...Project Management Plan Horace Bethea, Nicole Brown, Eric Cornick, Robin Evans, and Kristi Longstreet CPMGT/301 November 19, 2012 Steven Chardon-Strunk Project Management Plan Because of strict accreditation regulations and laws related to Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 for institutions offering federal financial aid, an organization cannot offer traditional sales bonuses for employees who enroll students. Recently there has been a decline in employee morale. Senior management thinks that a new employee incentive program may boost employee morale (University of Phoenix, 2012, para. 3). This paper will include the work breakdown structure, activities, the sequenced activity diagram, a human resources plan, and a communication plan. The communication methods identified in the communication plan will be evaluated by identifying the communication tools and techniques most effective for the audience, and an explanation of why the methods of communication identified are most effective. The objective to this project management planning process is to successfully implement an employee incentive program within the university to boost employee morale that has declined because of the changes in compensation structure. Although the university cannot control what laws and regulations are changed governing federal financial aid, the university must abide by the changes to keep their accreditation. The university...

...Eletromax Project Management By Name Instructor Institution Date of submission Eletromax Project Management Part 1 Importance of scope Statement to the Success of a project Given that the project plan is referred to as the foundation of a successful methodology of project management. Then many argue that scope statement of any given project is the breath of any successful methodology of project management. Scope statement is of great importance as it contains details relating to the project vision. It plays an important role of describing the goals of the project, keep a record of what a complete project will be like and finally the deliverables of the project. It is very unfortunate that most of the project stakeholders tend to pay little attention to the process of developing scope statement of a project in question. Another very alarming issue relating to scope statement is that, most of the project managers tend to be very dedicated in developing the scope statement of a project but rarely do they pay attention to the scope developed as they go about their duties of implementing the project plan. For the scope statement to be of great importance to the successful implementation of the project plan, the manager of the project needs to keep on referring to the scope statement so that he/she can ensure that the project implementation is in line with the initial vision and objectives (Edward 1975). The scope statement is used to define the project requirements...

...Research Proposal: The Importance of Project Cost & Communication Management Project Management in general is based on the methodology of the triple constraint. Where the effective management of time, cost and scope/quality can define the success of a project. It is generally expected that the number one concern for project managers is to manage the triple constraint. Although, project managers used the triple constraint to evaluate and balance these competing demands in a project, it also became a measurement of project success. With today’s marketplace and the complexities they bring the triple constraint is not enough to properly define when a project was actually successful. There is evidence where projects have been delivered on time, within budget and meeting all project specification and still not perceived as successful by the stakeholders. The reasoning behind these results is that there are obviously other criteria just as important as the triple constraint to truly classify a project as successful. How to identify project success Identifying the success of a project is not based solely on whether the project was completed on time, there are other factors to measure. Learning from failed projects is also a critical part of creating success in the overall results. Projects can be evaluated in a manner that works for the industry or business the evaluation is being conducted for. This process is not rigid in essence, it may include things such as online surveys...

...Introduction The purpose of this Communication Management Plan is to define the communications requirements for the NM3 Consulting Project. This plan will be a guide for how any communications will be handled by all persons. It includes a communications matrix which maps the communication requirements of this project. This plan will be updated as different means and needs of communication do change. Due to the simplicity of the project this Communication Management Plan is simple in nature. Approach The members of NM3 Consulting(Team 4) will share equal project manager responsibility for this project. Team 4 will take a proactive role for ensuring that communications are effective and coherent for the entire project. As with most project plans, there will be possible changes and updates as the project progresses. These changes will occur due to possibilities of changes in personnel, scope, budget, or other reasons. Team41 will be responsible for all changes within the communication management plan. After any changes to the communication plan, Team 4 will send change requests to the Project Management Office and the Change Control Board for final approval and then distribute the updated plan to all team members and stakeholders. The methodology of the communications management plan and any changes will be consistent with the policies of the Change Management Plan.

...Project Implementation Plan: Part 2 CPMGT 305 July 20, 2015 James Kaczynski Project Implementation Plan: Part 2 Now that Team A has completed the first part of the implementation plan for the inmate shower project, the focus will turn the part two, the creation of a communication plan and a risk analysis for the entire project. The communication plan will ensure that there is role clarity among all members of the team. This clarity will lead to a more cohesive team and also help the project manager to lead the team more effectively. From there the project manager will look at a risk analysis for the project and help to communicate it to the team in an easy to read matrix. Both pieces are critical in the planning and implantation of the inmate shower project, and tying them together is important to ensuring that the project continues to run smoothly. Communication Plan Every project, no matter how big or how small, must have a well thought out and effective communication plan to be successful. According to the PMBOK, a communication plan establishes who will be communicating with who, how often, and by what means (Project Management Institute, 2013). The first step in any communication plan is to establish who needs to know what information. Because this is a relatively simple project involving a small number of people the list of people who will need to be informed of their duties is pretty small. The people included in the list of those who the information will...

...Groups One of the most discussed tables in the Project Management Institute’s (PMI), A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, (PMBOK® Guide) Fifth Edition is the “Project Management Process Groups and Knowledge Areas Mapping” matrix, found in Table 3-1 on page 61. This table maps the 47 processes of project management to their corresponding Knowledge Area, as well as to their corresponding Process Group. At first glance, the table seems quite complicated, so let’s break it down and uncover why a solid understanding of the relationships between processes, Process Groups, and Knowledge Areas is important to anyone preparing to take the Project Management Professional (PMP) ® exam. It’s so important, in fact, that we suggest you memorize this matrix and the relationships it calls out. Memorizing the table will prove to be a valuable asset to you during your PMP Exam. What is a “Process” – 47 processes of project management? Let’s start with the building blocks of the matrix - what is a process? At its most basic level, a process is simply a way of transforming an input into an output using proven tools and techniques. The PMBOK® Guide defines a process as “a set of interrelated actions and activities performed to achieve a specified set of products, results, or services.” Good processes-based on sound principles and proven practices-are extremely important for a project’s success. Processes, like a roadmap, keep the project going in the right direction; they can also...
