The increased degree of specialization means that these players need to cooperate with each other in different types of projects. Problem definition: What factors are important in a project to achieve the objectives as quickly as possible? More players should lead to cooperation difficulties, how can you coordinate in the best possible way? Today, it is desirable for all parties in the project to shorten down the lead time. Purpose: The main purpose is to explore the different factors that affects the project's lead time concerning broadband installation. The part purpose, is to analyze and assess the conditions for cooperation between different players in the project for broadband installation and to provide a recommendation. Method: In order to answer the problem definition, the paper is structured around a qualitative approach with interviews to obtain data. Mostly, the used data comes from primary sources with an extension of secondary sources. Theories: Theories that are used in the paper are: Communication Process, Communication Plan, Project Planning & Project Plan, Efficiency through collaboration, Communication in a network. Empiric: Empirical data consists of primary data collected through interviews. Analysis: The analysis is based on the variables from the theoretical frame of reference; Communications, Planning, Interaction & Information. From these variables, empirical data are analyzed in relation to the theory. Conclusion: In the conclusion, the authors discuss about the projects process which is described in the paper. The authors have concluded that; communication, planning and collaboration plays a major role in order to shorten down the lead times for the project. Cooperation beyond enterprise boundaries becomes necessary.
