A Unified Approach to Project Management: Integrating Information Views and ICT Tools

The rapid evolution of information and communication technology (ICT) within the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries has introduced transformative opportunities and challenges. These advancements are not purely technical in nature but necessitate corresponding shifts in management processes and practices. Previous studies have discussed frameworks for project information management within construction; however, the broader implications for project management as a whole remain underexplored. This paper presents a holistic approach to project management that emphasizes the integration of various project information views, the explicit representation of their interdependencies, and the need for project management tools and procedures to adapt to these interconnected systems. By aligning managerial practices with the capabilities of emerging ICT, this unified approach aims to optimize the performance of construction projects.
