This document provides an overview of project management and megaprojects, using the London Olympics as a case study. It discusses the skills needed for effective project management, challenges that can arise in megaprojects, and how the Olympics organizers worked to mitigate risks based on lessons from prior failed megaprojects like Terminal 5 airport. Project management requires predicting costs, timelines, and outcomes while achieving goals. Megaprojects involve large budgets and resources across many interconnected smaller projects.

1. Introduction
Projects are a way to bring about predictable change. The introduction of this term is not so random
but implies managerial skills to predict change, costs, time, and everything related to the outcome
of a project. Projects are a way to bring about predictable change. The introduction of this term is
not so random but implies managerial skills to predict change, costs, time, and everything related
to the outcome of a project. The main challenge of project management is to achieve all project
goals and objectives while staying within pre-established constraints and frameworks where of
course the main role is played by performance, time, and budget. The next even more ambitious
challenge is to select and optimize the allocation and integration of inputs needed to meet the
predetermined objectives. One of the many skills of the project manager is to know almost
instinctively how much control to exercise so that small projects do not suffer from the unnecessary
bureaucracy that may be characteristic of implementing large projects. However not all technicians
agree on this thesis of essential flexibility. But we, with the influence of methodologies will deal
in future topics. To fulfill the responsibilities mentioned above and face the challenges it will face
a project manager must possess a variety of skills and expressions as a satisfactory professional
level. What is this complex of skills and knowledge to be an effective project manager? Of course,
there are many answers. Our analysis will focus on some key milestones.
Megaprojects are focused on programs for the improvement of various locales, businesses and
different elements including a couple of mono-and multi-projects. Considering the action in which
the task is executed, they are partitioned into a few classes like monetary, authoritative, specialized
and consolidated. In an association, the head supervisor is liable for the consideration and
organization of the whole association. Then again, project the executives are an exceptional field
of the board which manages the treatment of ventures. The contrast between project the executives
and in general administration lies in the outcome and the fixed time skyline. This implies that the
task is a one-time movement, which makes some restricted memories skyline inside which it
should be finished, just as produces a specific outcome or result.
Ventures that are described by bigger volumes than genuine requirements, for example, multi-path
streets while traffic is low. These are projects described by a significant requirement for financing
and a low number of recipients, generally attempted for commonly political or harmful reasons.
Finished public venture projects however for which monetary requirements are not accessible and

2. are not anticipated to play out their support. Public speculation projects which have been left
incomplete. These are generally caused in view of degenerate practices and low responsibility
limits. They can likewise be caused due to shifts in political bearing, where the new administering
course does not have similar public speculation needs contrasted with the past government.
Case analysis. London Olympics Games
Megaprojects imply important technological, economic, aesthetic or political issues to appear to
be very specific and only for a region, state or even a country. Political and private desires allowed
decision-makers long ago to make decisions without understanding and without considering the
risks of this decision. Risk management cannot really be said to be a process carried out only once
in the entire cycle of a megaproject. He is more than that. Risk management is a process that should
be continuous throughout the life of the megaproject, even after its completion further observations
should be processed because it may happen that for some unforeseen reasons of the megaproject,
different consequences occur. This paper analyzes exactly this issue, where as a case study will be
analyzed the London Olympic Games. From a scientific point of view, it is important to implement
analyzed decisions that have been developed and tested, but it is also important for Project
Managers to focus and focus on improving the processes and phases of the Megaproject.
Various project management theories say that there is a high risk that some things will not match
and merge perfectly, such as the case of the melting of the luggage system in Terminal 5 of London
Heathrow Airport. This terminal, which was a megaproject, failed before its opening in 2008, and
the main reason for its destruction was the processes being separated and mined in such a way that
the result was such. This project was further led by the ODA and the Organizing Committee who
are responsible for organizing the Olympic Games and were the most important reason that their
construction was completed a year before the start of the Olympic Games.
Following the experience of Terminal 5 as one of the most failed megaprojects in history, ODA
provided a strong partner for the construction and management of the megaproject, and this cry
enabled ODA greater quality and weight for its management. They set a realistic budget, not
possible and dreamy, and the critical governance by the government enabled a better relationship
with the delivery partner.

3. Analysis of megaproject partnerships
ODA learned from the experience of the Terminal 5 project. Being a "single" customer, rather than
a "repeat" customer such as BAA who runs several airports, ODA appointed a delivery partner,
CLM, the construction and management consortium of the project. This gave ODA access to some
of the best heavyweights in project management, many of whom had worked together successfully
in Terminal 5. Setting a realistic budget and government guarantee for the project were also critical
and will said there was a good working relationship between the client and the delivery partner.
On the other hand, was the case of Wembley Stadium which was given more time, 4 years and
more budget than planned. The risk in this case was that the company approved traditional
contracts for all, at a fixed price and that did not allow further changes. Now most of the problems
arose it was realized that there was no mechanism and enabled to resolve the issues and thus the
disputes were resolved by violating the project term of 4 years. While the mega project of the
Olympic Games had a concise deadline, and no partner or client could negotiate in any case or
phase because it was a high-level project and could not fail. Also, another reason which reinforced
the failure most was the desire of people to work as these games influenced the work culture.
As indicated by scholars, it is vital that such megaprojects have adequate hold assets to adapt to
the circumstances referenced above to accomplish all destinations and the venture to be long haul
on schedule. Notwithstanding, the degree of consumptions is not in every case high, or the level
of the financial plan is low. There are situations when the capacity of key supervisors is not
controlled and there is no reflection on their work while hypothetically their center ought to be
greatest. Megaprojects are focused on programs. They comprise of a lot more modest ones, which
are interconnected and joined by a shared objective, execution time and assets. Such focused-on
projects can be interregional, local, cross-sectoral, sectoral, public and worldwide. A huge number
of dollars arrive at their financial plans, and now and again more. Such projects are composed and
framed at the highway and state levels. 5-7 years, and here and there considerably more, can be
the span of their execution. Not unintentionally we singled them out, uncovering a point, for
example, project arrangement. Venture the board of this sort is intricate as it requires numerous
variables to be thought of.

