7.7 SYNOPSIS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

The aim of this subchapter is to summarise all the management activities that should be performed throughout the project life cycle in order to facilitate the personnel of the Contracting Authorities, who are involved in the project management process, to undertake their role easily and effectively. The following sections present the activities that should be performed under each project phase by providing also a brief description for each activity, the respective roles of the Project Manager and any other involved personnel, reference to the relative subchapters and sections of the Guide which provide guidance on how to perform each of the activities, as well as the tools to be used for performing each activity, including any related checklists, templates, forms, reports and spreadsheets that should be completed by those involved in the performance of the activity.

Although the majority of public projects are implemented by economic operators (“Contractors”), there is the possibility that some small-scale projects are implemented using internal resources (i.e. resources owned by the Contracting Authority). In this perspective, the following sections present a synopsis of project management activities and involved roles for both cases.
