PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SUSTAINABLE PLANT NIGHT EVENTS PROJECT IN SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (ABSTRACT)

Project management planning plays an essential role in helping guide sponsors, stakeholders, team members, and the project manager through other project phases. 

Felmar Compañía EIRL is an individual limited liability company, created in 2018 with the purpose of providing an extra source of income for the project sponsor, through project execution. 

With the Plant Night Events Project, the company seeks to create community through social gatherings in a setting for people with similar interests. 

In alliance with local businesses, the events will offer a venue to socialize and to exercise artistic creativity by assembling potted plants and terrariums. 

The events will integrate environmental issues into planning in order to have a minimal adverse environmental impact.

Since the company’s creation, there have been five different project initiatives that have failed to deliver the agreed upon service or product. Due to these past failures, it is important to produce a project management tool that will allow the project to have clear focus and objectives and a sustainable event management approach.

The purpose of this final graduation project (FGP) is to develop a project management plan that will define the basis for the Plant Night Events project execution through sustainable event management.

The general objective is to develop a project management plan, according to thestandards of the Project Management Institute, to manage the Plant Night Events Project through sustainable event planning. 

The specific objectives are to create a project charter to formally authorize the existence of the project and provide the project manager with the authority to apply resources to project activities; to develop a scope management plan to ensure that the project includes all of the work required, and only the work required, to successfully complete the project; to develop a schedule management plan to manage the timely completion of the project; to create a cost management plan to ensure that the project is completed within the approved budget; to create a quality management plan to identify the quality requirements for the project in order to ensure that these requirements are met in the project deliverables and work processes; to develop a resource management plan to identify, acquire, and manage the resources needed for the successful completion of the project; to create a risk management plan to identify, analyze, respond, and monitor risks on the project to increase the probability and/or impact of opportunities and decrease the probability and/or impact of risks, in order to optimize the chancesof project success; to create a procurement management plan to identify the processes necessary to purchase or acquire products, services, or results needed from outside the project team that cause minimal adverse environmental impacts, necessary for the successful completion of the project; to develop a communication management plan to ensure that the information needs of the project and its stakeholders are met; and to create a stakeholder management plan to identify, analyze, and manage stakeholder expectations and impact on the project.

The methodology for this project was analytical. Key data were analyzed in order to make a critical evaluation of the available material, and the best strategies were identified for the creation of the project management plan.

The project management plan, developed using the PMBOK ® Guide 6 th Edition, provided the project team with a methodology to develop a more thorough plan for the project than the usual informal planning applied by Melfar. It allowed the team to apply several tools that proved to be very useful for the different PMP processes described in this plan, such as the stakeholder analysis, the WBS, and the risk register. 

This PMP generates an extra value for Melfar, as it is recommended that i be used as the basis for constructing a template for future projects, tailored to theirunique and specific needs. In case that the current global situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic should not allow the project to be performed by the established deadline, then it is recommended that Melfar and the project team review the alternatives listed in the risk register, such as offering the event online.
