Abstract
Managing a design project arguably needs a simplest organizational structure. There are established methods and procedures on which to base a suitable structure for managing design projects. Project management tends to deal not only with a process or system in carrying out a particular task (e.g. a military project) but also entails the crossing of functional and organizational boundaries to achieve higher levels of performance and productivity. In this research, the concern of project management is to use management skills in coordinating design activities with other tasks in the organization, ensuring the provision of comprehensive design activities being given a high priority in the project strategy. Managing the design project is confronted in more detail by the series of work stages and project documentation that gives direct responsibility for project control, verification, review and evaluation. One aim of this research is to concern design project management framework (DPMF) as presented in the academic conference is to show how to manage design projects and all the work stages from the project launch to project completion.

An Exploratory Study of Managing a Design Project.
Managing a design project arguably needs a simplest organizational structure. There are established methods and procedures on which to base a suitable structure for managing design projects. Project management tends to deal not only with a process or system in carrying out a particular task (e.g. a military project) but also entails the crossing of functional and organizational boundaries to achieve higher levels of performance and productivity. In this research, the concern of project management is to use management skills in coordinating design activities with other tasks in the organization, ensuring the provision of comprehensive design activities being given a high priority in the project strategy. Managing the design project is confronted in more detail by the series of work stages and project documentation that gives direct responsibility for project control, verification, review and evaluation. One aim of this research is to concern design project management framework (DPMF) as presented in the academic conference is to show how to manage design projects and all the work stages from the project launch to project completion.
