Claims against Project Managers can arise from allegations that a project was not properly planned, coordinated, documented or administered.

Examples can include:

• Cost overruns
• Project delays
• Scope disputes
• Failure to document instructions
• Variation disputes
• Contractor coordination issues
• Consultant coordination issues
• Incorrect progress assessments
• Inadequate project reporting
• Failure to identify or report an issue
• Contract administration errors
• Responsibilities allegedly accepted outside the agreed scope
• Confidential information being lost or disclosed

A Project Manager can also be included in a claim where another consultant or contractor made the original error.

The allegation may instead be that the Project Manager failed to coordinate, monitor or report the issue.
