The PMI Chennai Chapter is organizing an Engineering & Construction forum to promote project management best practices in the infrastructure industry. This forum aims to discuss challenges facing the industry, share best practices, and foster collaboration between industry and academia. The timing is appropriate as the Indian government plans to significantly increase infrastructure spending over the next five years through public-private partnerships. However, many past infrastructure projects have experienced delays and cost overruns. The forum intends to help improve project management capabilities in the industry to better deliver projects on time and within budget.
