Brief I am to document, plan and reflect on a small project of my choice that will demonstrate my theoretical understanding of the course material. The project: • Is likely to be an event that could be delivered by a team of 5-10 individuals in a single term • Could be an existing piece of work that is being undertaken as part of a student society. Where this is the case, it needs to be made clear what aspect of the plan is being provided by the individual author The event: • Should provide some social good • Needs to involve a number of stakeholders both internal and external to the university. • Cannot involve activities that, if actually undertaken, could bring the university’s name into disrepute Executive Summary This project …show more content…

The job of project manager, as performed by Ron Barnes of CanDo Construction Ltd., is fundamental in making things happen, as he is responsible for winning and completing projects. To do this successfully, he must gather an accurate assessment of the competition through direct contact, past experience, or second-hand reports. He must also organize available material and human resources, and determine the timeframe necessary to complete all processes of a project.

A research plan is intended to encourage others that you have a valuable research assignment and that you have the intelligence to see it though. A research plan should include all the essentials in the research method and contain enough information for the reader to assess the proposed subject. Your research and the method you prefer, the research must address the following questions: What you plan to achieve, why you desire to do it and how you are going to do it. The plan should have enough details to persuade the reader that you have a solid research plan; you have an understanding of the important information and that your approach is sound. The value of your research plan depends not just on the quality of your assignment, but also on the quality of your research plan. A good research assignment could be subject to scrutiny or rejection just because the plan is not written well. This motivates me to develop a research plan that is logical, understandable, and convincing. This paper focuses on proposal writing rather than on the development of research
At this point the scope of the project has been defined in detail and the project team are ready to be appointed. Although a Project Manager can be appointed at any stage of the project, s/he will need to be appointed prior to the establishment of the project team. The Project Manager is responsible for all aspects of project performance including: planning, budget execution, project execution, and close-out Funding.

An old adage-plan the work and work the plan, in essence this is the key to successful project management. Project Managers (PM) must first plan out the project and then monitor and control the execution of the program work. There is a tendency for projects to short change the planning process. This is a common mistake. The time spent properly planning will result in reduced cost and duration, and increased quality over the life of the project. Using tried and true best practices for a PM will provide assurance that the program /project will be beneficial and successful.
Project management has always been an important branch of management. It involves gathering different resources with using a scientific approach of management to build all types of projects, starting from infrastructure facilities and buildings, to IT projects, or even to prepare and manage special events. As far as special events are concerned, Music Festivals usually require precise planning and organising for many reasons. The huge number of guests associated with such events, and the different types of resources needed to complete the project are all crucial elements, and will make planning for the Music Festival such a challenging task for the project manager, especially if it lasts for few days. The lack of accommodation, the hilly nature of the ground, and unexpected changes in weather are all problems facing the project manager that need to be addressed appropriately. This essay will discuss the resourcing plan, risk management plan, and leadership and management plan for the Music Festival. it will also discuss the reasons behind choosing the predictive approach among other available options in implementing project life cycles.
Project management in today’s challenging economy requires collaborative effort across an organization. Project managers are expected to make the most out of their team regardless of its composition. Therefore, unless the group operates as a high performance team, the project will not successfully balance the trade-off among cost, schedule, and quality. Relying strictly on the science of project management leads to an unspoken assumption that members on the project team would harmoniously work together to meet the project deliverables. We have seen time and time
Project Requirement: As per project requirement as a team we need to select a project based on different criteria like timing of project, complexity, probability of success and enjoyment of team. We need to execute the project as per the project management methodology and prepare different documents during life cycle of the project starting from initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and control and closure. One of the team member has to take leadership role of project manager and guide the team during project execution. At the end of semester we need to submit a project notebook with detailed summary of project and different documents generated during project.
Managing a project is no easy task. A project is a series of tasks or jobs that are related to each other and directed toward a common goal or output. Projects usually require a significant time commitment, and tend to be handled by groups of workers. The employees at Craft Construction, a small business that deals with complete remodeling and some small commercial buildings, generally divide into groups of two or three workers per project. The number of employees assigned to a job usually depends on the size of the project. For each project, a project manager and a lead carpenter are assigned to handle most of the work. Project scheduling is different for every job. Smaller jobs require less planning because there is
