Module 3 Assignment 2

Why do you suppose renovation of the President and Executive Vice President's offices were included in the project and was that a good idea?

The idea of including the top executives' offices in the renovation process hypothetically appears to be a good idea because you can complete two major construction projects at the same time. The key goal being that the total project would be completed within the given timeframe with minimum production loss. It also could have provided an incentives to the top executives to keeping the business at its current location and only expanding as oppose to moving to another location. These two reasons help to understand why the company would choose to include such a renovation on top of their expansion; however it was not the best idea. The process of expanding a company by 25percent is a large task. Without proper guidance the entire business can suffer. Each member of the upper management had never undertaken such a task so focusing on that task first would have proven more effective. The adding of renovations to other offices to an already extensive construction development just added more confusion to the overall project.

Write a simple project scope statement.

There are a number of ways in which you can define project scope. All should start with a high-level statement regarding what the project will deliver.

Project Title: Woody 2000

Project Justification: Our Company will meet the needs of this organization by increasing the facilities space by 25% in order to increase productivity. We will also stay within the $17 million budget.

Project Scope: This project will develop and deliver a new production site within the original facility. The new site will enable greater production of products that will allow the organization to generate more funds for the facility. The facility will be designed to remain consistent and operable for the organization.

Project Deliverables:

*Scope Statement

*Progress Reports

*Issues Reports

*Weekly Meeting Notes

*Final Assessment

Project Success: The project will be determined successful if the production of the facility increase and the newly created space is useful.
