EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (ABSTRACT)
Align Technology is a company, like many other companies, that is constantly changing. At Align Technology, the Invisalign Pro Clinical Department is made of a group of Doctors of Dental Science; also known as Clinical Advisors, whose main goal is to educate their clients from the United States and Canada.
Continuing education is required for the Invisalign Pro Department workers to stay on top of industry trends with the latest developments, skills, and new technologies required for their fields. Overall, continuing education is considered a way for professionals to keep abreast of their fields so they don’t lag behind.
Currently there are several platforms where the Clinical Advisors can have access to information, such as books, articles, podcast, videos, webinars, among others in order for them to pursue their continuing education. The Clinical Advisors access those platforms during their spare time, and in some occasions, they go to those platforms during the training they are giving to our clients. Finding the right information is time consuming, specially, when they have to run from platform to platform.
The purpose of performing this Project Management Plan was to create a virtual library, for the Invisalign Pro Clinical Advisors, where they can have access to all the resources in one single platform. Thus, eliminating the time consuming issue they were facing.
The specific objectives were to create a project charter to get approval to start the project, thus, procuring the Project Manager with the authorization to produce the project management plan. To create a scope management plan to ensure it includes all the work required in order to successfully complete the project. To create a time management tool to support the development and management of a project schedule enabling the completion of the project within the time constraints. To create a cost management plan to define the processes for developing and managing the project budget to ensure the project is completed within the budget constraints. To develop a quality management plan to identify the quality requirements for the project in order to ensure the results meet expectations for approval within the time, cost and, scope constraints. To create a resource management plan to ensure that all resources are identifiable, and managed effectively to complete the project within the time, cost and scope constraints. To develop a communication management plan to ensure timely and effective communication of the project status and other key information. To create a risk management plan to identify and examine risks for the successful completion of the project, and to develop plans to minimize the likelihood of the risks. To develop a stakeholder management plan to identify and support all the project stakeholders to ensure effective stakeholder engagement.
The methodology used for the research was analytical. The main sources used to gather information included A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) Sixth Edition, interviews and meeting minutes perform within the organization and stakeholders. The analysis of the information created each subcomponent of the subsidiary plans used to develop the Project Management Plan for the creation of the virtual library.
The Project Management Plan was developed using the PMBOK Guide sixth Edition, this provided a new methodology for the project team to build a more thorough project management plan for any future projects helping improve the way the Invisalign Pro department would manage the projects. It is recommended that the project team consider the use of the planning process and documents developed during the development of the Project Management Plan for the creation of the Virtual Library as a basis for implementing a methodology for projects in the future. Furthermore, it is necessary for the Invisalign Pro department to implement a specific number of changes allow in the projects.
