The"Critical Decision"Project Management Approach for Major Science and Technology Infrastructure Construction Projects of the US Department of Energy
National major science and technology infrastructure refers to large-scale,high-performance research platforms or experimental equipment built by the country to support scientific research,technological innovation,and fundamental scientific activities.These projects are characterized by long construction periods,high costs,and significant risks,which place high demands on project management capabilities.Countries such as the United States,the United Kingdom,and Canada focus on the life-cycle of projects during the construction of major science and technology infrastructure,implementing refined management in staged approach.Each critical milestone is individually evaluated and approved,ensuring that project metrics meet expectations.Based on the management practice in China and worldwide,this article uses the United States as an example to introduce the"critical decision"project management approach long applied and refined by the U.S.Department of Energy.It suggests that China could consider adopting such methodology to further optimize the management process of major science and technology infrastructure projects,emphasizing life-cycle management and staged,refined management to better avoid cost overruns and schedule delays in project timelines.
