Project Management – MGT5PMT Assessment one Project goals, Scoping and Overview Asif Ashraff - 18217042 1. Developing a set of relevant and achievable goals The main goal is to plan as well as manage project for bringing the Western Australian Storage facility up to the needed standard while continuing with the normal operations. Proper planning as well as designing of the project is helpful in minimizing environmental fines that is detected due to the leakage of petroleum products into the surrounding soil. The project aims at constructing the storage capacity with modern as well as innovative ideas. The challenges that are associated with the project must be analyzed as well as resolved properly for attaining achievable goals. It is analyzed that the goals of the project will be measured with the help of milestone as the project progresses. Milestone of the project is a key event in the lifecycle of the project that helps in tracking all status of the project including schedule status, percent completion as well as progresses. The project of oil and gas progress is also determined with the help of the milestone. The table below reflects the completion date of the activities that will be executed for completing the project, which is associated with the oil company. Milestone Date M1: Initiation of the project 3/4/2017 M2: Planning Phase of the project 10/4/2017 M3: Execution 17/4/2017 M4: Monitoring 21/4/2017 M 5: Closure 28/4/2017 2. Brief scope statement In- scope of the project include: Designing of the tank with innovative designing The project must be completed within the estimated budget and time Improving the present infrastructure of the company Minimizing logistical challenges The out scope of the project includes: Construction of tank to increase its capacity Improving the site challenges Processes and methods used for determining the scope The methods as well as processes that are utilized for determining the scope of the project include: Context diagram: The visual depiction of the tanks as well as its negative impact on the environment helps in reflecting the scope of the project. Surveys: The organization conducted surveys in various countries for determining the conditions of the tanks as well as the infrastructure of the company for meeting the requirement of the consumers (Walker 2015). Interviews: Interviews are conducted for interviewing the staff of the organization in order to analyze the need of construction for improving the infrastructure of the organization so that they can be able to provide required facility to the Western Australian storage. Expert Judgment: The experts of the company provide suggestion to improve the condition by constructing the tanks as well as infrastructure the company with innovative ideas in order to minimize the environmental challenges. Decision making technique: The higher authorities of the organization decided to construct the tanks with innovative ideas for improving the conditions as well as for minimizing the challenges (Burke 2015). Identification of the stakeholders and importance in determining the scope Name of the stakeholders Responsibilities Danie Wagner (Executive Director) Victoria helps in administering all the activities of the organization as per the mission and vision of the company (Cunha, and Neto 2015). Kathy Gilliard (Project Sponsor) The project sponsor helps in delivering the project fund to the organization. Susan Brown (Projet Manager) The project manager helps in managing the budget, schedule as well as various requirements of the project in order to proceed with the construction as well as with the designing of the infrastructure (Sudarsana et al. 2014). Architectural Technician (Michelle Madrid) The architectural technician understands the various designing aspects of the project for influencing as well as relating performance a and functional issues. Construction Manager (Victoria Owens) The construction manager helps in setting up the estimation, budget as well as construction timetable for the consumers and helps in developing the construction strategy for the project. Deliverables of the project The deliverables of the project is provided below in the table: Deliverable Start Date Initiation of the project 1/4/2017 Planning of the project 6/4/2017 Implementation of the design 13/4/2017 Development of the project 18/4/2017 Documentation 22/4/2017 Acceptance criteria The acceptance criteria of the project plan helps in ensuring that the organization meet with the proper planning as well as management for brining the Western Australian Storage facility up to the required standard is accepted. The management of the organization accepts the features of the project after the project is as it is quite beneficial for the organization. It will be helpful in minimizing the environmental fines that is detected due to the leakage of petroleum products into the surrounding soil. The organization accepts the factors which include the features incorporated in the new design, involvement of various stakeholders, requirement of staffs as well as resources utilized in the project for attaining the goals as well as objectives of the project. 3. Overview of the Case Study project’s overall process, life cycle or methodology The process of the project manager, which is discussed below, can run through all the processes include: Phase management: The various phases of the project is managed very much effectively. Planning: The planning of the project is carried out for having detailed information before the implementation of the project. Control: The project must follow some of the control measures in order to attract more number of customers as well as for controlling the challenges related with the project (Boud, Cohen and Sampson 2014). Team Management: The project manager must be able to manage the responsibilities as well as roles of the project manager in order to achieve the goals as well as objectives of the project. Communication: it is quite important to have proper means of communication in order to manage the project properly. Procurement: The organization hires a third party in order to maintain the functionalities related with construction project. The project utilizes Waterfall methodology for completing the construction of the tank as well as the infrastructure of the company. The steps or processes that are included in this methodology include: Requirement specification: In this stage the requirement of the project is analyzed as well as specified in order to proceed with the construction work. The requirement of the project also includes time as well as proper budget estimation for managing the resources effectively. Design: In this phase, the design of the project is made for proceeding with the work of the project. Construction: In this stage both the tank as well as infrastructure of the company is constructed in order to reduce or minimize financial issues as well as challenges (Sudarsana et al. 2014).. Integration: This stage helps in investigating the extent of integration that can be achieved with the help of construction team. Testing: the tester tests the constructed part in order to analyze that the project is going in the right direction. Maintenance: The maintenance of the project is analyzed as well as provided with the help of this stage. Refrences Sharif, S., Kamaruzzaman, S.N. and Pitt, M., 2014.
