c  c

The project scope statement details the project deliverables, objectives,


boundaries, constraints, assumptions, and milestones of the laboratory
development project ]hrome Engineering has undertaken for Dr. Lipset.
This detailed scope statement captures in very broad terms the product for
this project. It outlines what is required for approval, success and risks
associated by our team in taking this project. This scope statement
establishes an agreement between our team and Dr. Lipset establishing what
fundamentally is involved in the management and delivery of this projects lab
development.

WBS is a deliverable oriented hierarchical decomposition of work to be


executed and only the work to be executed by the project team.
]omprehensive list of deliverables outlined in the detailed scope statement is
used to prepare the WBS. WBS is a very important tool for the project and is
used throughout the project planning process. All the deliverables have been
carefully analyzed to develop the WBS. The project has been divided into
different phases to minimize the disruptions to ongoing work, with each
phase having its own key deliverables. As can be seen below, the WBS
captures major deliverables of the project. The Lab migration project is
divided into six major deliverables, namely lab ME] E 1-38, ME] E 2-22,
infrastructure, transportation means, compliance documents and project
management documents. Each deliverable is then decomposed into smaller,
more manageable deliverables.

Detailed statement of work describes deliverables which will be produced in


each major work of the project. It describes in detail, the work necessary to
perform to produce the project deliverables. If any scope changes occur in
the project, in alignment with the project charter, detailed statement of work
will be modified to reflect approved changes.

WBS dictionary documents the description of work packages of the WBS.


The WBS dictionary of the project contains description of activities to be

ac
c
performed in all the work packages. The WBS dictionary contains details
which include due date for the work package, resources identified,
interdependencies between various project activities, deliverable acceptance
criterion and any assumptions. If any scope changes occur in the project, in
alignment with the project charter, the WBS dictionary will be modified to
reflect approved changes.

The scope management plan describes how the laboratory development


project will be defined, managed, controlled, verified and communicated to
the project team, Dr. Lipsett and the other associated stakeholders. It is
established to ensure a shared understanding of how the detailed scope
statement and the WBS will be created. It also establishes a formalized
process for the handling of engineering change requests. The scope
management plan establishes the criteria for formal verification and
acceptance of scope and WBS changes.

Due to the nature of the project, quality of services provided will be of


paramount importance. Quality will be measured in terms of safety of the
personnel¶s performing the movement and the heavy machinery. The aim of
the movement is to safely transfer the machinery and other small equipments
without disturbing the ongoing research projects & other professors, research
students and University students.

The human resources which have been made available to the project team
include Dr. Lipsett, the project manager (Shannon MacDonald), the project
team, laboratory technicians, a cleaning service, and research students
under Dr. Lipsett. Each individual group of human resources has various
constraints which were considered. The constraints include: minimal
available time, non-project related commitments, labor
agreements/regulations, and the need for advanced notifications. The risk
associated with the human resources from a management perspective is
small based on the nature of the project. Working conditions, risks, work
durations, and breaks all conform to the rules and regulations set by
Occupational Health and Safety as well as University of Alberta. To promote
a sense of ownership for the project, tasks have been delegated to those
individuals who volunteer for them. This allows individuals to work within their
fields of interest making the work more enjoyable. Sufficient human

›c

resources are available for the project and all human requirements have
been filled.

There is very little scope for procurement process in total. As the material
required will be provided by University facility and needed in very small
amounts too. This project more over is a service based project. but also for
this purpose There is ample manpower and equipments are readily available.
Research students along with Roger Marchand and his team will be sufficient
for the movement of the lab. For the movement of any heavy material
movement, the crane and roller tables are available with to Roger Marchand.
The only services required by procurement be that of Bee ]lean Inc for is the
cleaning of the lab by Bee ]lean Inc up the premises before the actual
movement of the lab takes place.

