Project Management For Improved Work Development | Business Case Analysis

Project Scope, Objectives, and KPI

The project management holds an integral role for forming the implication management and aligning the utilization management. The completion of the works would be aligned with the management activity and management of the successive work completion. The integration has been managed with the consideration of the factors and managing the implication development. The following assignment would be implied with the integration of the improved work development. The business case analysis would be developed for listing the analysis of the factors for integration and alignment of the specific work completion. The assignment would include the analysis of project scope, objectives, KPI–project delivery, risk analysis, resource plan, estimation plan, communication plan, project schedule, monitoring and controlling strategy, changes applied on project schedule / cost, project status report, and change management details. The completion of the report would result in forming the final documentation development for the stakeholders.

The business case is the analysis of the project background for the development of the effective and smart management processing. The implication of the works had been aligned with the utilization of the works and taking care of the project activities. The project plan would be developed for considering the specific alignment tools. The project would form the reduction of the OPEX/CAPEX in the organization by the installing the use of the ICT infrastructure, services, and resources. The project is also responsible for the utilization of the works and integrating the alignment of the factors for development of IT operations and enhancing the work alignment.

The project has been developed for utilizing the implication management operations and forming the successful integration of the activities. The project scope is an improved work proposition aligning the specific work execution and management of the activities. The project scope development has been largely implied with the factors for integrating the alignment of the specific work development. The scope of the project is given as,

1. Critical Factor Project Execution: The obtaining of the final decision has been developed for aligning the management of the works and the implication of the smart management development. The domain renaming was also a part of the project management processing.
2. Activity Scheduling Dependency: The development of the architecture would be supported by the development of effective documentation and processing. The project would include the scope development for the architectural design development.
3. Preparation of OGC Vertical Branding: The new branding for the OGC would be prepared with the alignment of the works for the continuation of the effective implication management.

The objectives of the project would be identified with the analysis of the completed analysis development model. The specific work would be developed considering the management of the factors and forming the management of the improved work development. The identified objectives of the project are,

• To reduce the OPEX/CAPEX with the installation of the ICT infrastructure resources and services
• To enhance of the maintainability for standardization and efficiency improvement development
• To unify ICT policies, standards, and operations for reorganizing and specializing the IT departmental function enhancement

The key performance indicators of the project would be dependent on the key benefits for the project. The successful completion of the project would be dependent on the alignment of the works and the management of the activities would be effectively done for integrating the alignment for the successful management of the works. The ICT infrastructure development would be effectively implied with the continuation of the factors for the listing model. The shared services for multiple activities would be implied with the continuation of the improved management process. The key performance indicators for the project would be implied with the formation of the improved functional development. The listing of the key performance indicators would be implied with the formation of the successful listing management works. The key performance management activities would be implied with the listing of the activities and formation of the activities management. 

Risk Analysis, Resource and Estimation Plan, and Communication Plan

Risk identification

The project requires the use of the effective ICT technology development and implication for improving the services of the organization. The identified risk factors for the project are,

Excessive scope deviation: The deviation of the project from the scope is another major factor resulting in the formation of the issues for the users and problems for the developer. The change in requirements would result in causing the major setback for the project team to finish the project.

Project information and boundaries: The lack of the information related to the development of the effective and improved management process can result in forming the major implication issues. The major issues in technology information implementation is that it requires considerable amount of information for listing the management works.

Branding package timeliness: The delays in completion of the works would be highly cognitive in forming the alignment of the proper development. The activity would result in consumption of the time and if more amount of time is required for the activity to be completed then the final deliverable for the project would be delayed.

Resources for ICT Project Management: The shortage of resources is another major factor for causing the problem in completion of the works and the alignment of the improved management works. The lack of the resources would result in forming the issues in development of the smart work development.

Budget Availability: The lack of resources would result in minimizing the project budget resulting in major issues for the completion of the work. The lack of budget would tend to cause the major issues in forming the effective project budgeting.

Communication, Decision making and Authorities: The lack of communication would tend to form the impact in taking crucial decisions of the project and it would form the issues in forming the limitation management. The authorities of the project users would be formed for listing the development of the effective management processing.

Change Management issues: The change management issues would be dealt with the consideration of the factors for improved analysis and development. The change management would be impactful in forming the listing of the management processes. 

Level of engagement and cooperation from stakeholders: The level of the engagement and co-operations among the stakeholders would be tarnished due to the fact that the project leaders would be limited to the formation of the improved management.

Standardization and compliances: The standardization of the works related to the project activities would align with the considered for the formation of development. The compliance and standard operation would be aligned with the formation of the works aligned with the limitation of the activities and operations.

Reflection & Conclusion 

I have been playing the role of the project manager for the project and it had been a very wonderful experience managing an IT project. The implication of the works would be implied with the continuation of the specific development management. It was not easy for managing an IT project as per my experience due to its ever-changing scope. The performance factor also plays a significance role for taking care of the work development.

The integration had been managed with the consideration of the factors and managing the implication development. The following assignment had been implied with the integration of the improved work development. The business case analysis had be developed for listing the analysis of the factors for integration and alignment of the specific work completion. The assignment had include the analysis of project scope, objectives, KPI–project delivery, risk analysis, resource plan, estimation plan, communication plan, project schedule, monitoring and controlling strategy, changes applied on project schedule / cost, project status report, and change management details.
