Developing footpath Project charter Expert judgement Project Management Plan The project charter will be the input and will consist of all the information in association to deliverables, objectives and scope of the project. Experts will be required to provide there useful input on the input so that an efficient output i.e. project management plan can be delivered. Project management plan will be developed on the basis of the opinion provided by the expert. 1.2. Design of footpath should meet the requirements of Mackay Regional council in association to Quota park footpath project. Project Management Plan Meetings Scope Management Plan Project management plan developed from the opinion provided by the expert is the input so as to develop a scope management plan. Meeting will be held in which discussion related to the input or the project management plan are made so as to define the scope. After the meetings an output will be delivered based on the input data and the decisions taken out in meeting to develop a scope management plan. 2. Configuration 2.1. Volume of material used for the construction of footpath. Quality Control Measurements Process analysis Project Management Plan Updates To ensure that the volume of the material used for the footpath is adequate and as per the contract and Australian standards Quality control measurement will be used as the input. Complete analysis of all the processes in the past projects and other similar projects is carried out so as to determine the adequate volume of material that can be used in the development of the footpath. The analysis on the quality control measurements will help in determining the adequate volume of material that is required to be used and will also provide updates to the project management plan that was developed earlier. 2.2. Strength of concrete, used for pavement of footpath. Quality Control Measurements Process analysis Project Management Plan Updates To ensure that the strength of the material used for the footpath is high and as per the Australian standards, Quality control measurement will be used as the input. It is essential that the strength of the concrete is very high to ensure that the footpath is strong. Complete analysis of all the processes in the past projects and other similar projects is carried along with determination of the Australian standards so as to determine the correct strength of material used in the development of the footpath. The analysis on the quality control measurements will help in determining the adequate strength of material that is required to be used and will also provide updates to the project management plan that was developed earlier. 3. Status Accounts 3.1. Hardening of Concrete Quality Metrics Quality Audits Change Requests Quality Metrics is used as the input and to ensure that the concrete that is paved on the footpath is properly cured and the footpath is meeting all the quality requirements. To ensure that the quality requirements are being met completely it is essential to understand that the concrete strength and the material used should of high quality and proper curing is needed to be done to ensure proper hardening of the material. Audits to ensure the quality of the material are carried out regularly after fixed duration of time. The output will ensure that the quality requirements are being completely met and if there is any discrepancy in the quality met and expected change requests will be made. 4. Logs 4.1. Surface damage Project Management Plan Expert Judgement Risk Management plan In order to ensure that the footpath paved doesn’t face any damage especially to its surface project management plans are provided as an input so as to ensure that the risks can be reduced. The plans are analysed by experts, who after the complete analysis of the plan will provide there inputs and expert judgement that will be helpful in preventing the issues. From the expert opinions plan that will be helpful in overcoming the issues will be developed also known as risk management plan. 4.2. Strength of the mixture is poor Deliverables Inspection Validated Deliverables It is essential to ensure that the quality of the output delivered by the project should be high hence the deliverables that are delivered through the project will be analysed and inspected. Inspections on the deliverables delivered from the project are done to ensure that the deliverable is matching the outputs delivered. The output delivered will be deliverables that are validated and will be accepted by the client as they are similar to more than the objectives of the project. 5. Issues 5.1. Not meeting the Australian standards for construction and building. Risk Management Plan Documentation Review Risk Register If the output delivered is not able to fulfil the rules and regulations as per the Australian standard of building and construction the project will not be accepted. So it is essential to analyse the risk management plan. All the documents in association to the risk and Australian standards for construction and building are reviewed so as to determine if they are being met or not. From the documents and review a risk register consisting of all the information of risk and plans to remove them is present. 5.2. Lack of skilled labour. Human Resource Management Plan Acquisition Project staff assignments It is essential that the human resource required for the project is to be managed effectively as requirement of the skilled labour is very essential for the completion of the job and in the absence of the skilled labour there can be problems related to completion of the project on time and delivering a good quality product. Thus it is necessary that good and skilled labours are acquired and for each tasks to be done skilled labour are used. The tasks of the project are assigned as per the labour skills and only those people who are capable of doing a certain task are asked to perform it. 5 TIME DRIVEN ITEMS Controllable Category Item & Explanation PMBOK Knowledge Area Input Tool & Technique Output 1. Deliverable 1.1. Complete the project in allotted assigned time limit Project charter Meetings Schedule Management Plan The project charter will be the input and will consist of all the information in association to deliverables, objectives, scope and the time frame of the project. Meetings will be concluded so as to determine the time required to complete the tasks. On the basis of the meeting and information extracted a complete schedule management plan will be developed. 2. Configuration 2.1. Time taken by the mixture to settle down. Schedule Management Plan Rolling wave planning Activity attributes Schedule management plan will consists of information in regards to the time that is allotted for the completion of each task. Complete schedule plan will be thus analysed. Rolling wave planning is the techniques that will be used on schedule management plan. The output provided after using the tool on schedule management plan will consist of information in association to the activity attributes. 3. Status Accounts 3.1. Finishing the project Activity attributes Three-point estimating Activity duration estimates All the attributes in association to the activities that are being performed are carried out. A three point estimating tool will be used to analyse the activity information and to ensure that the estimates that are made in association to the activities of the project are perfect. The analysis will help in providing information that can be used so as to make estimates in relation to the activities and the time that will be taken by each activity to complete. 4. Logs 4.1. Delay in completing the tasks. Schedule Management Plan Scheduling Tool Schedule baseline In situation where there is a delay in completing a task schedule management plan developed earlier will serve as input. Scheduling tool will be used so as to ensure that the tasks are completed in the allotted time frame and to determine the ways that can be done to ensure that the time schedule is achieved. The analysis and the results after the implementation of the tools and techniques over the input will provide an appropriate schedule baseline that will give detailed and revised information of completing all the tasks and will ensure that the project gets completed as per the schedule. 5. Issues 5.1. Project running over schedule. Schedule data Resource optimization techniques Project management plan Schedule information of the project will be used as input for the analyses by implying various techniques. Optimization techniques will be used to ensure that the resources are properly managed and the tasks that are running over schedule can be allotted extra resources to ensure that the task get completed in allotted time frame. Resource optimization techniques will offer techniques that can be implemented to ensure that the tasks get completed as per the schedule and will help in delivering a project management plan.
