What are Giga Projects?
At PMI, we define giga projects as complex, transformative, and years-long initiatives with hefty budgets, often exceeding US$1 billion.
The terms “giga project” and “giga project management” are common in the Middle East, while similar projects, typically smaller in size, are often referred to as “mega projects" in other countries like the United States.
While giga projects are often related to infrastructure building, they aren’t always. Giga projects are making an impact across key sectors, including:
