1. ITP-6 - Consolidated Project Management Plan(PMBOK 2, 3.5-
3.7, 9)Addresses Course Outcomes #4d, 1a, and 6f
Please be sure to read the Team Contribution Assessment and
Grading of Team Assignments and the Project Documentation
Requirements sections of this ITP Master Document.
Assignment for the ITP-6 Project Deliverable
Review your previous deliverables assignments and the
assignments from the other teams in the Shared Learning
Environment Discussions.
Prepare a consolidated Project Management Plan / Proposal
(PMP) that consolidates and summarizes each of the ITP
deliverables.
The final deliverable assignment posting should only
include the project plan, the presentation and the MS Project
(.mpp) file:
1. An updated MS Project (.mpp) with schedule, durations,
dependencies, resources, and costs.
· The Consolidated Project Plan includes a full MS Project
(.mpp file with the WBS with inputs that have resulted from the
weekly ITP assignments. The MS Project (.mpp) file should be
updated based on lessons learned, instructor's comments,
improvements resulting from sharing and looking at the work of
other teams.
2. A complete, consolidated project plan document (in a
format/structure from the textbook, from www.pmi.org, or from
other valid research) including all relevant project information
and all information from previous ITP deliverable documents.
· All project information must be included within the Word
document. All of the ITP assignments from this semester should
be updated and improved based on learning through the
semester. You may use any number of features to include the
updated assignments, including Appendices or embedded

2. documents, among several other possibilities, but all
appendices/documents should reflect the changes you’ve
experienced through the semester. Please note that the full
documents should not be part of the main body of the Project
Plan. They are supporting documents only. For example, one
embedded or appendix should be an updated Excel spreadsheet
Risk Register for all major tasks and at least 2 sub-tasks and 2
sub-sub tasks. Another appendix should be an updated and
expanded version of your project charter that summarizes the
project, given what you know now. (For instance, as but one
example, any changes in project schedule, costs, and scope
since the original draft of the charter should now be reflected in
the updated charter.)
· The Consolidated Project Plan consolidates, discusses and
summarizes each of the ITP deliverables. The consolidated
plan, with the exception of the MS Project (.mpp) file, must
summarize each of the ITP documents (schedule, major
resources, major risks, cost, etc.) in the text of the
document. The final consolidated plan should discuss what the
project is, what is required to meet the needs of the Dental
Clinic, how information was gathered and presented, and
information that will help the company and the client or
executive sponsor). Documents to support the SUMMARY
should be added as Appendices – either in full or embedded
(preferable).
· The Plan and documents should reflect improvements through
the semester from the instructor's comments, sharing the
projects of the other teams, additional text readings and
additional research, and other lessons learned.
· The Consolidated Project Plan must include at least a
paragraph that describes which project documents/assignments
were changed, updated and/or improved, how, and why. If, for
example, the team made changes to the Resources, the team
might indicated that they saw another team that included a

3. resource that had not been considered yet. This paragraph (or
more) is mandatory!
· The consolidated plan should include references used (with
appropriate citations) to gather the information.
· Some sections to consider for inclusion in the Consolidated
Project Plan are:
· A title page
· The executive summary (with appropriate changes) of the
project proposal and plan.
· The scope, cost and schedule (early in the document!)
· Business requirements for the project and system, and reason
for undertaking the project (problem statement) should be
included.
· Clear and complete scope statement should be included.
· Objectives, constraints, and assumptions should be included.
· Participants (project team AND stakeholders) along with their
roles should be listed.
· Project background should be provided.
· Technical and PM approach/strategy should be described.
· Benefits and value to the client (note: this does not mean costs
or budget) should be detailed.
· Rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate of costs and
required project budget should be included based on your own
cost estimate.
· ROM estimate of total time required to complete the project
and project completion date should be included based on your
Project schedule.
· A summary-level Gantt chart with a few major bars might be a
useful, though optional, addition. However, do not include a
copy of a full MS Project Gantt chart that is so detailed that it is
unreadable.
· A conclusion paragraph should be included, briefly
summarizing the project and requesting approval to proceed
with the project.

