the success of innovative
projects: A theoretical concept and empirical
evidence. The article develops a comprehensive
concept of collaboration in teams, called
Teamwork Quality (TWQ). The authors found
that TWQ significantly affects team outcomes.
Methodology
The study adopted a survey as the research
design. The survey method was considered the
most appropriate design for conducting this
study since it describes issues in their current
state [19]. According to the Nigerian
Communication Commission, as at the end of
2021, there were 7916 telecommunication
companies that have been licensed, and thus
this figure formed the population of the study.
3
4. The sample size for the study was determined
using the Yamane sample determination
formula. Using an actual population of 7196 a
sample size of 379 telecommunication firms
has arrived. In selecting the participant
organization for the study, a stratified and
simple random sampling method was used.
Stratified sampling was first used to categorize
telecommunication firms. According to the
Nigerian Communication Commission,
telecommunication firms have been classified
under 24 license classifications; hence these
classifications formed the organizational strata.
A sampling fraction of 4.16% was selected
from each category (strata) of
telecommunication organizations. Participant
organizations in each classification were
selected randomly. In selecting the participant’s
organizations, simple random sampling was
used. A simple random sampling method was
used so as to ensure that all the
telecommunication organizations get an equal
chance of being selected as part of the sample.
The distribution of the strata is presented in
Table 1.

The research instrument used to collect data
for this study was a questionnaire. Out of the
379 firms administered with a questionnaire,
310 firms, however returned the questionnaire
representing a response rate of 81.79%. The
technique used to analyze the data collected
was descriptive statistics and a t-test.

5. Data Analysis and Interpretation
Importance of Teamwork on Project
Management in the Telecommunication
Sector
Table 2 presents the data on the importance
of teamwork in project management in
Nigeria’s telecommunication sector.
As shown in Table 2, the mean score of 4.20
implies that the participants’ organizations
agreed that in project teams, team members are
made to fully understand the goals of the team,
which ensure that it leads to a commitment by
team members. The implication is that when
team members are made aware of the team
goal, it leads to commitment by the team.
Again, the participant firms agreed (mean score
of 4.10) that in project teams in the
telecommunication sector, employees’ goals are
synchronized to improve employee loyalty. The
individual goals of the employees are aligned to
the team goal so that everybody works together
to achieve the team goal.

Again, the participant firms agreed (mean
value of 4.0) that in project teams in the
telecommunication sector, team members are
told of the part that they are supposed to
perform. Team members know what is expected
of them and work together for the common
good of the project.
The mean score of 3.9 is also indicative that
the participant organization agreed that in
project teams in the telecommunication sector,
team members know how they are held
accountable and responsible. Accountability
ensures that the team works together to achieve
the project outcome.
Communication is another factor critical to
the success of teamwork in the project. The
mean value of 4.10 implies that the participant
firms agreed that in project teams’
communication and collaboration foster trust
among team members.
5
6. Further, the participants agreed (mean score
of 4.35) that project teams are able to deal with
conflict and make progress. Conflict resolution
is key to promoting affective workings in the
team. Processes of how the team operates are
also key to ensuring the effective working of
teams. The participant firms agreed (mean score
of 3.7) that in project teams, there is a defined
system for how decisions are taken. Connected
to processes is that in project team’s workflow
and procedures are clearly stated and followed.
This was indicated via a mean score of 4.0.

Source: Data survey (2022)
From Table 3, teamwork was revealed to
influence significantly (p-value=0.000) project
timelines. Thus, when there is teamwork, the
employees come together to complete the
project on time. Additionally, the paper
discovered that teamwork significantly (p-value
= 0.000) improves project efficiency. Project
team members ensure that resources are put to
judicious use.
Again, the study found that team
significantly work p-value= 0.000) reduces
project costs. When there is teamwork,
employees own the project and ensure that they
cut out all forms of waste in executing the
project.
This leads to project cost reduction. Also, the
study found that teamwork significantly (p-
value =0.000) enhances project quality. With
teamwork, members share ideas on how the
project performance can be improved, thus
adopting measures that lead to improved project
quality. Teamwork was also found to
significantly enhance (p-value =0.000)
customer satisfaction. Teamwork results in
achieving the expectation of customers.
Discussion
The study found that goal setting is key to
teamwork in the implementation of
telecommunication projects. This finding
affirms Beckhard’s GRPI model.
Telecommunication firms understand that for
teams to work effectively, team members ought
to fully comprehend and must be dedicated to
the goals of the firm. The individual goals of
team members are aligned in order to establish
trust, make progress, and achieve the desired
outcome.
Another area of teamwork in projects in the
telecommunication industry is the definition of
roles. Team members understand their role, the
expectation that the organization has of them,
and their level of accountability. Role definition
ensures that there is clarity on the part that
every member of the team should play.
Interpersonal relation was also found to be
important in teamwork. Effective
communication and collaboration enhance
employee loyalty in the team, which helps to
reduce disputes. Clearly stating processes that
have to be followed in the team is also vital to
teamwork in the telecommunication sector of
Nigeria. The study also found that teamwork
impacts project performance in the following
ways: meeting project timelines, project
efficiency, reduction in project cost, enhancing
project quality, and improving customer
satisfaction.
6
7. The finding is consistent with work by [15].
[15] found that teamwork significantly affects
team outcomes. [15] argue that increases in
levels of leadership enhance relationships
among team members and ultimately impact
project performance. [18] also found that
teamwork is critical to achieving
organizational performance.
Conclusion
The paper has demonstrated that
telecommunication firms in Nigeria view
teamwork as critical to achieving project
success. In ensuring that the team is successful,
telecommunication firms set goals, state clearly
defined roles, promote interpersonal relations,
and set clear procedures for the team to operate.
The establishment of a framework for which the
team operates facilitates the attainment of
project objectives by way of meeting project
timelines, project efficiency, reduction in
project costs, project quality, and customer
satisfaction.

Conflict of Interest
The author did not receive any financial
support or funding for the research. The study
was financed wholly by the author; thus, I do
not pose a conflict with the research objective.
The author works in the telecommunication
sector of Nigeria, which facilitated getting data
from industry players. However, my association
with the telecommunication sector of Nigeria
did not in any way influence the objectivity of
the study. I conducted the study to the best of
my professional abilities.
