Part 1: Project Selection, Stakeholder Identification, and Stakeholder Analysis

Part 1: Project Selection, Stakeholder Identification, and Stakeholder Analysis For this assignment, select a project from the following list. Office relocation Enterprise resource planning (or other large-scale information system) Automated car wash with multiple self-serve vacuum stations Warehouse shopping center County courthouse building Other: Subject to approval by instructor. Note that the project must be sufficiently stakeholder-intensive to support creation of the assigned plans. Then for the chosen project, identify, analyze, and rank by importance the project stakeholders into a stakeholder identification and analysis plan. Use the following areas as a guide to your plan. Introduction, Stakeholder Identification and Analysis, Resource Management Plan and RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed) Chart, Communications Management Plan and Accompanying Table, Stakeholder Management Plan, Resource Acquisition Plan, Team Development Plan, Project Performance Reporting Plan, and Stakeholder Engagement Monitoring and Control Plan. Submit your stakeholder identification and analysis plan in the form of a document of at least one page. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed. This formal paper example provided by the CSU Writing Center shows this type of formatting. Part 2: Resource Management Plan and RACI Chart For the project selected in Unit I, create a simple resource management plan. Your plan should follow the guidance in the PMBOK® Guide for the plan resource management process. Include an introduction, and consider the following questions: Who will I need to plan and execute this project? From where (and how) will I acquire these people? What does the project need in terms of (a) materials, (b) equipment, (c) funding, and (d) tools and supplies? From where (and how) will I acquire these resources? What basic approach will be taken regarding teambuilding, team development, and team motivation? Refer also to Figure 2.1 on page 44 of the textbook for guidance in what to include in the plan. Finally, create a RACI (responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed) chart for your project following the example of Table 2.1 on page 53 of the textbook. As a guide to depth, your resource management plan should be at least two pages in length. Your RACI chart may be created either as a table in Word and included at the end of the document or submitted as a separate Excel file. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.

Part 3: Communication Plan For the project selected in Unit I, create a simple communication management plan. Your plan should follow the guidance in the PMBOK® Guide for the plan communication management process as well as Figures 3.1 and 3.3 in the textbook. Consider the following questions: What will I need to communicate (project progress, other)? To whom will I need to communicate (stakeholders, contacts)? When will I need to communicate (timing, frequency)? Where will I communicate (location of the sender, receivers)? How will I communicate (media)? Why am I communicating (analyze all reports both planned and ad hoc to ensure rationale for communication effort is sound)? How do my planned communications close any gaps between project objectives and stakeholder expectations? How would such gaps be evaluated and fed back into the project communications cycle? Finally, in addition to writing out your strategies and responses to the questions, summarize the who, what, when, where, how, and why into a quick reference table. For example, consider the building the library scenario in the earlier unit. The “who” would be the stakeholders such as members of the community, future patrons of the library to name just a couple. The “what” would include information regarding the progress of the construction, key milestones, and perhaps some announcements regarding the planned scope of the completed library (such as types of media available for checkout, services to be offered, etc.). Such a table is often used as a succinct at-a-glance form of the communications plan. As a guide to depth, your Communication Management Plan should be at least two pages in length. You may either create your table in Word and include it at the end of the document or submit it as a separate Excel file.