4. As an example, PMI recommends the following sections in a
project management plan:
· Purpose/background/approach
· Goals/objectives
· Scope
· Deliverables
· Constraints/assumptions
· Related projects/critical dependencies
· Schedule and milestones
· Budget/cost-benefit assessment
· Risk assessment
· WBS
· Quality management approach
· Tools and techniques to be used
· Resource estimates
· Standards
· Change and control procedures
· Roles/responsibilities
· Work plan
· Team contact directory
· Approval sign-off form
There are several other good templates and formats available.
Please be sure to credit the source of your Project Plan structure
of format.
3. A Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (approx. 8-10 slides)
that provides a high-level executive-level summary of your
project proposal for the major stakeholder(s) (client and/or
executive sponsor). The slides should be prepared and
formatted as though they will be presented face-to-face in a
Conference room with a projector.
· The presentation should open with a discussion of scope, cost,
and schedule.
· This presentation will be a decision presentation, not merely
an information presentation. The PowerPoint slides should
NOT be overly full of text.

5. · Length should be appropriate to purpose and audience (approx.
8-10 slides).
· The slides should not be too full of text or bullets, and should
use large enough text for readability
· Note: Please do not use timed automatic slide transitions for
this presentation.
· You may organize and format your presentation in any way
that seems most effective and appropriate to the purpose.
· Graphics may be used but should be meaningful, useful, and
not distracting or gratuitous.
· The consolidated project plan document and project plan
presentation should include:
· Enough detail should be provided to allow the stakeholder(s)
to make a go/no-go decision on whether or not the proposal is
acceptable to begin implementing the project plan, designing
and installing the IT project.
· MAKE A RECOMMENDATION!
o A title page or cover sheet that includes the
contributors. This should not be a stand-alone file but should
simply be the first page of another Word document (e.g., the
Charter) that you are submitting.
· Make sure that all your documents are consistent and don't
contradict each other. (For instance, the schedule and costs as
presented in the MS PowerPoint [.ppt], the MS Project [.mpp],
and charter and sections of the Consolidated Plan should agree;
the narrative in the Plan and the MS PowerPoint [.ppt] should
agree with each other; and so forth.)
· Also make sure that any problems with previous ITP
deliverables have been corrected before incorporating them in
your ITP-6 work, and make sure that any comments from the
instructor regarding previous ITP deliverables have been
corrected and updated. PLEASE include a paragraph that
discusses what has been changed and updated (previous
assignments that are now part of the project plan), what changed
and why. This may be the final paragraph or a discussion

6. included as an appendix, but I’d like to see what is different
from when you did the original assignment during the semester.
· Please post the THREE final ITP documents (.mpp, .ppt, .doc)
in the Assignment Area and in the Shared Learning
Environment Discussion Forum
· To summarize: The plan should be in the structure of a project
management plan that you should find from a credible source
through your research. PMI, for example, is a credible source.
Your plan should include updated documents/assignments, as
embedded files, appendices, or any other method that works
well for you and your team. Please include a discussion of what
has been updated and why, even thought is not a normal part of
a Project Management Plan. This might include what you've
learned through additional readings and sources, what you've
learned from sharing and looking at the other teams' efforts, and
what you've changed as a result of my feedback and comments.
This helps me focus in on the improvements you've made over
the semester. The final assignment includes a PowerPoint
presentation that leads the client to a go-no go decision. It
should be a high level presentation - much like an executive
summary - that addresses the problem, the solution, the scope,
schedule and cost and other information your team thinks is
relevant to making the decision to proceed. And, please don't
forget to update the MS Project (.mpp) file. So you'll post
THREE documents only.
Grading approximate breakdown by areas include:
· General: Structure, Format, Mechanics, Style (~4%)
· Updated and Complete MS Project (.mpp) Schedule (~19%)
· Project Resources and Costs (~15%)
· Risk register (~20%)
· ITP-6 Proposal Plan Presentation PPT (~40%)
· Updated project charter (~3%)

