However, as is common with big expansion & petrochemical projects of high value, various challenges present themselves along the way.” Detailing her thoughts on the subject, she remarked, “Project management is like juggling, where coloured balls are replaced with time, cost and quality, and sometimes, we may fail, but learning and re-learning is the only way to improve ourselves.” Ms Mistry appreciated the Projects team for associating with former IOCians, who served as diligent projects’ experts and learning from their practical experiences.
