Abstract

Through lessons learned from the management of the conception and construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva, this article shows that a project management framework that is deliverable-oriented, DSM- and EVM-based, and developed in a collaborative managerial approach where all key contributors—so-called project engineers at CERN—are deeply involved, could undoubtedly set the foundation for a Lean project management framework.
