Abstract

This thesis shows what needs to be done in order to have a proper project plan and what are the steps to be taken throughout the project that will lead to its success. The project presented here has been a novel project for Greece and that means that due to its complexities and unforeseen risk factors it crashed, mainly because of an unsuitable project plan. Through this thesis, the mistakes that were made in the duration of the project are made clear. The project mentioned is the design and installation of photovoltaic units on board a ship and the thesis presents the model project plan that could not only have been used for the project to be saved but can also be utilized as a valuable helping tool for future similar projects.
