Assignment

The assignment 2 for this Subject is based on the proposal (assignment 1) completed by the student. A student needs to develop a project management plan (project communication plan) for the project described in the assignment 1. The assignment is to be done individually by students. Assignment details are as follows:

Assignment Purpose and Objective

The aim of the assignment is to develop the Student’s understanding of Project Management Life Cycle through the evaluation of a case study Proposal. This assignment is based on concepts and principles from the lectures, class notes, syndicate exercises and reading references.

To meet the requirements of this assignment you as a Project Manager will need to write a project management plan and to address the following questions in relation to your selected project:

Provide a 1 page Executive Summary, aimed at senior management, on the background of your project (assignment 1).
Describe the project communication plan which captures details of all project communications including the schedule, the type of project control, reporting, project milestone, project environment.
Describe communications strategy and approach (this section of the plan would describe the general strategy and approach to communications management with the project). (For instance in a community-based project you would describe what the general approach to communicating with the community would be).
Discuss project reporting arrangements. Detail the project-reporting requirements, including status type reports that are to be generated by the project. It is common practice to include blank template reports as appendices to the Communication Management Plan.
Describe briefly Committee, project meetings arrangements, Review process (this is very important for the formation external communications)
Project management information system (PMIS). (this could range from corporate ICT systems to more specific project-related information systems, the security of access to these systems)
Risk review (review any communication activities to carried out and identify risks, ensure they captured within the project risk register).
Lessons learned (insure that a review of any lessons learned from prior similar projects is carried out and that any relevant lessons learned).

Answer:

Project Management Plan

The project management plan is developed for the project of Wireless LAN replacement at GV Health and the alignment of the successive integration of the operations.

Human Resource Management

The Human Resource Management (HRM) plays a significant role in the development and management of the communication for the project. The alignment of the operations was the major factor that had resulted in forming the utilization of the activities favouring the implication of the project of development of the wireless LAN connection at GV Health. The HRM plan involves the deployment of the effective management activities for the human resources of the project like analyst, documenter, planner, network designer, network engineer, IT engineer, and project manager. The HRM would involve staffing, development of work policies, pay administration, and retention of the employees. All these factors would result in listing the humans that are required for the completion of the project. The implication of the HRM has formed the development of the successful alignment of the operations.

Staffing	The staffing is one of the major procedural requirements of the organization. The alignment of the staff development would also be one of the major responsibilities that are being carried out by the HRM department. The recruitment and the selection of the candidates that would be required in the organization can carry on the alignment of the activities favouring the deployment of the operations for aligning the utilization of the activities.
Development of Work Policies	The work policies are also managed and developed by the HRM system. The effective alignment of the work policies had been helpful for listing the utilization of the activities favouring the implication of the operations for forming the casting of the operations. The alignment of the activities had also helped in forming the supportive deployment of the operations.
Pay Administration	The employees have been facing issues from the lack of proper payments and extra benefits and compensation from the organization. It had resulted in forming the major problems for the alignment of the human management. The HRM works for the management of the pay scale and ensure that the employees get their salaries on time. Moreover, the deployment of the HRM had also helped in introducing the applying the compensation and benefits for the employees It had resulted in keeping the employees and staffs happy from the organization.
Retention of Employees	The resignation of employees are the major factor that had resulted in forming the issue of the forming the effective implication of the operations. However, most of the organizations have been facing issues in retention of the employees. The lack of the retention in activities has resulted in forming most of the employee leaving the organization. The employee retention had been successful for the formation of the operations and alignment of the activities favouring the utilization of the HRM.
