In addition, you need to provide:
• work breakdown structure
Something like that. Please remove picture below and insert your own one!
• a Gantt chart (there are many free Gantt chart tools on the Internet or this may be hand
drawn)
if you want to use it: https://online.officetimeline.com/app/#/new-from-template
• The roles and responsibilities of the Project team. Please do not forget about your roles and responsibilities as a Project manager!
4. Explain how you would obtain approval of your project plan and from whom. Think about all the documents you have developed till now.
Part 3: Administering and Monitoring the Project
1. To maintain and improve the progress of the project all stakeholders must be aware of their
responsibilities and the tasks assigned to them. Discuss how you will ensure that this occurs.
2. List two concerns of the project team in this phase of the project and your plans to address these
concerns. One concern should be with respect to achieving timelines and the other with respect
to achieving quality.
3. To reduce the risk of the project going overtime or over budget due to unforeseen problems you
design the project control processes. These are processes – you need to include the relevant stakeholders, what they need to do at each step and when as well as required record keeping for managing/executing the project (to make sure the project goes to the plan) – approx. three or four lines per dot point for:
• scope
• time
• finances
• resources (human and non-human)
• Quality – or use the Quality template in Appendix C.
• Risks.

Part 4: Finalising and Reviewing the Project
1. What financial documentation do you need to complete? What financial records will be important

your human resources now that the project is complete.
3. Explain how you will obtain client/stakeholder acceptance that the project is complete.
4. Create a project checklist that allows you to verify the actual project outcomes achieved against
the outcomes as stated in the project scope and project plan. Fill this out – would your project be
considered successful?

• Who should be involved?
• What input might they be able to provide?
• How will you involve them?
6. What lessons you have learnt during the course of this project? Identify four key lessons and
suggest how you would change your approach to your next project. Use the Lessons Learnt Log
