Each project has its specificities, challenges and complexity (technical, organizational, legislative and others), which gives the project its value. For me as head of software development project, the big challenge are mostly technically (search of solution), change management, and challenges related to the unclear or not shared project objectives.

I have completed a project on priority based Traffic-Signal controll System in my undergrad microcontoller course. It was a challenging one becuse the duration for the project was very short. But i completed it on time.

I was involved in project for an International World Games 2017 in Wroclaw. It included the preparation, modernisation , expansion or construct 24 objects to play sports ( stadiums, swimming pools, velodromes, the pitch to play off competition etc.).Given the limited budget and the need for getting objects in just over a year project require a major commitment and determination in supervising the contractors and cooperation with the authorities of the city of Wroclaw in this respect. Project had a big impact on the customers and had a set of needs (very fast program requirements, very low cost to build, short time to make changes etc.). All the elements caused many situations but I could absorb them and reassure the organizers of the attainment deadlines. Establish the conditions with sports federations, approval of plans and supervising the implementation of objects in accordance with a timetable was a big challenge but I had really enjoyed the process and I need to a very well organized, with determination, the entire project teams to successfully implement the actions planned for all establishments, enter and enforce the rules of efficient communication, accountability and management of risks and threats in the framework of the project team.

This was a huge project realized in the international environment, with significant budget and I got to learn many new things from this project and was most challenging project for me to organize all that.

Most challenging engineering project was, MPW Agreement No. EF/R/203 Study and Design – Upgrading of Al Ghouse Road Project (approximately 30km long road, which includes 11 interchanges), in association with Egis International from France. A project of approximately KD 200 Million construction value. 

I prepared BoQs for all services and designed the relevant infrastructure.

thanks for the invitation , it was construction of high way that includes rock cutting and at elevated hight with too much acute bends including calvert boxes and bridges in rural area where water resources are rare and traffic  through  mountains is difficult under burning sun and safety hazards  in every aspect with explosive materials sometimes to break hard rocks  and supplies are hardly transported to the sites , and some times  fierce, wild and unmanagable workers as threat to  self security if they repel  because the security authorities are not easily reacable with no execuses  for not achieving the daily targeted production even the execuse is short of fuel which is used for unpredicable activities , where the accomodation is among deep desert and food sometimes is in lack , it is not just challenging project but a life risk project i hope you will not pass through this hard experience

Every project has its own challenges.  Being a software engineer, i have to say the most fun challenge i faced in a project is designing a solution structure that aligned with both, the organization and the team.  The project was moving the organization into a paperless office.
