Learning outcome 1: Plan using industry-standard project management software

Learning outcome 2: Evaluate the effectiveness of project management software

Objectives:
Incorporating and coordinating the programmes of specialist trade packages is the most important and complex part of the planning and scheduling of a project. The purpose of this assignment is to:
• Develop a process model that is sufficiently detailed to show the relative timing of the information flows between the specialist trade packages.
• Investigate the advantages and the barriers to implementing project management software.

Tasks:
Based on the Concrete Floor Cycle Case Study, produce a 3000-word Project Management Report that includes the following:
» Select a specialist trade package and propose the scope of this package.
» Formulate how the selected package fits in the overall construction process.
» Assemble the programme information that the selected package requires from, and the programme information it has to supply to; other packages.
» Develop an IDEF0 process map that shows the information flows within the package and across the interface boundaries with other packages.
Timing
» Conclude the relative timing for the information flows identified above. Appraisal
Taking into consideration the interfaces and the constraints of the case study project, investigate the following:
• MS Project software capability of encompassing your findings above for the following two programmes:
- The overall structural construction programme.
- The selected trade package programme.
» The advantages and barriers to the effective implementation of 4D BIM.
» The advantages and barriers to the effective implementation of ADePT.