The Risk Management Plan describes the methodology of the risk


management process that will be implemented for the duration of the project.
There are tools and techniques stating how to properly identify risks, and to
determine the probability and impact of incident occurrences. The risks are
assessed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The Risk Owners consist of
Dr. Lipsett, Roger Marchand, AI]T and the University of Alberta facilities.
Dr. Lipsett and Roger Marchand are responsible for risks generated by the
project, while AI]T and University of Alberta Facilities are responsible for
risks posed by the environment wherein the project takes place. Any risk-
related documentation additions or adjustments will be made following the
specified process. Any changes made to the Execution Phase of the project
may impose new risks, which will require a complete iteration of the risk
assessments in the specified area. Any changes to the Risk Management
Plan must be approved by Dr. Lipsett directly.
c
c
&c "#c"#c

All risks that have been currently identified within the project have been
compiled into the Risk Register. The register specifies the types of risks,
their probability of occurring and the impact that an incident would have on
the project. Each risk has been assigned a Risk Owner who will be
responsible for all aspects of that risk, as well as a response plan for all
possible incidents. As new risks are identified during the life cycle of the
project, the Risk Register is to be updated as per documentation guidelines.

]ommunication is crucial to the success of any project. For the lab


movement project we have set up the required management plan for
communicating the ongoing activities and progress to all the stakeholders
and utilizing feedback mechanisms. We will be providing Dr. Lipsett with a
detailed report to communicate our plans for with the assumptions made and
execution planning for the project. Layout of the new lab as an engineering
drawing in Auto]ad was discussed with Dr. Lipsett for approval. Face to face
meetings is being were preferred than over other means of communication.
Owing to the constraint that Research students have busy schedules, they
were contacted through a questionnaire.
For communication inbetween the team members and the project manager,
new age technology of internet (Facebook & Scribd) was were also
incorporated into the communication management plan along with weekly
meetings and discussions.

The Laboratory Development Project was initiated on January 31st, 2011,


and the initiation phase was completed on February 21st, 2011. The Planning
Phase was initiated on February 22nd, 2011. A draft of the Project Planning
Report was submitted to Dr. Lipsett for review on March 22nd, 2011 to
acquire feedback about the contents of the report, and to obtain any further
recommendations that were not already stated by the project team. The
Planning Phase was closed on April 11th, 2011. The duration Execution
Phase will be from May 1st, 2011 to May 30th, 2011. At that point, and Dr.
Lipsett will assess the completion and determine if any further actions need
to take place to satisfy the project requirements.

Utilizing available human resources to the fullest extent is crucial to ensuring


the project is completed within schedule and budgetary requirements. Many
human resource assets have been provided through the University of Alberta
at no cost to the project. The total budget for the project is $10 000 dollars.
This sum includes contingency funds and is the absolute maximum available
for this project. The cost risks associated with this project are minimal due to
the project team being provided with adequate funds. The budget has been
divided into two separate accounts, the primary account and the contingency
account. The primary account will amount to $7500 leaving the remaining
$2500 as a contingency which further mitigates the cost risk. The project
team will be utilizing bottom-up estimating due to the high level of accuracy

2c
c
inherent to this method. Any work that has been completed which has an
associated budgetary expense is to be documented on an expense sheet.
The expense sheets will provide a clear picture when used to conduct an
earned value analysis.

Due to the nature of the contracts between the project team, the University of
Alberta, and the client Dr. Lipsett, all labor expenses excluding the cleaning
sub-contractor have been obtained at no cost to the project. The total cost for
the project has been determined to be $1,330.00. This estimate is good for
60 days after the date the report has been accepted.

As the laboratory development project reaches completion of the planning


phase this section was developed to compare the current project plan with
the project charter. This comparison illustrates what project planning
changes have been implemented as well as what terms were required to
meet consensus and approval with Dr. Lipsett before being applied to the
project scope.

Lessons Learned represents the internally reported body of knowledge


learned over the course of a projects development. The lessons learned
report is an organizational process asset and as such it typically does not
enter the customer deliverables. However the lessons learned by our team
over the course of this project is both informative and useful; and as such we
wish to share our findings with our instructor Dr. Sami Fahmy.

In the original project charter for the Laboratory Development Project one of
the desirables was the relocation of the slurry pipeline in ME] E 2-14 to the
new laboratory. We were required to qualitatively analyze this desirable to
determine its feasibility. Our conclusion was that there isn¶t enough space in
the lab to facilitate the slurry pipeline. The full details of this analysis are
disclosed in this section.

The objective of the Laboratory Development Project is to establish the


plans for setting up a new laboratory in room number ME] E 1-38 in
Mechanical Engineering building by migrating the equipment and
infrastructure from room numbers ME] E 2-22. This involves thoroughly
inspecting laboratories affected by the migration process for available
furniture and equipment, and developing a laboratory layout for the new
lab in ME] E 1-38 needs to be prepared. Discussion with students,
researchers, faculty members and administrative staff who are going to
be affected has to be undertaken and feedback should be incorporated in
the project plan. Any replaced furniture or equipment must be
serviceable (good working order) however quality level can include
second hand purchases.

