“…In this research, project management is observed as a process and, at the end of each phase, the project delivers products (i.e. product quality factors) [4,5,7,22,23]. Factors presented in Table 2 have been identified as factors of the process (project management process) and product (deliverables), which were selected and amended (after analysis and consultation with university professors).…”

Analysing significance of key quality factors for management of construction projectsThe study of key quality factors relating to construction project processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia has revealed that these factors are not accepted similarly by investors, contractors/subcontractors and project managers/consultants/designers. The first four ranked factors are: coordination of participants, communication, expertise/ knowledge, and planning and control, with various priorities among the mentioned participants. The study has also revealed that the significance of individual quality factors differs during various phases of construction projects depending on differing management standpoints. Istraživanje važnosti ključnih faktora kvalitete pri upravljanju građevinskim projektimaIstraživanje ključnih faktora kvalitete procesa građevinskih projakata u Bosni i Hercegovini te Hrvatskoj, pokazalo je da te faktore ne prihvaćaju jednako investitori, izvođači/podizvođači i voditelji projekta/konzultanti/projektanati. Prva četiri rangirana faktora su: koordinacija među sudionicima, komunikacija; stručnost/ znanje...; planiranje i kontrola, s različitim prioritetom unutar spomenutih sudionika. Istraživanje je nadalje pokazalo kako tijekom različitih faza građevinskog projekta važnost se pojedinih faktora kvalitete razlikuje s obzirom na različita upravljačka gledišta.

Abstract:Although the quality of a process affects the quality of the end product, there is currently an insignificant amount of knowledge about the quality of project management (PM) processes that directly affect the quality of the delivered product (constructed building). This study presents a proposal for modeling the impact of the quality of the PM process on the quality of the constructed building. The quality of the PM process is represented by the main quality factors and product quality indicators. It presents the results of the interviews that were conducted and study cases that were analyzed in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a variety of project participants (with different managerial perspectives) in terms of the indicators of quality of the delivered product. All participants, regardless of managerial perspective, believe that the most important indicator of the quality of products for each phase of the project is "customer satisfaction in the end phase", the measurement of which is different for each project phase that is presented. The results of the factor analysis of the definition and the planning phases show that 11 variables, namely, the quality factors of the PM process, can be grouped into three new factors, which is described as 66.61% (77.046%) of the basic set of variables.
