A Comprehensive Analysis of Monitoring and Control Mechanisms in Operational Relocation Project at Limkokwing University, Botswana

Abstract

The analysis of project monitoring and control processes holds paramount significance in project management and delivery, attracting considerable attention within academic discourse. The study explores the intricacies of project monitoring and control, particularly in the context of operational relocation at Limkokwing University of Creative Technology Botswana. The study employs a comprehensive survey methodology, encompassing all project team members and university management, stratified by department, and tasked with responding to structured questionnaire items. Analysis of the gathered data unveils proficient performance in project monitoring and control, underscored by systematic reviews of project progress and interface oversight. Based on the insights gleaned from this investigation, the study urgently recommends the establishment of a specialized monitoring and control unit or function within the university’s organizational framework. This is not just a suggestion, but a crucial step to address developmental exigencies or challenges, and to enhance the prospects of successful project outcomes. However, the study also identified certain barriers to success, including inadequate staff coordination, a need for more skilled personnel with requisite experience, and resistance to organizational change. Therefore, further research is necessary to refine and optimize the efficacy of monitoring and control processes, taking into account these key factors.