The finished product will be a research facility or laboratory used by up to
a total of 12 students/researchers. This lab will include two separate lab
sections: a ³clean area´ environment for analytical work and a ³dirty area´
section for hands on work.

The ³clean area´ environment will include space for 4 computer work
stations as well as other desks, tables and chairs for paperwork and
studying. The ³clean area´ environment will also require some shelving
units.

The ³dirty area´ section will include the usage of heavy machinery
including: a mill, a foam cutter, a refrigerator with oil sand samples, a
hydraulic shaker table (already in lab), solder station as well as additional
storage space for other oil sands materials.

The project management team at ]hrome Engineering will provide the


planning, scheduling, schedule coordination and procurement for the new
ME] E 1-38 lab. We are to obtain feedback from the various
stakeholders to ensure their opinions and knowledge have been utilized
to benefit of the project. This will also assist in the overall coordination of
the project. These stakeholders include Dr. Lipsett, the coordinator for
the lab technicians Roger Marchand, as well as the researchers for the
current labs. Effectively planning for the development of the lab will
facilitate coordinated and optimized movement of lab resources. The
entire process will be executed in a manner that minimizes the
disturbance to the ongoing work/studies in the building.

c  +
c #c

The project management team at ]hrome Engineering will be


responsible for facilities planning, furniture procurement, and resource
allocation for students and researchers at the new laboratory. The
migration of the current lab facilities and resources in the ME] E 2-22
labs will be conducted after the winter term of 2011 ends. The new lab
space is expected to require 4-8 desks as well as additional chairs and
tables as well as the setup of personal space for students ± personal
storage areas (draws or lockers).

It is understood that not all researchers and equipment from ME] E 2-22
are being moved. Only the resources associated with the 7 researchers
working for Dr. Lipsett are being relocated. We also accept that other labs
will be coordinating moves at the same time. We will schedule to work
with these other labs so that the usage of hallways and entrances does
not clash; however we are not responsible for their moves. Our project
management team is responsible for coordinating moves by producing a
schedule. We are also aware that the scheduled move does not have to
happen all at once. The move should be scheduled to minimize impact on
ongoing projects. As part of our procurement we must ensure proper
boxes/equipment are in place to move equipment safely. Our project
management team is not responsible for construction/structural changes.
Our project management team is not responsible for U of A responsible
features (i.e. fire extinguishers). We must ensure that the lab in question
has functional campus Wi-Fi as well as a functional phone must be setup.

Our project management team will deliver three deliverables. The first
deliverable is the Phase I report outlining the project definition. The

Product acceptance will be based on an assessment by the new lab


users. The use of a post-move survey will provide the project team with
insights as to how well the project went from the perspective of
stakeholders. Project acceptance will be based on evaluation of the
completed migration plan by Dr. Lipsett as well as an independent third
party Dr. Sami Fahmy.

The work of moving the lab will be conducted mainly with the aid of lab
technicians, researchers and students. The scheduling of this project is
constrained with reference to their work schedules and by the fact that we
must minimize the impact / disturbance to current research work. Our
project is also constrained by a budget limitation and a project completion
deadline.

It is assumed that the Wi-Fi is already available at the new location


provided by the Wi-Fi router in the lab. We also believe that the power
supply in the new lab location is functional and that we are not required to
implement any construction/structural changes.

This project has been assigned a budget of $10,000 and the team has
been informed that it is flexible. The team has been instructed to stay
close to this number so we will assume it is an upper limit. The impact of
this assigned budget will be the requirement to complete a cost estimate
for the entire Project.

 c ' #c*# c

The moving of equipment and materials will be conducted by students


and lab technician¶s meaning additional paid movers will not be required,
The cost of the move itself is anticipated to be minimal. Therefore most of
the expense expected will be in procurement and cleaning. This would be
the cost of student working stations in the clean environment. We will be
detailing a cost estimate of the move.

The scope is well defined, and any changes in the scope are expected to
be minimal. Researcher surveys may include a few new or unexpected
procurement provisions; however these are not expected to be large in
size or cost.

