3 PROJECT SUBSIDIARY PLANS (each plan should be clarified by following the processes/steps of project management, 9 marks for each section)

This section is where you can give a quick introduction regarding what plans are included in the subsidiary plans to fit to your project.

3.1 SCOPE MANAGEMENT PLAN

It is important that the approach to managing the projects scope be clearly defined and documented in detail. This section provides a summary of the Scope Management Plan in which it addresses the following:

The six processes of scope management

• process one and two - Who has authority and responsibility for scope management, how have the requests been collected?
• process three and four - How the scope is defined (i.e. Scope Statement, WBS, WBS Dictionary, etc.).

definition

WBS

• process five - How the scope is measured and verified (i.e. Quality Checklists, Scope Baseline, Work Performance Measurements, etc.)
• process six - The scope change process (who initiates, who authorizes, etc.) and Who is responsible for accepting the final project deliverable and approves acceptance of project scope

3.2 COST MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Cost Management Plan clearly defines how the costs on a project will be managed throughout the projects lifecycle. It sets the format and standards by which the project costs are measured, reported and controlled. The detailed of cost management plan needs to include a much more detailed cost management procedure and process of cost establishment, checking and controlling magnesium than the baselines. The Cost Management Plan:

• Process one plan cost management:

• Cost Responsibility: Identify the roles and responsibilities of team members for cost management, including the project manager, cost engineer and others.
• Unit of measurement
• Level of precision
• level of accuracy
  • Process two - Cost Estimating: Describe the methodologies and techniques used for cost estimating, including the use of historical data, expert judgment, and other techniques.
  • Process three Budgeting: Outline the processes of budgeting
  • Process four - Cost Control:
• Outline the process for monitoring the project budget
• Discuss how variances will be identified, analysed and reported -
  • How cost performance is quantitatively measured and reported upon - EVM
  • Identifies who has the authority to approve changes to the project or its budget
• Report formats, frequency and to whom they are presented
  
  

3.3 PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Procurement Management Plan should be defined enough to clearly identify the necessary steps and responsibilities for procurement from the beginning to the end of a project.

• Discuss the 10 steps in the procurement Policy Framework

3.4 SCHECULE MANAGEMENT PLAN

This section provides a general framework for the approach which will be taken to create the project schedule. This includes the scheduling tool/format, schedule milestones, and schedule development roles and responsibilities.

• Identify the list of Schedule Management processes, activities, and tasks that will be defined and implemented to establish and manage the project schedule the six processes and relevant activities
• Describe the tools and procedures used to develop, monitor and control the project schedule throughout the project lifecycle.
  • schedule method
  • scheduling tool choose that support the selected method
• Define the units of measure used for each project resource.

How accuracy that is allowed in your scheduling and how are you going to measure progress? Tips: Do you want your estimates to be plus or minus 50%?25% or even 10%?Depending on project size,are you going to measure work effortin hours, days or weeks?Examples include staff hours and staff days.

• Schedule monitoring and control
  • Describe how the schedule is monitored and compared against the schedule baseline

The Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide focuses on Earned Value Management (EVM) for measuring and monitoring schedule.

Basic measurements such as Schedule Variance (SV) and Schedule Performance Index (SPI) should be tracked and reported. These are the most typical performance measures and should be captured and tracked.

- how often the schedule will be updated anD reported to project manager

• Describe the control thresholds.

Specify and describe the agreed-upon variance threshold that is allowed in the project schedule before some action is necessary. Thresholds are typically expressed in percentages against the baseline.

3.5 BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Discuss BIM implementation in one of the below topics

• BIM for cost management
• BIM for schedule management
• BIM for communication management
• BIM for safety management
• BIM for scope management
• BIM for site planning
• BIM for sustainability analysis
• BIM for risk management

Should include:

• BIM definition
• Explain how BIM can be used for assisting on the specific construction project management topic - the technology, implementation, benefits and limitations
• Introduce one commercial software in the market on this specific application

3.6 RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN

Look for the detailed Risk Management Plan, Risk Register along with templates for performing a risk assessment meeting. The processes of risk management.

• Process 1: identify risks
  • What are the specific approaches, tools, and data sources that will be used to perform risk management? Identify potential risks that may impact the project. This can be done by reviewing historical data, consulting with subject matter experts, and brainstorming with the project team.
• Process 2: risk analysis
• How do you prioritise risks of your project? Once the risks have been identified, analyze their probability of occurrence and potential impact on the project. Use a risk matrix to classify risks based on their likelihood and impact.
• Risk Categories (risk register)
• Process 3: risk responses Develop a plan for how to respond to each risk. This can include mitigation strategies to reduce the likelihood or impact of the risk, contingency plans to address the risk if it occurs, or acceptance of the risk if it is deemed acceptable.
• Roles and responsibility. Who are the teams/individuals responsible for the risk management?

3.7 QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN

Discuss the process you'll use to ensure that the quality of the products from this project meet the requirements.

Quality plan

Quality assurance methods/tools

Quality control methods/tools

3.8 COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT PLAN

The purpose of the Communications Management Plan is to define the communication requirements for the project and how information will be distributed. 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

You should give considerable thought to how you want to manage communications on this project. By having a solid communications management approach youll find that many project management problems can be avoided. In this section give an overview of your communications management approach.

3.9 STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT PLAN

• The Stakeholder Management Plan should be defined enough to clearlyidentify the responsibility, accountability and involvement of each stakeholder.
• It should alsoidentify the influence of stakeholdersfrom project level as well as milestone levels.
• The necessary engagement and management approaches should be designed to communicate and work with different stakeholders.
• For larger projects or projects with more complicated stakeholders involvements, stakeholder engagement strategic plan should be in place.

3.10 HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN

• Discuss theprocess you'll use to ensure that the resource availability, resource allocation, resource management and performance report regarding human resource management of this project meet the requirements steps of HR management
• Discuss howyouplan tostaff theproject.Doesyourorganizationhaveamatrixed managementstructure?Ifso,thenyou'llneedtodiscusshowresourceswillbeprocuredand managed.Alsoincludethekeyresourcesneededfortheproject organizational structure
