Success Measurement

The success of the project will be measured by staying on task and meeting all deadlines. The project must stay within the budget allotted and stick to the schedule indicated in the project network flow diagram. Another measure of success will be to purchase all the agreed upon deliverables and ensure that they meet all specs.

Best Practices of Management

Two Project Management practices that will help in ensuring the success of this project are scheduling and budgeting. Scheduling means setting exact start and end times and specifically, notifying the participants of the start and end times. Most importantly, identifying the key outcomes that must be achieved within the scheduled times will be necessary for success. There are many benefits from careful scheduling of a project. These benefits include: materials ordered in a timely manner, elimination of delays, and less time is involved in the remodeling of the bathroom. Well scheduled projects tend to be shorter and the outcomes are more focused on the end results (http://scheduling.ezbook.com/Scheduling.htm). Another excellent practice that can

benefit this project is budgeting. Staying on budget is one of the key factors that will play a significant role in ensuring the success and the completion of the project in a timely manner. In addition, budgeting will allow this project to develop a spending plan which will ensure that we do not exceed the $3,000 dollars allotted for the project. Furthermore, by having a budget plan in place, we are on the path to setting and meeting our financial goals.

Three Key Learning Points from Week One Simulation

Three key learning points from week one simulation that will be applied to the project plan are communication among team members, teamwork and research of project cost. Communication is vital to the success of this project because all participants need to understand the role they play as well as the impact each will have on the outcome of the project. Teamwork is another integral factor because everyone needs to be able to work cohesively and should someone fall short on their job, the other team members must feel confident enough to come to the rescue and step up to the plate. Furthermore, researching of the cost of all deliverables is equally important because knowing what the cost is will help in making decision as to how elaborate the project can be.
