Project Management in Telecommunication Projects Following the PM² Methodology

The article deals with project management methodologies in the telecommunications sector, focusing on global and Greek developments, as well as market trends, challenges and opportunities, following the European Commission’s PM² methodology.
The main technical construction project undertaken by Greek telecommunications companies in recent years is the improvement of urban connectivity through the replacement of traditional copper technologies with modern fiber optic connections. The projects are managed using the PM² methodology of the European Commission which provides for the analysis and monitoring of the project in the following four phases: the start, the design, the implementation and the closure delivery of the project.
One such project by the largest telecommunications operator in Greece in an area of Athens is summarized in the cited case study.
