Project Management Plan
Disclaimer: Conduct research on Project Management Plans to better understand their content
(example: ProjectManagementDocs.com). The goal of this assignment is to understand the process of
creating a Project Management Plan. When enough detail is not provided, use your best judgement to
fill in the blanks.
The IT Project that was completed earlier in the semester involved only the implementation phase of
deploying IT resources to a new building. This assignment goes beyond the earlier project to look at
the project from the analysis of the IT needs through the evaluation of the IT project.
Background: The university plans to acquire additional facilities in the future. The state notifies the
university’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) when legislation approves the acquisition of new facilities
(the actual construction of the facility is outside the scope of this assignment).
The CEO notifies the Chief Operations Officer (COO) who acts as the project sponsor and approves the
opening of the facility. The COO identifies the administrative and academic departments (to include
the IT department) that will occupy the facility. The COO and each department then assign a
representative to work on the project team and represent their interests. The IT department may
assign multiple members to represent specialized areas involved in the project.
The COO then tasks the Project Manager to begin the analysis phase to determine the occupant’s IT
requirements and specifications. The scope of the project includes analyzing, designing, developing,
implementing, and evaluating the IT requirements of the new facility.
The Project Manager works with each department and the IT department to document all their IT
requirements and design/develop the best solution. Once completed, a final IT budget is established,
and the project sponsor approves any changes to cost, schedule, quality and scope.
The typical order of execution includes 1) analyzing and documenting requirements; 2) design and
develop the best solution; 3) review and signoff by the departments who will occupy the facility; 4)
approval of the budget and project management plan by the COO; 5) execution/implementation of the
project; and 6) an after-action evaluation of the project.
The major milestones (and only the milestones) from the earlier IT Project Plan will be incorporated
into the Project Management Plan schedule. One significant difference here is that the earlier IT
Project Plan might contain separate milestones for each area of the facility (i.e. “offices completed”,
“admin areas completed”, etc.) but, since the layout of a new facility is dynamic, the milestone can be
consolidated. Additional milestones for the analysis, design, development and evaluation must also be
included in the Project Management Plan schedule.
While the building is under construction, the COO will notify the Project Mana ...

the project status, via email
immediately. Thirty days before construction is completed, in-
person meetings will be scheduled on a
2
weekly basis with the project team. These meetings will be
facilitated by the Project Manager who will
ensure meeting notes are captured and distributed. The Project
Manager will also communicate with
the COO and senior management when requested. The Project
Manager is responsible for monitoring
the project and reporting to the project sponsor should the
scope, cost and schedule be adversely
affected.
The assignment includes identifying at least 10 risks that might
be documented and tracked during the
project implementation. These risks must be based on the
requirements from this document and not
from generic risks found during your research of other project
management plans.

Lab Introduction
The organization of living tissue starts with chemicals, then
progresses through cells, tissues, organs, organ systems and
lastly organisms. In this lab you will examine the middle of the
hierarchy, how tissues are put together to make organs.
This is a really important concept; if you can figure out which
tissues make up an organ and you understand the features and
5. functions of the individual tissues, then you can start to
understand how the organ works.
You will first look at slices of organs and figure out which
tissues you are looking at. Next, you will look at some
individual tissue types and their function.

Tissue Classification
Review the tissue classification scheme covered in lecture and
the textbook. Make sure you can list the four basic tissue types
(epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous) and the major sub-
types. You should be able to attach special functions to specific
tissue types and suggest examples/locations for each type.
This lab focuses on epithelial tissues and most of the connective
tissues. You will look at cartilage, bone, muscle and nervous
tissue in other labs.
For each tissue, note how the structural features contribute to
the function of the tissue and the overall organ.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Histology and Tissue Organization
Almost all of the slides you will look at will be labeled as one
tissue subtype, but that doesn’t mean that’s the only tissue on
the slide. Most slides are sections of organs that are made up of
several tissues, which can make finding a particular tissue
confusing (especially when looking for epithelial tissues).
