Projects are initiated with continually validating the strategic intentions and impacts that these projects have from a business case perspective. Projects consist of tasks, guarded by schedules and objectives that must be achieved within set time limits, budgets and deliverables as outlined by an end user specifications. Project management is seen as an effective tool to deliver these initiatives through planning and documentation. The question, now, however, is how the traditional project management framework has been impacted by the onset of renewable energy projects. The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has initiated an Energy Autonomous Campus program within the Pretoria Campus supplying its energy from three primary renewable energy sources: solar, wind and biogas from biogenic waste. 1 MW of PV plant has been installed on campus with a further 1 MW of solar planned to be installed in the coming year. A total of 4 MW of solar is planned for the campus. Implementing a Solar PV project required the need to respond to unpredictable events, which requires agility to keep up with the required change. Agile project management methodology and framework is required for effective and successful completion of such projects. This paper focuses on the development of a suitable project management framework for the implementation of solar PV projects.
