This plan is the document which describes how the project will be executed, monitored and controlled. It integrates and consolidates all of the subsidiary plans and baselines from the planning processes. In this subject, you will be creating components of a Project Management Plan for your selected Case Study. Project Scope Management includes the processes required to ensure that the project includes all the work required, and only the work required, to complete the project successfully. Managing the PROJ6002_Assessment 1 brief_051117.docx project scope is primarily concerned with defining and controlling what is and is not included in the project. Project Time Management includes the processes required to manage the timely completion of the project. Plan Time Management is the process of establishing the policies, procedures, and documentation for planning, developing, managing, executing, and controlling the project schedule. Effective scope management is one of the key factors determining project success. Failure to accurately interpret a client’s needs or problems will produce a misleading definition (scope of work). If this causes rework and additional effort, there may be project cost and time implications. Therefore project success will be self-limiting if the scope of work is not adequately defined. Instructions: This assessment has two parts: Module 2 Discussion Activity (Part A) and Scope and Time Management documentation (Part B). Part A – Module 2 Discussion Activity Schedule Management. How might changes to project scope affect the project’s schedule, and how would a project manager formally communicate such variances to project stakeholders? Output Provide an initial discussion of approximately 250 words by the first half of Module 2. Respond with approximately 250 words for each feedback/comment to at least one fellow student’s discussion by the end of Module 2 (Total 500 words for Assessment 1 Part A).