Makes sure you have access to a reference (APR or a textbook)
so you know what you are trying to find!
When you are looking at epithelium slides, only a small portion
7. of the slide will be epithelium and the majority typically
connective tissue and smooth muscle. Much of the time the
organ on the slide will have a “lumen”, the hollow portion of a
tube. The blood in an artery travels through the lumen, as does
food in your digestive tract.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Organ Organization
Another problem is that most slides are not easy to orient, they
are not perfect slices of the target organ. Most will be at weird
angles that can add to the confusion.
Just remember that most of the epithelium slides will have a
lumen and use that to orient yourself (the epithelium will be
lining the lumen).
The connective tissue slides will mostly just have that one
tissue type on the slide.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Organ Organization
How can you tell which cells are which?
Epithelial layers tend to stain darkly (because the cells are more
densely packed than connective tissue) and lining a lumen.
Epithelial cells will (almost) always be supported by some loose
areolar connective tissue deep to the basement membrane.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Organ Organization
Deep to the areolar connective tissue there will often be two or
8. three layers of smooth muscle (not shown in the figure)
Some of the organs you see will have all four types of tissue
(but it is very difficult to find nervous tissue in most organs;
this figure shows a nerve, but you would be unlikely to see this
in a real histological section).
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Artifacts
Always remember these are real pieces of tissue. The thin slices
can get damaged during the preserving process.
You will often find areas that get torn as the slice is “fixed”
onto the glass slide. This almost always is found in the areolar
connective tissue because that tissue is mostly ground
substance.
Remember that areolar connective tissue is mostly fluid (which
all gets washed off during the slide prep). There are few cells
(fibroblasts) and fibers (collagen) to hold the tissue together.
The images to the right show a typical artifact (something that
doesn’t represent the original structure). All the gaps you see
(red star) are torn areolar connective tissue, not lumens.
With practice you will easily be able to distinguish artifacts
from actual lumens.
Lumen

Photo 1. Epithelium, Stratified Squamous
Open the Google photo album from the Lab Materials slide and
9. find the image Stratified squamous, ET, esophagus. The
function of the esophagus is just to quickly move chewed-up
food from the mouth to the stomach.
It makes sense that this epithelium is stratified squamous.
Absorption is not needed, secretion is minimal (saliva is already
present), and there’s no diffusion taking place.
Stratified squamous epithelium is the best option when just
protection from abrasion is required.
Capture the image and add it to the region to the right. Label:
apical surface (the squamous-shaped cells), basal surface
(rounder, younger cells), connective tissue, lumen. Use
textboxes and arrows.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Photo 2. Epithelium, Simple Cuboidal
Find the image Simple cuboidal, ET, kidney. Simple cuboidal
epithelium is good for balancing secretion, absorption and
diffusion (not too thick, not too thin).
These cube-shaped cells are kidneys and some glands, but they
can be difficult to image as they line very small tubes (not large
lumens like other epithelia).
Look for tiny, circular lumens lined by the epithelium. There
will only be a small amount of connective tissue between the
densely packed tubes. Add the image to the box on the right and
label: simple cuboidal epithelial cell nucleus, lumen, basal
surface, apical surface. Use textboxes and arrows.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Photo 3. Epithelium, Simple Columnar & Exocrine Gland
Find the image Simple columnar, ET, small intestine. Simple
columnar epithelium is also good for secretion and absorption,
but it is more selective than simple cuboidal epithelium.
10. These cells have microvilli, tiny brushy extensions that are
immobile (not cilia). They increase surface area for more
absorption. There are also large, lightly stained goblet cells,
single-celled exocrine glands that secrete mucus to protect the
lining of the small intestine.
Add the image to the box on the right and label: simple
columnar epithelial cell, connective tissue, lumen, goblet cell.
Use textboxes and arrows.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Photo 4. Epithelium, Pseudostratified Columnar (ciliated)
Find the image Pseudostratified columnar, ET, trachea.
This tissue appears stratified because the nuclei are at different
levels, but every epithelial cell touches the basal side.
