Examining critical project management skills for successful delivery of major maintenance projects: Insights from the United Kingdom energy sector (2022)
Journal Article
Pieterse, B., Agyekum, K., Manu, P., Mohandes, S. R., Cheung, C., & Yunusa-Kaltungo, A. (2024). Examining critical project management skills for successful delivery of major maintenance projects: Insights from the United Kingdom energy sector. Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management, 31(4), https://doi.org/10.1108/ECAM-07-2022-0658

Purpose: Major maintenance projects are often regarded as maintenance activities regardless of the projects' complexity and scale. Consequently, very scarce research attention has hitherto been paid to the critical skills required when undertaking th...