Executive Summary
This WBS is a detailed plan covering the analysis, planning,
installation, operation, and maintenance of the information
technology (IT) infrastructure for Dr. Bob Marley’s dental
practice. This WBS will be tracked through the completion of
major milestones. This documentation also includes a schedule

14. that gives a timeline of work to be done each week and for
every task within the project scope. A full understanding of the
project’s cost and performance measures by the project team
and the client are quintessential, and clarification will be
provided when necessary. The planned schedule and milestones
are provided within. The WBS will convert many complex
requirements into smaller, more manageable pieces for accurate
project estimation, planning and execution.
ITP-3 Questions - WBS Dependencies
1. Did your team discuss and/or divide up the major tasks
before completing the individual WBSes?
The team did discuss the major tasks. This was done so as to get
an understanding as to the subtasks that are be undertaken
within the major tasks. It is always important to do the divisions
to avoid cases of jammed up activities. The individual WBSes
are important to the progress of the entire project as it does
ensure that the sequential progress of the entire project. The
subtasks are therefore a continuation of the work to be carried
out. The WBS provides a structural view into the project and it
is essential to develop the project schedule
(ProjectManagementDocs.com, 2015).
2. How did your team “merge” the WBSes of individual
teammates?
In order to merge the various WBSes of the individuals within
the team, it was important to first of all check through the
various tasks that each individual has presented. In so doing,
the team identify the ground level tasks that moved throughout
the entire project. After this was done, the team reviewed the
tasks to ensure that they had all the tasks necessary for the
purposes of completion of the project. The team did ensure that
the tasks within the projects were in line with the needs of the

15. client.
3. Were some teammates’ WBSes more thorough or complete
than others?
Yes. This did happen. Some of the teammates’ WBSes were
more thorough and received better scores as they did include
more tasks. They did have a better grasp and detailing as to
what the project entails. They had a deeper grasp as to the needs
of the client. These ranged from the time allocated to each and
every task. This narrows down to how fast the tasks are to be
completed and on how the dependencies were espoused.
4. What was the most difficult part of this assignment?
The most difficult part of the entire assignment is on finding the
right way of linking the various tasks. This is made difficult due
to the fact that most of the subtasks could be done concurrently
within the same structure. Another difficulty in creating an MS
project WBS lies in coming up with the various tasks and
making proper estimations on durations, however, the WBS has
enormous strength and influence to convert complex
requirements/scope into smaller pieces for project estimation,
planning and execution (Murthy, 2014).
5. Did every teammate contribute to this WBS effort?
Each and every team member did contribute to the overall
creation of this project. This was done in various ways. Firstly,
the team members did agree within themselves to ensure that
they all had a sketch of what the project requires. The team
members all created individual WBSes and were greatly
involved in sieving through them so as to get the final WBS.
6. Is your team still following the day-to-day schedule provided
in the TPP-1?
Yes, the team is still following the schedule. The schedule does

16. enable the team to follow through on our process plan and keep
up with the many tasks from week to week. The schedule also
ensures that all tasks are completed.

Questions
1. All aspects of the WBS were included as outlined within the
charter. This is in line with the promised deliverables for the
said client. It is important to highlight that most of the
deliverables revolve around the success of the IT system and in
that respect, the outlines of the WBS are well in line with the
deliverables. Most of the tasks in the WBS were not within the
charter. These include aspects such as auditing protocol and the
various determinations of hardware installations. The need for
this is so as to ensure the scope is well outlined rather than

