P2 Project Plan Management

A project plan is an approved written document which helps to guide in executing and controlling all the stages of the project. This plan is created by a project manager so that the cost, resources and time required, risk involved etc. can be determined so that the project objectives can be achieved. The various elements of project management plan are :

Cost 

This element helps in estimating the budget of plan so that the expenses that are needed to be done so as to execute the plan properly can be determined (Allaoui, Bourgault and Pellerin, 2019). This helps in evaluating the total cost that the company will have to bear in order to achieve the objectives of the plan. Total cost of this project for the company is :

Total Forecasted Budget

Scope

It helps in determining the specific project goals, deliverables, features, functions, deadlines etc. so that the desired results can be properly achieved. Proper methods and techniques are to be applied in the project so that the project objectives are achieved on time and within the estimated budget.

Time

This element helps in estimating the total time that will be required from the start of the research to the application of research results in the company to achieve desired goals. The time taken by researcher for this project is 2 months.

Quality

It is related with collection of information from authentic and reliable sources so that effective decisions can be taken which will help in completing the project on time and within the estimated budget (Christian, 2019). The researcher uses both qualitative and quantitative sources to collect information so as to ensure the authenticity, reliability and quality of data that has been collected.

Communication

Effective communication needs to be established so that the flow of information through various stages can be done efficiently and the meaning of messages are perceived in the same meaning as it is intended so that effective results can be achieved. E-mails, video-chats, messages etc. are used by researcher so as to maintain the transparency and ease with which messages are shared.

Risk

These are the factors which creates barriers and affects the efficiency and quality of research. These risks can be shortage of time, resources, research skills, communication skills etc.

Resources

These are the tools and assets that help the researcher in conducting the research efficiently so that desired results can be achieved. These resources are statistical tools, technology that is used, financial tools etc.

P3 WBS and Gantt Chart

Gantt Chart

It is a horizontal bar chart which showcase all the activities against the time in order to accomplish each and every activity of project management plan on time.

Qualitative Research Method

In this method, researcher give their emphasis on open ending conversations in order to collect more deep information about the perception, behaviour and nature of different respondents which have been determined by researcher. Herein the information it hard to represent in a graphical or tabular manner. Various resources can be utilised here like observation, surveys, interview and many others (Kordova, Katz and Frank, 2019).

Quantitative Research Method

The data which is collected here is remain in numerical form which can be presented by graphs and tables so as to represent and analyse it in a better manner in terms to make effective decisions. Polls, questionnaire and many more resources are included in this.

Sources of Data Collection

• Primary : This resource of collecting data provide more relevant and first hand data as data is gathered by researcher personally with the help of interview, polls, questionnaire etc. but this process is more time consuming and costly.
• Secondary : Herein, data which is collected by researcher has already used by any other investigator to conduct its research. Herein, collected data may be out-dates and as per the perception of another investigators. For this, various magazines, journals, online sites can be utilised.

Sampling

This refers to a process which has adopted by researcher to select the number of respondents which requires to undertake so as to collect more accurate information and to accomplish objectives of research (Ng and Rumens, 2017). The sample size is determine on the basis of mutual characteristics and features of diverse population. Herein, researcher is using non-random sampling method and select a sample size of 40 to collect information or data.
