Project Management Proposal Report
Task
Your task is to prepare a detailed project management proposal (bid) for the construction of a residential house given the details described in the Task Information & Specifications and the drawings provided below (Pages 6 - 9).
As a group, you will work in teams of from two (2) to six (6) students to develop the following deliverables:
a. Final Report (detailed project management proposal report/bid).
b. Six Interim Deliverables
The deliverables are:
Stakeholder Management Strategy
The Stakeholder Management Strategy should include a Stakeholder Register, Stakeholder Prioritisation Grid showing +ve and -ve influences and a Stakeholder Communication Plan.
Scope Statement and WBS
The scope statement should include but is not limited to the following: Project Objectives, goals, needs, Assumptions, Deliverables, Milestones, limits, exclusions etc.
The work breakdown structure deliverable should include a hierarchical diagram representing the activities needed to complete the project and a WBS dictionary.
Network Diagram
This deliverable should include a table listing the activities of the project (generated from the WBS deliverable), the predecessor(s) of each activity and the duration of each activity. The deliverable should also include a Precedence diagram showing the critical path as well as a Gantt chart of the activities.
Risk Register and Risk Treatment Plan
In this deliverable the group should prepare a risk register and a risk treatment plan. The scales and severity matrix to be used for determining the severity of each risk will be provided in the class slides of the risk lecture.
Histograms of one human & one non-human resource
Prepare a list of the resources needed to complete the project both human and non-human resources. Choose one type of human resources and one type of non-human resources and prepare a resource histogram for it. Level the resource usage for the resources that you choose.
Cost of project
Prepare a detailed breakdown of the project cost, cumulative cost curve (S-curve of the project). For your project estimates, you may use the Rawlinsons Construction Handbook, Rawlinsons Construction Cost Guide Handbook, the Cordell Building Cost Guide, and/or other appropriate brand prices as mentioned in the attached specifications. Your reference must be cited in a table (see partial example below) as well as detailed in a reference list. Note: the Rawlinsons and Cordell handbooks are available as physical books in the UTS library. Rawlinsons may be available as an e-book from the UTS library.
Report
You are expected to base your report on the template provided. Many organisations provide templates for use, for example for tender documents. It makes comparison (or in this case marking) of reports easier.
The final report should include, but is not limited to, the following details:
• Stakeholder Management Plan, Communication Plan, Scope statement, WBS, program of works, activity network diagrams, critical path(s), durations estimates, risk register etc. Detailed financial estimates for the construction of the house, including (material labour, equipment), in addition to cumulative cost curves, management and administrative effort and costs, overheads and expected profit etc.
• Project reports generated from typical project management electronic tools (e.g., Microsoft Project, OmniPlan, Merlin, Primavera, etc.) must be included in the report. Hand drawn graphs and diagrams are not acceptable for the final report.
Presentation
Everyone in your group should present a short (up to 4 minute) presentation - either as a powerpoint presentation (or similar) with an associated voiceover or as a video presentation. This will be submitted via CANVAS. The length of the full group presentation should not exceed 15 minutes maximum.
The marks are individually awarded; therefore, it is important that you can be accurately identified. Please make sure you state your name, student ID, group and section number when you start presenting.
Assume that your group have been awarded the contract and are presenting the report as a plan to the owners. The group will need to decide who is presenting each section of the report. The total presentation will include a beginning and a conclusion section, together with the 6 areas covered in the weekly deliverables.
Please note that:
• A mark of zero will be awarded to student(s) who cannot be clearly identified (Student name and ID, Group Number, order of section of report presented).
• Student facts and figures will be checked against the group report.
• You are not presenting a sales pitch.
• It is preferable that the style of the report is consistent between group members - for example slide background, format, dress code etc.
• You may present one complete video for the group or each group member may produce their own video. Each student should submit the video a maximum of once, preferably in PPTX or MP4 video.