17. leave project planning gaps.
2. The WBS does include various tasks that are important in
addressing various management options. These include how to
control, evaluate and manage the project as well as the project
team. These help in ensuring that the project manager can have
control as to the progress of the project and be in a position to
analyse the various positions of the team members such as their
moods.
3. A top-down approach usually does involve the formulation of
the overview of the project. After this, the system is broken
down to smaller categories which are to be followed to the letter
until the completion of the particular project. A bottom-up
approach involves the converse of the above. It does involve the
knitting together of various components of a project in order to
give the final and in most cases the complex version of the
required result. The project in this particular exercise can be
said to employ the use of the bottom-up approach as it involves
the bringing together of design, installation, management,
testing so as to ensure that the required IT system is completed.
4. Product-oriented WBS is basically one that is deliverable
oriented. This can be seen in the case of the exercise herein as
the WBS outlines what is to be done and thus has an inclination
towards reaching particular objectives. A process-oriented WBS
is modelled towards working on the various processes and
subsequently outlining them in order to achieve the various
deliverables of the project team.
5. I basically outlined the entire WBS on the MS Project and
this remains the easiest way to input the tasks. It does allow for
a direct establishment of the Gantt charts as well as making it
absolutely easy to establish the project start date and task
durations. I did not experience any challenges and thus did not
have to rearrange the various tasks.

18. 6. The approach was tabular; this makes it very easy to easily
point out the tasks sequence. It is possible to have a WBS with
all the tasks arranged in the form of an organisational chart. In
this particular case, there is a hindrance. This hindrance arises
from the lack in deliverables hence making it difficult to have a
chart that will show all the task relationships.
7. I did work on my own in coming up with most of the major
tasks. This was not a walk in the park by was hugely guided by
knowledge in various IT systems as well as the outline of tasks
to work around with that were provided in the instructions.
Executive Summary
This document was created to provide the preliminary
delegation of roles and responsibilities of the project, define the
project objectives, identify the key stakeholders, and outlines
the authority of the project manager. This project charter will
serve as the reference of powers for the Marley Dental Clinic IT
Project. The dental clinic information system project will be
managed by following the outlined project milestone chart that
starts with feasibility studies through maintenance and ends
with project manager delivering the system when the
requirements of the project have met, and the Marley Dental
Clinic is equipped to operate the system. A useful dental
information system should be scalable and meet the legal
requirements to capture, store, and access electronic medical
records. This system will include an online virtual waiting
room, be able to process and keep a record of cash and credit
payments both in person and online, allow for electronic
appointment scheduling, and help manage the daily operations
of the clinic in an organized, useful way. The online patient
portal will be easy to navigate and offer pages of informative

19. content, have the home page and informative page that is linked
to social media to post information and get feedback from the
patients.
Finance: The budget and the costs that the small dental clinic
has allotted to be used in the development of the system. This
will be used by the project team to procure the hardware,
software, and licensing required to successfully operate the
system to be implemented.
Feasibility Study: The feasibility study will be conducted to
establish the different data that is required and what kind of
information is to be generated from the data. Looking for dental
procedures x-rays, etc. This also includes registration of
patients, booking of appointments, and procedures that the
patients want to receive in the dental clinic.
System Designing: The step involves designing a system.
Creating a database for the system. Identifying the data that is
added to the system. Creating a web based application using
HTML and XML. The system should incorporate online
payment portals like Visa, PayPal, and MasterCard and other
online payment solutions.
Hardware requirements: This includes devices like the desktop
and laptops and templates that will be used in accessing the
system to input data and process information. An internet
connection is required because the system is cloud based. The
server or hosting service for which the system will be used
needs to be identified. The server has to be secure and always
available to ensure smooth accessibility. Networking cable or
Wireless Network Devices like the Wi-Fi and Cables need to be
put in place for the laptops in offices that are away from the
router.
User Training: The user training will be done after the system is
fully installed. The training for the users will be for the general

20. training like login in and login out, how to schedule and manage
appointments, and how to input patient payments. The training
will take place based on the duties that the general users at the
small clinic need to perform as well as the specialized duties of
the hygienists and dentists. For system administrators, they will
be trained to run business reports, supplier reports, and
maintain user accounts and permissions within the information
system.
