9-1 Final Project: Project Management Plan
Adrienne Johnston
QSO 640
SNHU
Introduction
“
A project management plan is a set of documents that outline the how, when and what-
ifs of a project’s execution. It overviews the project’s value proposition, execution steps, resources, communication tools and protocols, risks, stakeholders (and their roles) and the deliverables involved in a project’s completion. Its documents include an executive summary, Gantt and team charts, risk assessment and communication- and resource-management subplans. A project management plan serves as a blueprint or roadmap to the ultimate success of your project. It does so by aligning talent, buy-in, manpower, resources, risk management and high-
quality communication around your plan. It also ensures everyone knows their responsibilities, which tasks are involved and when deadlines are so the project stays on track for quality on-time completion.” (Rudder, 2023)
Project Initiation
The organization, Hightower Global Solutions focal point of business is technology that offers fiscal services as well solutions that can be outsourced accordingly for a diverse portfolio of clients. The clients range from insurance organizations, financial companies, such as banks and investment firms. It’s important to note that in addition to what’s described above, Hightower’s C-level team is laser focused on expanding its portfolio by buying up small companies to integrate within Hightower. “Portfolio realignment as part of a broader business transformation can be a complex, gut-wrenching, time-consuming process.” (Realigning Your Portfolio for Growth, n.d.)
Peter McKenzie (sales, budgeting, marketing) is motivated to developing a collaborative portal, when complete, will boost performance around sales, and offer information, review presentations, see blog data as well as data from public forums, and get access to webinar permissions. Peter believes the portal, which will cost approximately $1.5 million to complete, will be a critical aspect of Hightower’s acquisition strategy.
Feasibility
The CEO of Hightower, Carol Bailey, is meticulously monitoring the implementation of the “portal” project (named “HighLEARN”) as well as its conclusion. It is believed that upon completion, HighLEARN will be able to unite learning and development applications, giving employees the ability to collaborate on different projects as well as the base of projects having another tool for developing budgeting costs. The bottom line is that HighLEARN will offer a more seamless way for employees to go about certain aspects of their roles within a project.
Strategic Goals
HighLEARN intranet, which offers many different valuable tools, will insist that its sales training will be in lockstep with Hightower’s strategic business goals, improving upon its present
technology and communication around outsourcing solutions. In its goal of boosting sales, assisting sales teams, and ultimately increase earnings, Hightower, ultimately, wants to offer remote training of brick-and-mortar classroom settings with the use of the HighLEARN portal, once completed.
