The rapidly evolving threat around the COVID-19 virus, commonly
referred to as coronavirus, is impacting
the business and investor community across the world. The global
and interconnected nature of today’s
business environment poses serious risk of disruption of global
supply chains that can result in significant
loss of revenue and adversely impact global economies (Ey,
2020).
Armed with a deep understanding of finance and the building
process, controlling a construction job in
terms of time and money has always been the core of a project
manager’s role. Today, that definition has
been — to put it mildly — stretched. The advent of the coronavirus
has rewritten the PM playbook. Project
managers now not only have to build structures, they also have to
rebuild stakeholder confidence, as the
pandemic has transformed construction management in some unexpected
ways, as well as accelerated
changes to the practice that were already underway (Micthell
& Bucknell, 2020).
However, a good project manager has the capability to save an
organization time and money in the midst of
a massive transition by properly managing and planning for these
obstacles
