From project management as instrumental processes to projects as social process: a case study investigation

To contribute to the field of research of Projects as Social Processes, this
research study will investigate the various aspects of social processes in the
project environment. The study will be qualitative in nature and will use a case
study methodology investigating the social processes experienced by the
project managers of the various subsystems of Bombardier Transportation, as
part of the Bombela Concession Company, in the delivery of the Gautrain Rapid
Rail Link project.
Project Managers were interviewed to understand how they experience the
social processes taking place in the project environment as well as how they
handle and approach these social interactions.
The above methodology used in this exploratory case study is specifically used
to develop a justification for enlarging the existing methodological Project
Management Bodies of Knowledge (PMBOK) and the Life Cycle processes
applicable to System Engineering to include Social processes.
