Introduction
This paper is aimed at developing an elaborated project plan for the project that we have been discussing in the past weeks. The key idea of this comprehensive project plan is to prepare a detailed formal document which charts out a plan for end to end execution of the project. If a project is not supported by an adequate project management plan then it will a big risk of losing out on track and may not achieve its objectives. Hence, it is essential for every manager to bring out a project management plan before moving onto the project execution phase. The key elements of this plan are primary and secondary objectives, planning elaborations, important decisions and assumptions and so on. Using this document, managers can create communication mechanisms, project baselines and detailed strategies to achieve the project objectives (Harris, 2011). Narrowing down the focus, I have documented a detailed plan of transformation for the motorcycles maker into manufacturer of a touring class motorcycles. Meanwhile, the company will continue to produce the existing product range to hold onto its present consumer base. This will save the company against any financial risk in case of any failure.
Project Scope
As defined earlier, this project is to develop larger, touring motor cycles used for long distance, rough riding. These bikes will have powerful and robust engines to support the positioning of a powerful bike. These engines will have a minimum capacity of 1100 cc.
The paper is divided into three sections, the first of which will establish a timeline of events. This project background will serve as a case study for the analysis in the following section that will be structured such that each of the previously mentioned facets will be independently analyzed and contrasted with project management principles. Finally the paper will conclude with a summary of the analysis and recommendations based on
BCH Executives have agreed to begin the new touring motorcycle project with larger motors for long distance driving. The proposed target audience suggested for this product would maintain an income up to 100,000 annually. The project completion goal is within five (5) years of the marked beginning date. The company will use the current facilities where the medium-sized manufacturing are created with modification of the equipment and as well as additional staff. With an estimated goal of 100 larger motor motorcycle production at a cost determined by the approved budget, this project will utterly build additional profit for the company.
Projects are used today as a way of achieving a variety of outcomes in local or international locations for new constructions, new product development, product improvement, process design, process improvement, utility installation, theory and technology development, and many more. Bringing a project to a successful conclusion requires the integration of numerous management functions like controlling, directing, team building, communication and others. It also requires cost and schedule management, technical and risk management, conflict and stakeholder 's management, and life cycle management.

Effective use of electronic health records (EHR) has been the desired result since the implementation in the healthcare field. According to Barey, E.B., McGonigle, D., and Mastrian, K. (2015), “The four most common benefits cited for EHR are; (1) increased delivery of guideline-based care, (2) enhanced capacity to perform surveillance and monitoring for disease conditions, (3) reduction in medication errors, and (4) decreased use of care” (p. 255). An additional advantage the EHR could provide through project planning includes the ability to assist the healthcare professional with real-time, increased accurate intake and output (I&O) documentation. Alford (2003) encourages, “Nurses have been taught the rules of charting, but style and frequency generally are left to each facility and institution to dictate (p. 288). While maintaining accurate vital signs, the nurse also has a responsibility to interpret was is considered within normal limits. One study completed by Albert and Huesman (2011), provided insight on the effort to acquire an early warning component in the patient’s chart (p. 283). When a patient has the potential for decline, all
As the world is chaotic (Djavanshir and Khorramshahgol, 2006) it is impossible to always predict the future accurately. Teller at al (2012) describes project management as balancing the “iron triangle”, where changes to any one of the planned costs, quality or scope will change the other elements. Risk management allows contingency to be put into project plans, (APM, 2012) minimising negative effects and maximising the benefits of uncertainty.

This document is an annotated outline for a Project Management Plan, adapted from the PMI Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and IEEE Standard for Project Management Plans. The Project Management Plan is considered to be a “Best Practice” template by the ETS Enterprise Program Management Office (EPMO).

As part of the Defence integrated workforce, I would like to work under the broad direction of the project manager independently with the opportunity for reasonable autonomy and accountability for the achievement of project outcome along with best practices in project management methodologies.
Scenario D was a challenging assignment to complete within the project objective goals set by the executives. Even though I was able to complete the project on time, I was unable to keep my budget on track and keep the morale of my team between eighty-five through ninety-five percent. This week’s lesson has taught me how valuable a project manager is to the success of the organization’s project. Not only it is our responsibility to be a problem solver, it is the project manager’s job to be the collective voice of the stakeholders to outline the practicality of the project demands. This week’s readings helped me gain insight of what a project manager needs to do and bring to the table when a project’s demands will overall jeopardize the success of the project. The overall theme of this paper outlines how important it is to have transparent top-down and bottom-up communication. I also will express how vital it is to create strategic alignment throughout the lifecycle of the project.
The proposal writing process is multifaceted, encompassing both the actual submission of a request for proposal as well as the management of the implementation of received funds. Through class lectures and assigned readings, we’ve discussed the various aspects that make up the process of grant writing. Through this essay, I will explain this process as it leads up the management of the project once funded. Furthermore, this essay will explain how to ensure that the proposal submitted addresses key aspects necessary for the project to be implemented in line with best practices for project management.
The Project Management Plan (PMP) provides the general overview and establishes specific strategies and milestones for the preparation of study notes and delivery of presentation on the topic “Developing the Project Team “. The PMP will define the project 's requirements and expectations. This document will be updated as required, if there is any change in the subsidiary management plans.
The automotive industry is a wide field of connecting many engineering and scientific fields together in one systematic place. A lot of changes has occurred on this field since it came into existence. Because it’s a whole system of science and engineering, it is affected by a lot of factors and needs to adapt according to changes in these factors. This paper provides a critical review of chapter fifty-five of ‘Project management in the automotive industry’ by Christophe Midler, and Christian Navarre, that was conducted to provide a review of automotive industry’s history regarding project management. Followed by a personal estimation of the next phase.