Add the image to the box on the right and label:
pseudostratified epithelial cell, connective tissue, cilia. Use
textboxes and arrows.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Photo 5. Epithelium, Simple
Squamous
Find the image Simple squamous, ET, kidney.
It’s difficult to find a cross-section of simple squamous
epithelium as all you see is a slice of a very thin cell.
Add the image to the box on the right and label: simple
squamous cell. Use a textbox and arrow.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Photo 6. Epithelium, transitional
Transitional epithelium is a stratified epithelium. The
11. multilayers of rounded cells are good at both protecting and
stretching, which makes it perfect for the urinary system (i.e.
urinary bladder).
Find the image Transitional, ET, urinary bladder, distended.
Add the image to the box on the right and label: lumen,
transitional epithelial cell, connective tissue. Use textboxes and
arrows.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Photo 7. Connective Tissue, Areolar
You have already seen plenty of (loose) areolar connective
tissue. Almost every epithelium is supported by this tissue
(deep to the basement membrane).
The image for Areolar, CT, unknown is a “spread”, the tissue
has been squished and stained so you can see what’s there.
Remember most of the tissue is fluid (ground substance). Add
the image to the box at the right and label: a fiber (collagen),
and a fibroblast. Use textboxes and arrows.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Photo 8. Connective Tissue, Reticular
Reticular connective tissue is rare, it’s only found in a few
organs and glands. It’s simply a few fibers (reticular) that
provide anchoring spots for cells (often leukocytes, immune
system cells). There’s plenty of space for fluid to move through
so the immune cells can check for antigens.
Find the image Reticular, CT, lymph node, and add it to the box
at right. Label the following: a reticular fiber and a fibroblast.
Use textboxes and arrows.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
12. Photo 9. Connective Tissue, Adipose
Adipose connective tissue is very easy to identify. Almost all
the cell contents have been washed away (most fats are removed
during the slide preparation process) so all you can find is the
cell membrane and maybe a few nuclei.
Find the image, Adipose Tissue, CT, unknown, and add it to the
box at right. Label: adipocyte plasma membrane and adipocyte
nucleus. Use textboxes and arrows.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Photo 10. Connective Tissue, Dense
Dense regular connective tissue makes up tendons and
ligaments. It is ”dense” with collagen; there are very few
fibroblasts.
Notice the linear pattern of the extracellular matrix.
Insert the image, Dense Regular, CT, tendon, in the box at right.
Label: fibroblast. Use a textbox and arrow.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Photo 11. Connective Tissue, Elastic
Dense elastic connective tissue is ”dense” with elastic fibers. It
is only found in a few large arteries like the aorta and a few
other places. It doesn’t look much different from dense regular
connective tissue.
Find the image, Elastic, CT, ligamentum nuchae, and insert it
on the box at right.
This has wavy lines of elastic fibers, not as straight as the
collagen in dense regular connective tissue.
Label: fibroblast. Use a textbox and arrow.
Fun fact – the ligamentum nuchae is the band of elastic tissue
13. that keeps your head from bobbing around like a pig’s head will
while running. You have it, as do horses, so we run
majestically with a stable head.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Photo 12. Connective Tissue, Dense Irregular
Dense irregular connective tissue is common and widespread. It
is “dense” with collagen, but the collagen is arranged in a
random pattern.
It forms most of the thick dermis layer of skin (next lab) and
the periosteum (bone covering, in two labs).
Insert the image, Dense Irregular, CT, mitral valve, in the box
at right.
Label: fibroblast. Use a textbox and arrow.
Adapted from jtcc.edu
Photo 13. Connective Tissue, Hyaline Cartilage
Hyaline cartilage has a dense, glassy-textured extra-cellular
matrix. It has tiny openings called lacunae where you can find
the chondrocytes (cartilage cells).
Hyaline cartilage is found on the ends of bones and in the rings
that reinforce the trachea to prevent its collapse.
Find the image, Cartilage, hyaline, CT, trachea, and add it to
the box at right. Label: chondrocyte and extracellular matrix
(ground substance). Use textboxes and arrows.