4. Prior to the Olympic Games, the Paralympics occurred, which empowered competitors and
members with various capacities since it is their entitlement to be a rival in those Games. I think
this was probably the best advantage of this megaproject.
Organizing of the megaproject
At the London Games, the time contrast between the Olympic and Paralympic Games is more
limited than at some other past Games, and this is to show that it is anything but an auxiliary game
yet part of the significant Olympics on the planet and past. an extraordinary significance just as its
job and impact on individuals taking part or not. Without a doubt, after the Seoul Games in 1998,
new and essential rights were given to the debilitated after there would have been and there was
likewise a significant change in general assessment. The English Paralympic group was and ended
up being extremely fruitful and came second after China, for 3 Games in succession. In Beijing
they won 102 awards: 42 gold, 29 silver and 31 bronze. They sent 209 competitors, 198 officials,
86 boxes of products loaded up with 43500 things and 1500 shoes. The group took an interest in
18 of the 20 occasions.
Then again, youngsters who were competent and capable in this work after the Games, ought to
acquire the abilities of Innovation to be clearer around there and Games New advancements ought
to be more necessary in arranging yet in addition in the dissemination of 2012. So, all things
considered, Innovation should be significantly more noticeable in the principle and official goals
of the Olympic Games - particularly throughout the entire existence of inheritances that have
fizzled. Teaming up advances are additionally expected to empower the 2012 Games to be
imparted by authorities and the media in numerous nations and diverse time regions utilizing an
assortment of innovations. Here the most fundamental abilities to guarantee this with no
interference I should keep on remaining in London and for the labor force to remain considerably
more. The key abilities required are:
• Giving data innovation and correspondence to better labor force the board, arranging and
booking, everything being equal,
• Arrangement of data and correspondence innovation and clinical benefits
• Opportune and exact examination and assortment of occasion data for analysts

5. • The board of focal tasks, administration and help.
• More prominent commitment to the security administration
One of the supporters of these enterprises is Visa, which advanced London during the Games as
contactless, and which ought to have brought about more limited lines in more modest buys. Web
2.0 and other long range informal communication destinations are being utilized significantly more
to urge trustworthy volunteers to join and discover providers to keep the neighborhood networks
associated with the development interaction and market their normal most extreme advantages.
from these Games and inheritance. Past games have left no tradition of Innovation despite the
manner of speaking that happened, although Beijing accomplished much more in view of its
neighborhood assets inside the networks to address the issues of innovation.
Risk Management
With rising joblessness over a significant stretch and the current environment there is a labor force
that is consistently accessible. The specialized developments that were being acquired were
additionally being looked to accomplish the objectives of maintainability which incorporate
lessening fossil fuel byproducts. The London Games are an ideal chance to build up the most recent
abilities and to prepare the neighborhood labor force to get skillful in their utilization. Additionally,
the task the board abilities of the dad have unquestionably been featured as an expertise with basic
belief diversely and from prior occasions, on the development side as well as in numerous different
businesses. The innovation of the Olympic Games empowers every one of the strategies of the
game as well as influences the monetary angles, more than we might suspect.
Government botch with Uber projects is overseen and appointed to specialists all throughout the
planet in this field and with miniature administration by all administration pastors. Leaving to the
side the typical task objectives of time, cost yet in addition quality, these Games are seen with a
renaissance and a quality to offer basic games as well as top notch games, likewise, to leave over
the long haul a commendable social and sports legacy with manageable work. London the passages
that are being set up to move electrical cables to their individual nations are now finished on
schedule and on financial plan. The IOC has as of late detailed that the tidy up progress is two
years before the cutoff time. In any case, there are yet three years left until the cutoff time, i.e., the
Initial Function, on the grounds that there is still a ton to do. No occupants have been found at this

6. point for the Olympics. Prompting date, is the Association One Leyton Arrange football crew
which was likewise keen on West Ham. Tessa Jowell has as of late made it understood, in any
case, that the country's principal objective is to have Great Prix sports and not ordinary football.
Likewise, another state-opened school with an emphasis on sports will likewise be moved to this
arena. (APM) which is the Task The executives Affiliation has applied for Illustrious Contracted
status and a declaration of the result was normal in 2009. On the off chance that effective, plans
are believed to be accessible to make a particular library for qualified chiefs. this task. It is
additionally important to consider a wide range of kinds of examination to show how and where
duty will be put, separately or expertly, to empower a distinguishing proof of the individuals who
are or will be liable for the disappointments of the megaproject in it. what is to come.
