projects
![Page 5: Best Practices in Managing WisDOT’s Mega & ARRA Projects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816403550346895dd5a8f3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Research Project Background
• Research Idea:– Identify best practices, procedures, standards,
and programs
– Evaluate effectiveness
– Determine benefits for future use
– Recommend those that should be adopted
– Suggest adoption strategies
