2.THE ANALYSIS OF SPECIFIC DREDGING PROJECT MANAGEMENT ISSUES
3. PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS The major management problems encountered were: The lack of information-sharing between owner and potential contractors during the preconstruction phase. The lack of information flow to owners during the construction phase of the project.
4. PROPOSED SOLUTIONS Pre-qualifying potential contractors in the early stages of the project’s preconstruction phase. Bringing an independent management team with expertise in dredging into the project in its early stages. Developing a comprehensive information and communication management plan, risk management plan. Using information and communication technologies to implement the three points described above.
5. DEVELOPMENT OF THE WPMA SYSTEM The processes followed during the development of the WPMA were: Planning and Analysis of the WPMA Design and Implementation of the WPMA Planning Design

Planning Design 5. DEVELOPMENT OF THE WPMA SYSTEM 5.1 Planning and Analysis of the WPMA Objective:
Planning Design 5. DEVELOPMENT OF THE WPMA SYSTEM 5.1 Planning and Analysis of the WPMA Requirement Specifications: R1. The WPMA shall be a web-based application running on a server that has access to the Internet. R2. The WPMA shall be accessed through a web browser for data and documentation input and for data, information, and documentation output. R3. The WPMA shall implement data input, data output, reporting capabilities, and data management capabilities in accordance with the following roles: Owner, Contractor, Owner’s Team, and Contractor’s team.
Planning Design 5. DEVELOPMENT OF THE WPMA SYSTEM 5.1 Planning and Analysis of the WPMA Requirement Specifications: R4. The WPMA shall have the capability to authenticate the users in accordance with their corresponding roles for data and information management. This will enable the logging and certification of users at any geographic location that have an Internet connection. R5. The WPMA shall store the information entering the system on a database for future processing. R6. The WPMA shall have automatic data processing capability. The data entering the system will be automatically processed for reporting capabilities.

Planning Design 5. DEVELOPMENT OF THE WPMA SYSTEM 5.1 Planning and Analysis of the WPMA The Development Plan - WPMA Architecture Definition: During the WPMA System Architecture Definition, several system alternatives were explored: Stand-alone client application running on a client computer and a database (i.e. Access). Client application with a central server and a database server. Web-based application with a managed server and a database server.
