Development of Project Methodology Implementation: Engineering Perspective

The study aimed to develop a methodology for the implementation of construction projects according to the world standards during the life cycle of the project from the beginning to the closure. Since the construction projects in Jordan suffers many problems, a specified questionnaire was designed as a method of data collection and distributed among simple random sample of 191 respondents from total population. The relative importance index was used to sort the practices according to their importance to the proposed methodology. The results showed that the most important factors according to the overall ranking based on the value of the relative importance index (0.844) is in the project planning stage. This is related to the duration of the task, which should not exceed more than (4-6) weeks; as the determination of the duration of the project activities is an important point in developing the methodology. In addition, the study revealed that the project monitoring and closing phase is the most important during the project life cycle (relative importance index was about 0.655). The lowest value of the relative importance index was (0.399) in the implementation phase of the project,
