Engineering, particularly engineering project management, is all about understanding and addressing the constraints that control the critical pathways to project success.
Time, cost, technology, labor, capital availability and of course opportunity cost are always factors, but today there’s another: sustainability. That word means many things to many people, but from a project management standpoint, sustainability can be thought of a little like Russian dolls.
Designing a steel mill for example to minimize CO2 output may be the design goal of a project, but there is also the environmental impact of the construction of the mill to consider, and environmental impact of the design and development activities that precede construction.
Clear definitions of the desired sustainability outcomes, timelines to achieve them, and a well-defined pathway to that success, are all essential, and this puts a premium on designers, managers and the tools they use to minimize project risk.
