The subject of integration is rarely discussed in the project and program management literature, yet it is essential to complex public projects, commonly known as megaprojects. Since trillions of dollars will be spent globally over the next decade on public projects, it is essential to evaluate the importance of integration in managing these mammoth structures. This article looks at how the interface between the various components of a project drives project outcomes and consequently the return on investment to society. The current article summarizes part of a larger ongoing research study of integration mechanisms and outcomes from integration as a project management concept for achieving success in large scale public projects. Future research will examine the development of integration mechanisms that will offer frameworks for integrating the people, the processes, the project and program methodologies and the project and operational phases of project delivery.
