Project management involves the identification and mobilization of resources in order to achieve goals. The following case study is an excellent example of this process and demonstrates the power of a successful project management process. This case involves an engineering firm charged with the challenge of maintaining the infrastructure of a series of new highways. This might sound simple but the reality was the complex maintenance plans for the new roadways were not organized, budgeted for and were all written on paper.
