According to the Spanish magazine Hosteltur and according to the Spanish Association of Integrated Project Management (AEDIP), project management is "an integrative management system of processes and functions, flexible and sensitive to the requirements of customers, whose mission is to achieve the deadline objectives, cost and quality, to achieve an optimization of the return on investment".
"In addition to a discipline and a profession, it is a professional services contract in which an external and independent team advises the property from the first moment it decides to make an investment. Subsequently, it acts on behalf of the promoter to carry out exclusively the technical, economic, administrative, financial and relations coordination between all the participants of a project, from its origin to its operation, "they add.
During the same day, the executive director of Bovis Lend Lease, Ignacio Cobos, pointed out that the project manager is a figure of coordination of the entire process. "He advocates that there is a relationship between collaborators, for teamwork ... Obvious issues but that did not occur before and that we try to supply," he said. Project management is a new sector in Spain. According to data from AEDIP, there are 60 companies that are dedicated to it and among them, there are still not many large ones.
