Integrated Project Management
Integrated project management refers to a developer’s capacity to coordinate and manage all project components, taking into account project construction and future operation activities at the project affected areas.
Developers should implement an integrated project management plan which addresses the major project components and the hierarchy of relevant plans and responsibilities, as well as a construction management plan which outlines the activities required for construction of the hydropower infrastructure and specifies the layout and zones for the construction site activities.
Understanding good practice
Maintaining good practice in integrated project management enables a project to meet its overall budget and timing objectives and targets, manage interface issues and ensure that construction risks are avoided, minimised and mitigated.
International industry good practice in integrated project management for hydropower projects is defined in the Hydropower Sustainability Guidelines on Good International Industry Practice (HGIIP).
Assessing project performance
Two assessment tools are available to measure hydropower project performance:
In Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol (HSAP), Integrated Project Management is addressed in P-6 for the preparation stage and I-4 for the implementation stage.
In Hydropower Sustainability ESG Gap Analysis Tool, Integrated Project Management is not addressed in the HESG Tool.
