🏗️ Sagrada Familia: Faith in Project Management 🙏

Situation: The construction of the Sagrada Familia basilica in Barcelona, Spain, began in 1882 and is still ongoing, making it one of the longest-running construction projects in the world. The project’s success relies on effective long-term planning, stakeholder management, and adaptation to changing circumstances.

Best Approach:

Implement a robust project governance structure (PRINCE2) to ensure continuity and alignment of vision across generations of architects, builders, and stakeholders.
Use the PMBOK’s project scope management processes to manage the evolving design and requirements of the basilica, while maintaining the overall architectural integrity.
Apply the PMBOK’s project communications management processes to engage and inform the public, donors, and other stakeholders about the project’s progress and vision.
Establish a comprehensive quality management plan (ISO 9001) to ensure the highest standards of craftsmanship and materials, befitting the basilica’s iconic status.
Embrace an agile approach (Agile PM) to adapt the construction plans and techniques to changing technologies, resources, and societal needs over the life of the project.

The Sagrada Familia project’s enduring success demonstrates the power of effective long-term project management, combining a clear vision with flexibility and stakeholder engagement. At Acute PMC, we draw inspiration from this iconic project to help our clients build their own lasting legacies.
