EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
The
National Parks, Rivers and Beaches Authority (NPRBA) is a statutory body
formally established in 2007 to protect and conserve nature and biodiversity.
Over
the years, the NPRBA has engaged in the execution of several conservation and
sustainable tourism-related projects with the intent to meet the demands of the
Authority's mandate. St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a multi-Island state,
highly vulnerable to adverse climate impacts (Gonsalves, 2017).
For
this reason, the NPRBA emphasizes the significance of introducing adaptation
strategies to improve sustainable management, conservation, and restoration to
protect local communities and coastal ecosystems to become more resilient to
face anticipated challenges.
At
the NPRBA, there is a high demand for improved project performance. An absence
of a formal project management framework hinders the implementation of critical
activities.
The
NPRBA recognizes the importance and the need to implement a change effort to
optimize and potentiate the quality of conservation projects.
To
appropriately manage the Rehabilitation and Ecosystem Adaptation at South Coast
project, it is necessary to incorporate a plan to ensure its successful
completion. Therefore, a comprehensive strategic plan that includes sound
project management knowledge, tools, and techniques to support successful
project delivery is required.
The
general objective was to develop a project management plan framed within the
Project Management Institute's standards to manage the implementation of the
"Rehabilitation and Ecosystem Adaptation at South Coast, St. Vincent and
the Grenadines project.
"
The specific objectives are: to develop an integration management plan to unify
and coordinate the processes and project management activities during the
project; to create a scope management plan to guide how project work will be
defined validated and controlled; to develop a schedule management plan to
ensure the timely completion of the project; to create a cost management plan
to manage cost throughout the projects' life cycle; to create a quality
management plan to manage the quality of the project deliverables in order to
meet stakeholders expectations; to develop a resource management plan to ensure
that all human and material resources are identified and managed effectively to
successfully complete the project, to design a communication management plan to
ensure that information generated is of the appropriate quality and breath and
that it reaches the various stakeholders at the proper time; to create a risk
management plan that identifies risk and risk responses to ensure successful
completion of the project; to develop a procurement management plan to guide to
acquisition of products, services and results required by the project; and finally
to create a stakeholder management plan to identify key stakeholder's and
analyze their impact on the project.
he
research methods used for the project were analytical, qualitative, and
quantitative. Data relevant to this research were collected using primary and
secondary sources. First-hand observation, interviews, and publications were
interpreted, analyzed, conceptualize, synthesize, and evaluated objectively.
The xiii PMBOK® Guide (2017) was the main publication used to enable the
elaboration of the subsidiary plans.
In conclusion, the Project Management Plan
developed for the "Rehabilitation and Ecosystem Adaptation at South Coast
Project" can positively affect the project team and the NPRBA. The Project
Management Plan is an opportunity to create awareness about the importance and
benefits of managing projects using formal documented plans.
All the required subsidiary plans were
realistically planned and well document. The Project Management Plan provides
valuable information for the project team to make informed decisions and
modifications necessary to manage and control cost, quality, and schedule. The
Resource Management Plan provides tools and techniques that help improve time
and resource usage. Stakeholder and Communications Management are two key
knowledge areas that are crucial for successfully engaging key stakeholders.
The
implementation of both plans can help develop the capacity of the project team
to build positive community relations and minimize conflict by ensuring that
the key stakeholders align with project goals.
The
Procurement Management Plan would increase the competency level of the NPRBA to
plan and execute procurement management processes more effectively.
The
application of the Risk Management Plan can significantly reduce negative
impacts and build a robust reputation as an organization that is known for
consistently delivering projects successfully.
It
is recommended that the Project team adopt the Project Management Plan for the
"Rehabilitation and Ecosystem Adaption at South Coast, St. Vincent and the
Grenadines project."
The
Project Manager should integrate regenerative practices in the Project Charter
and follow through in other areas such as the Procurement Plan. Also, refrain
from adding features not in scope unless suggested by the customer and ensure
that quality criteria are met.
The
Project Team should apply a combination of tools and techniques to execute the
project management plans effectively. These tools include fast-tracking,
schedule, compression, resource allocation and resource leveling, among others.
Furthermore, the Project Manager should practice proactive communication in
addressing stakeholders' needs and expectations.
The
Project Manager must proactively manage risks associated with the project.
Adherence to monitoring and control budget, schedule, quality, and scope is
essential for good management.
