Abstract
This paper is focused on the root cause analysis of post project phases. The research has been linked to the identification of the 21 most common reasons for not executing post project phases. The main aim of this paper is to identify the root causes of not executing selected post project phases. The empirical research was performed as qualitative research employing the observation and inquiry methods in the form of a controlled semi-structured interview. The research was realised in the Czech Republic in 2017 and 2018. The key performances for ensuring a functional, effective and systematic post project process are based on the principles of knowledge management. The identified causes were used as inputs for the proposed measures with the aim to make the post project process more effective. The main contribution of the paper is the overview of techniques that may be recommended for post project analysis. These techniques are demonstrated in detail on particular examples of the analysis of the most common reasons for failure to implement post project phases. The described examples demonstrate the procedure to be followed in order to identify the root cause of the analysed phenomenon. At the same time, the paper also describes proposals of recommended measures that should minimize the root causes resulting in negative outcomes. The paper explicitly emphasizes and shows the connection between knowledge management and post project phase effectiveness.
Highlights
The Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, introduced a new coherent way of thinking concerning the connection between the issues concerning 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as an “indivisible whole.”
The decisive criterion for inclusion in the relevant category was always considering the nature of the individual problems of non-post project phases
It should be emphasized that the procedure and results presented in Chapter 4 (Results) are not based on “hard statistics” but rather constitute “soft processes,” which is more appropriate in this case
Summary
The Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, introduced a new coherent way of thinking concerning the connection between the issues concerning 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as an “indivisible whole.” These ambitious goals can be achieved (among other things), especially and just by using the knowledge management and project management principles [1,2]. The Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, introduced a new coherent way of thinking concerning the connection between the issues concerning 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as an “indivisible whole.”. These ambitious goals can be achieved (among other things), especially and just by using the knowledge management and project management principles [1,2]. The paper elaborates on previous research of the authors focused on identification of critical success factors of sustainability projects It follows from the 21 reasons for failure of post project phase implementation in project practice identified earlier. The main objective of the paper is to identify the most significant root causes of selected reasons for post project phase implementation failure by means of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and to propose measures and recommendations in order to increase efficiency of post project stage execution, directly based on the results of the conducted research [5]