Introduction
<Replace this section with an Introduction based on the Project
Management Plan assignment requirements.
· The Introduction provides a high-level overview of the project
and what is included in this Project Management Plan.
· This should include a high-level description of the project and
describe the projects deliverables and benefits.
Excessive detail is not necessary in this section as the other
sections of the project plan will include this information. This
section should provide a summarized framework of the project
and its purpose.>Project Management Approach
<Replace this section with an outline of the overall management
approach for the project.
· This section should describe, in general terms, the roles and
authority of project team members.
· It should also include which units within the organization or
outside the organization will provide resources (peopl e) for the
project and any resource constraints or limitations.
· If there are any decisions which must be made by specific
individuals—for example authorizing changes by the project
sponsor—this should also be stated here.
It should be written as an Executive Summary for the Project
15. Management Plan.>
Project Scope
<Replace this section with a detailed scope of the project.
· This detail should include what the project does and does not
include.
The more detail included in this section, the better the product.
This will help to clarify what is included in the project and help
to avoid any confusion from project team members and
stakeholders.>
Milestone List
<Replace this section with a summary list of milestones.
· Include an introductory paragraph in this section which
provides some insight to the major milestones.
· Milestones will include the major milestones from the earlier
IT Project Plan as well as the additional Milestones identified in

Schedule Baseline and Work Breakdown Structure
<Replace this section with the words: TO BE DETERMINED.
Normally you would replace this section by discussing the WBS
and Schedule baseline and how they will be used in managing
the project’s scope. The WBS provides the work packages to be
performed for the completion of the project. The schedule
baseline provides a reference point for managing project
progress as it pertains to schedule and timeline. Normally the
schedule baseline and work breakdown structure (WBS) would
be created in Microsoft Project.>
Change Management Plan
< Replace this section with the words: TO BE DETERMINED.
Normally you would replace this section by describing the
change control process. Ideally, this process will be some type
of organizational standard which is repeatable and done on most
or all projects when a change is necessary.
· Changes to any project must be carefully considered and the
impact of the change must be clear in order to make any type of
approval decisions. Many organizations have change control
boards (CCBs) which review proposed changes and either
approve or deny them. This is an effective way to provide
oversight and ensure adequate feedback and review of the
change is obtained.
· This section should also identify who has approval authority
for changes to the project, who submits the changes, how they
are tracked and monitored.
For complex or large projects, the Change Management Plan
17. may be included as an appendix to the Project Management Plan
or as a separate, stand-alone document. A detailed Change
Management Plan template is available at
ProjectManagementDocs.com.>
Communications Management Plan
<Replace this section by:
· defining the communication requirements for the project and
how information will be distributed to ensure project success.
You should give considerable thought to how you want to
manage communications on every project. By having a solid
communications management approach you’ll find that many
project management problems can be avoided. In this section
you should provide an overview of your communications
management approach. Generally, the Communications
Management Plan defines the following:
· Communication requirements based on roles
· What information will be communicated
· How the information will be communicated
· When will information be distributed
· Who does the communication
· Who receives the communication
· Communications conduct
For larger and more complex projects, the Communications
Management Plan may be included as an appendix or separate
document apart from the Project Management Plan. A detailed
Communications Management Plan template is available at

Cost Management Plan
< Replace this section with the words: TO BE DETERMINED.
Normally you would replace this section by defining how the
costs on a project will be managed throughout the project’s
lifecycle. It sets the format and standards by which the project
costs are measured, reported, and controlled. Working within
the cost management guidelines is imperative for all project
team members to ensure successful completion of the project.
These guidelines may include which level of the WBS cost
accounts will be created in and the establishment of acceptable
variances. The Cost Management Plan:
· Identifies who is responsible for managing costs
· Identifies who has the authority to approve changes to the
project or its budget
· How cost performance is quantitatively measured and reported
upon
· Report formats, frequency and to whom they are presented
For complex or large projects the Cost Management Plan may
be included as an appendix to the Project Management Plan or
as a separate, stand-alone document. A detailed Cost
Management Plan template is available at
ProjectManagementDocs.com.>
Procurement Management Plan
<Replace this section with the words: TO BE DETERMINED.
