EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SJP Consultants is an organization focused on Architectural and Engineering designwork for the past ten (10) years. Recently, a decisión was made by the director to incorporate a Project Management Office (PMO) within the organization to manage the construction on the various design projects undertaken.
The governance framework for the PMO is currently under construction. In an effort to assist with community development projects in Saint Lucia, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) in collaboration with the Saint Lucia Social Development Fund (SSDF) sponsored the expansión of the Guesneau Health Facility and engaged the design and management services of SJP Consultants.
Due to the recent incorporation of the PMO at SJP Consultants, no governance framework or Project Management (PM) guidelines had been established to proceed with the management of the Guesneau Health Facility expansion.
As a result, a PM plan was created to guide the project team in the construction of the facility and in facilitating the successful delivery of the project. Hence, the main objective of this PM plan was to create a detailed guide to assist the SJP Consultant project team in successfully managing the execution and delivery of the Guesneau Health Facility Expansion.
The specific objectives for the PM plan were to define a project charter to formally authorize the project and provide relevant details about the project; develop a scope management plan to define the work involved in the delivery of the project; develop a plan for cost management to ensure that the defined scope remains within budget; develop a plan for schedule management to ensure that a realistic time frame is identified and followed to ensure the timely delivery of the project; develop a quality management plan to define quality standards for the delivery of the project; develop a resource management plan to determine the relevant personnel involved in each aspect of the delivery; develop a communications
management plan that details the methods of communication conducted during the project; develop a risk management plan that identifies risks involved in the project and mitigation measures for dealing with those risks; develop a procurement management plan that identifies procedures to be utilized for obtaining resources for project execution; develop a stakeholder management plan that identifies stakeholders and their relevance and power with the associated project.
The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) was used as the basis for developing the PM plan. There are ten (10) knowledge áreas and forty nine (49) corresponding processes identified in the PMBOK. These knowledge áreas are the core technical frameworks required for effective PM planning and correspond to the specific objectives identified above.
Data was collected for the development of the project management plan by analysing historical data and reports from previously completed projects, conducting brainstorming sessions within the project team to obtain solutions to problems and conducting interviews with ten (10) experts, one for each of the knowledge áreas to provide advice on the best way forward.
The results analysis encompasses a detailed breakdown of each knowledge área and its processes, providing information on output data and guidelines for proceeding with the physical execution of the project. Each knowledge area was developed in detail, providing the project team with a guide on each aspect of the project as it relates to the expansion of the Guesneau Health Facility in accordance with the Project Management Institute guidelines; Providing information on data gathered in project planning and outlining procedures and guidelines for project execution.
The intent of the outputted results analysis is to ensure that the lack of proper project management identified throughout the island is not repeated during the execution of the Guesneau Health Facility.
It is recommended that the project team utilizes all the information, tools andguidelines specified within the PM plan to achieve the desired outcome. The team must remain within project scope to ensure that time and cost parameters are maintained throughout execution.
Simultaneously, quality standards must be met in accordance with the quality criteria set out by the project team. Stakeholder awareness, communication and resource management are vitally important in maintaining order and achieving the desired outcome of the project.
Adherence to the ten (10) knowledge areas identified in the PMBOK and elaborated on in the PM plan ensures the successful execution and delivery of the project.
