During this unit, you will plan your work-based action research project. You should review the assessment criteria and scope your project to keep it focused and manageable. Use project planning tools to help with the initiation and planning phases. Consider S.M.A.R.T. or C.L.E.A.R. goal-setting methods and break larger goals into smaller, attainable ones. Be sure to cite sources and continue reviewing the literature to support your ideas.

Construction planning is the specific process a construction manager uses to lay out how they will manage and execute a construction project, from design to building completion.
This lecture helps to learn how different types of processes are managed while executing a software project. this is core responsibility and one the most technical and difficult task of project manager.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Unit 7: Planning a Work-based
Action Research Project
During this Unit you will document the planning for your Work-based project.
• Review the module Assessment Proforma to identify the areas you need
to consider.
• Ensure you set Project Goals and Scope your project to keep it focused and
manageable
• Use project planning tools where possible to help you. You can attach
outputs from these as Appendices to your assessment proforma.
• Continue reading the literature to ensure that you refer to evidence to
back up your ideas. Ensure you cite sources accurately in the references
section of the proforma.
3. Planning a Work-based
Action Research Project
Projects vary in size and complexity, but, no matter how large or small, all projects can be mapped
to the sequence below.
During the current module, your task is to engage with the first two phases: Initiate and Plan.
The next phases Execute and Close, will take place in your CET7036 Work-based Project module
4. Planning a Work-based
Action Research Project
Project Planning Tools
You may wish to use project planning tools to support the first phases : Initiate and Plan.
There is a selection of simple planning tools here:
https://www.projectsmart.co.uk/tools.php or you can choose to use/design your own.
5. Scoping your Action
Research Project
Scoping
• What range of activities needs to be done, and by when?
• Think about design, test, pilots, getting access to respondents, analysing, checking
out your interpretation, getting sign off .......
• Think about contingencies... What if... no one responds etc.
• What obstacles might get in the away?
• What might be the problems with data collection?
• Who are the key stakeholders in this project?
o Are they likely to be working to the same agenda, you are?
o Are their time-scales the same as yours?
• What about your own commitments, work, family etc.?
6. Planning a Work-based
Action Research Project
S.M.A.R.T. Goal-Setting:
You may already be familiar with this popular method of ensuring project goals are
thoroughly considered at the outset of the planning phase.
• Specific – To set specific goals, answer these questions: who, what, where, when,
which, and why.
• Measurable – Create criteria that you can use to measure the success of a goal.
• Attainable – Identify the most important goals and what it will take to achieve them
within budget, time and resource constraints.
• Realistic – You should be willing and able to work toward a particular goal.
• Timely – Create a timeframe to achieve the goal.
7. Planning a Work-based
Action Research Project
C.L.E.A.R. Goal-Setting: – A newer method for setting goals takes into consideration some
pragmatic aspects of project development - such as motivation and taking a flexible approach.
• Collaborative -Goals should encourage people (researchers, colleagues, stakeholders) to work
together collaboratively and in teams.
• Limited -Goals should be limited in both scope and duration.
• Emotional -Goals should make an emotional connection, tapping into participants' energy
and passion. Try to find ways that you can make an emotional connection with the outcomes.
If you believe in your own project then it will be much easier and more enjoyable to achieve
your goals
• Appreciable -Large goals should be broken down into smaller goals so they can be
accomplished more quickly and easily for long-term gain. This also ensures that your project is
not an 'all or nothing' event. If you only partially accomplish your goals, you still have scope to
analyse where the issues lay and how this experience can feed into future work.
• Refinable -Set goals with a steadfast objective, but as new situations or information arise,
give yourself permission to refine and modify them. Set your direction but prepare to be
flexible and respond to changing conditions.