Normally you would replace this section by identifying the
necessary steps and responsibilities for procurement from the
beginning to the end of a project. The project manager must
ensure that the plan facilitates the successful completion of the
project and does not become an overwhelming task to manage.
The project manager will work with the project team,
contracts/purchasing department, and other key players to
20. manage the procurement activities.
For larger projects or projects with more complicated
procurement management requirements, you can include the
Procurement Management Plan as a separate document apart
from the Project Management Plan. A detailed Procurement
Management Plan is available at ProjectManagementDocs.com.>
Project Scope Management Plan
< Replace this section with the words: TO BE DETERMINED.
Normally, it is important that the approach to managing the
projects’ scope be clearly defined and documented in detail.
Failure to clearly establish and communicate project scope can
result in delays, unnecessary work, failure to achieve
deliverables, cost overruns, or other unintended consequences.
This section provides a summary of the Scope Management Plan
in which it addresses the following:
· Who has authority and responsibility for scope management
· How the scope is defined (i.e. Scope Statement, WBS, WBS
Dictionary, Statement of Work, etc.)
· How the scope is measured and verified (i.e. Quality
Checklists, Scope Baseline, Work Performance Measurements,
etc.)
· The scope change process (who initiates, who authorizes, etc.)
· Who is responsible for accepting the final project deliverable
and approves acceptance of project scope
A detailed Scope Management Plan available at
ProjectManagementDocs.com and can be included as an
appendix to the Project Management Plan for larger or more
complex projects.>
Schedule Management Plan
< Replace this section with the words: TO BE DETERMINED.
Normally you would replace this section by providing a general
framework for the approach which will be taken to create the
project schedule. Effective schedule management is necessary
for ensuring tasks are completed on time, resources are
21. allocated appropriately, and to help measure project
performance. This section should include discussion of the
scheduling tool/format, schedule milestones, and schedule
development roles and responsibilities.
Be sure to check out the detailed Schedule Management Plan
available at ProjectManagementDocs.com. The separate
Schedule Management Plan is suitable for larger projects or
projects where the schedule management is more formalized.>
Quality Management Plan
< Replace this section with the words: TO BE DETERMINED.
Normally you would replace this section by discussing how
quality management will be used to ensure that the deliverables
for the project meet a formally established standard of
acceptance. All project deliverables should be defined in order
to provide a foundation and understanding of the tasks at hand
and what work must be planned. Quality management is the
process by which the organization not only completes the work
but completes the work to an acceptable standard. Without a
thorough Quality Management Plan, work may be completed in
a substandard or unacceptable manner. This section should
include quality roles and responsibilities, quality control,
quality assurance, and quality monitoring.
For larger or more complex projects, the Quality Management
Plan may be included as an appendix or separate document. A
detailed Quality Management Plan is available for use at
ProjectManagementDocs.com.>
Risk Management Plan
< Replace this section with the words: TO BE DETERMINED.
Normally you would replace this section by providing a general
description for the approach taken to identify and manage the
risks associated with the project. It should be a short paragraph
or two summarizing the approach to risk management on this
project.
22. Since risk management is a science in itself, we have many risk

Normally you would replace this section by discussing how you
plan to staff the project. This section should include discussion
on matrixed or projectized organizational structure depending
on which is being used for this project. This section should also
23. include how resources will be procured and managed as well as
the key resources needed for the project.>
Resource Calendar
<Replace this section with the words: TO BE DETERMINED.
Normally you would replace this section by including a
Resource Calendar as part of your project plan. The resource
calendar identifies key resources needed for the project and the
times/durations they'll be needed. Some resources may be
needed for the entire length of the project while others may only
be required for a portion of the project. This information must
be agreed to by the Project Sponsor and Functional Managers
prior to beginning the project.>
