Description

My project for this assignment I building a 16×24 custom deck on the back of my residents to include a wet bar, firepit, barbeque grill and in install an awning cover. But have to follow the instructions below: Respond to the following points in a 2 page report using APA style. Include a cover page and references page in addition to the content pages. One of the project manager’s responsibilities involves constant evaluation and control throughout the life of the project. In other words, the PM must know exactly where the project stands at various points in the life of the project. Such project control involves setting goals, measuring progress, comparing progress with plans, and correcting any problems or deviations from the plans. It is relatively easy to determine if a project is on budget or not, or if a piece of equipment is functioning properly. However, behavior or human factors are more difficult to measure. These factors tremendously affect project success. Your textbook includes a section on Critical Success Factors for Project Management. These success factors are referred to as a Project Implementation Profile (PIP). There are ten factors in PIP: (1) project mission, (2) top management support, (3) project plans and schedules, (4) client consultation, (5) personnel, (6) technical tasks, (7) client acceptance, (8) monitoring and feedback, (9) communication, and (10) troubleshooting. Continue with the project that you identified during the last three assignments (originally identified in Unit 2 Case Study 1) and respond to these points: Remind us of your project by first providing a brief overview of the project scope. Name three of the ten critical success factors that emerged in this project. Evaluate and explain how each of these factors affected the success of the project. As the project manager, what steps would you take to control the “human” side of project management better? With respect to project termination, what project closure steps did your team complete (or fail to complete)?
