Your organization probably has people doing project management. Are you one of them? Perhaps you run a team or provide expertise as an individual contributor. More and more people are involved in project-based work, even if they don’t have the job title ‘project manager.’ PMI calls this the Project Economy, and McKinsey expects the world to see an investment of $130 trillion in infrastructure upgrades alone over the next five years. .

I regularly conduct PMP training workshops. About one hour in, I discuss project stakeholders, and almost always the same question comes up: What is the difference between the project manager and the project sponsor? Students ask me this question because different organizations use different titles to represent project roles. It seems there is always a difference of opinion about the role of the project manager vs. the project sponsor.

When it comes to construction projects, the space that you’re filling is equally as important as the structure that you’re building. That’s why site analysis is so important to a successful construction project; whatever you’re building must work in the space both aesthetically and structurally. Since site analysis is so important, we’ll first define it and detail its purpose in construction project management.
