Develop your Action Plan on the Action Plan Signature Assignment template. Introduction In this section, refer to your approved EDD9951 Signature Assignment to provide a brief introduction to your EDD9953 Signature Assignment: Action Plan. Use the Preliminary Site Information, the Statement of the Problem, and your Approach to the Problem of Practice from your EDD9951 Signature Assignment to craft the introduction. (Maximum of 250 words) NOTE: The problem and project you describe must be the same one that was approved in your approved Signature Assignment in EDD9951. Action Plan Provide a paragraph (3–5 sentences) that introduces the sections of the Action Plan. The action plan comprises the following sections: • Purpose of the Project • Stakeholders and Participants • Description of the Applied Project • Implementation Plan • Guiding Questions • Data Collection Plan • Data Analysis Plan Purpose of the Project In this section, provide a statement of purpose. You may use the following formulation and add a few sentences of clarification if desired.

An introduction to project management: Learning the basics

Paul Di Gangi

Project Management

CPA Australia

Project management is about planning, controlling, and making decisions about projects. Projects have a definite beginning and end. Project management uses tools and techniques to manage the project so that it meets the requirements, is completed on time, within budget and to the required quality. With all projects, there will be the risk that something will not go according to plan. Examples of risk include: • delays in recruitment of suitable staff • computer breakdowns • major disruptions in community e.g funerals • lack of cooperation from other key stakeholders • weather, wet season, cyclones • poorly designed model of service delivery • inadequate funding.

infomalad

Find an example of a real project with a real project manager. The project can be from corporate, business, construction etc. Interview the project manager or one of the project leads. Write a two-page paper describing the project in terms of its scope, time and cost goals. Discuss what went right and wrong on the project. Also, discuss the role of the project manager and project sponsor. You will also discuss if the project was successful or unsuccessful. Search the internet for two interesting articles about software development life cycles or project management life cycle, including agile software development. Also, review the website ww w.aailealliance.ong. What do these sources say about project management? Summarize your findings in a one to two-page paper citing any references. Solution For this assignment, would like to discuss 1 project in details. This project we are going to discuss is from a corporate. Whenever the new partners in a particular geographical region signed up, the welcome kit was to be shipped. Partners signed up with the the multinational and the relevant details were passed to this third organization for preparing and shipping out the relevant welcome kits in that region. Multinational M <---------------->Regional Partners P M-------Backend Processing at Regional Company R----------------P The regional company R performed the backend fulfillment at a regional level to prepare & send out the welcome kit - some Software CDs for development, manuals, etc. Let us call this Organization R where the project was done. Scope: Scope of the project involved reading weekly files from M and creating new orders in the ERP system of R. Time: Time of the project implementation was 2 months. Cost: Cost of the project was 50K USD As the project was for a prestigious organization, it was important for regional company R, however its budget was low and it involved multiple stakeholders that played important role in the success/failure of the project. Time: Out of the 2 months, the user requirement and testing needed more time in this case, as this project could mean different things to the various stakeholders. As a project manager it was important to meet up with customer R and also to connect with customer\'s customer. Multinational M had certain assumptions about the project that were missed initially. There was a limited time to successfully launch the project. It helped getting approvals for the requirements in detail which involved data formats, expected delivery schedules, etc. The testing was key in this project as the input files were received from outside company R. The security protocols for file transfers need to be defined and tested. So there was administration team that had a role in this project. Even though there job was for half a day only, certain approvals were needed from the highest level and for the success of the project it was needed to initiate it well in advance. The 2 weeks were needed for requirements gat.