It is assumed that all changes to the project scope will required notification to
the following stakeholders: The project owner Dr. Lipset, Shannon MacDonald
Project Manager for ]hrome Engineering, Researchers using the lab 1-38,
Mechanical Engineering Technician responsible for commissioning the lab (via
Roger Marchand).

c

It is assumed that creation, changes, updates to project scope will require


approval of the project owner Dr. Lipset and the Project Manager for ]hrome
Engineering Shannon MacDonald.

We have found that some of the supporting stakeholder information such as


researcher surveys are slow to respond. This may cause scope dependency
risks.

Upon receipt of client feedback, stakeholder feedback (researcher surveys) we


will update any new or improved details of the project and product scope into the
preliminary version as well as new details found from the development of the
Work Breakdown Structure into the production of the detailed Project Scope
Statement.

]reation of the Detailed Scope Statement Documentation and updates will be


primarily handled by team member Sean Hodgson. All additions, changes,
corrections, and updates are to be submitted in writing via an approved E]R
(see Appendix 5.9 for E]R form). This process will be described further in
section 5.8, but will require the involvement of the requesting stakeholder, the
ac

]hrome Engineering Project Manager Shannon MacDonald, and the Project
]lient Dr. Lipsett.

The creation of the work breakdown structure for this project will follow the
following steps. The project team for ]hrome Engineering will evaluate the
detailed project scope statement, its deliverables and overall project work and
break it down into smaller more manageable pieces. These pieces will be
illustrated and further broken down using a graphical representation via a
network diagram. The components of the network diagram will be further
expanded upon in the creation of a WBS dictionary.
]reation of the WBS documentation and updates will be primarily handled by
team member Anand Rohit. All additions, changes, corrections and updates are
to be submitted in writing via an approved E]R (see Appendix 5.9 for E]R
form). Any team member or the client can submit to Anand Rohit a completed
E]R, however it must have signed approval from both the Project Manager and
the ]lient Dr. Lipsett.

The final product produced for Dr. Lipsett by ]hrome Engineering will be the
planning documents for the Laboratory Development Project. Our completion
and success in this project is dependent on the quality of these documents.
The minimum required level of detail of these documents must outline is listed in
the Detailed Project Scope Statement.

Assessment from the client on the quality of the project deliverables will be
based on the completeness of the project management and planning details in
the final project deliverable. This assessment will be completed with a written
review provided by an independent third party (Prof. Sami Fahmy) who will
evaluate the quality of the project management documentation provided by
]hrome Engineering and will assign a grade for this documentation.

The Detailed Project Scope Statement will continue to develop with the progress
of the project. To implement a scope change new requirements/needs to be
updated and approved. All additional unexpected details must be recorded and
as such the Project Scope Statement should be updated in a formal manner. It
should be understood that additional requirements added on by the client can
and most likely will impact the overall schedule and cost of the project which is

›c
c
why all changes to Project Scope require formal approval of both the project
manager and the client.

Figure 2 ± E]R Process

Any major change to the scope of a project requires the submission of an E]R
by a Stakeholder. This E]R is evaluated by both the project manager and the
]lient Dr. Lipsett in terms of feasibility. To approve the scope change the client
must come to some understanding of the impact of the scope change to both
time and cost and approve these impacts. If the E]R is approved, the scope
documents are updated and the Project Manager notifies the appropriate
stakeholders. If the E]R is not approved the scope documents are not
approved and the Project Manager notifies the appropriate stakeholders.

6.8 Appendix: Safe Lifting Procedures
U Before lifting a load, think of other means of moving it using a device that can
help you to pull, push or roll the load.

U Have firm footing and make sure the standing surface that you are on is not
slippery.

U Determine the best way to hold the load using handles, gripping areas or special
lifting tools. Get a firm grip on the load.

U Keep your back straight by tucking your chin in.

U Tighten your stomach muscles and lift with your legs.

U Lift the load slowly.

U Hold the load as close to the body as possible; be sure you position the load
close to the body before lifting.

U Do not twist during your lift or when moving the load. Turn with your feet rather
than your back.

U Set the load down gently, using your legs and keeping your back as straight as
possible.

U Be sure your fingers are out of the way when putting the load down and when
moving the load through tight spaces.

U Ask for help if you need it and use lifting tools and devices whenever they are
available.

personnel handle a wide range of projects at the University of Alberta and
so advanced notice of requirements is necessary. The demanding
schedules of the laboratory technicians limit their work contribution. The
laboratory technician¶s work is primarily based on a batch work structure
and so the project team will need to schedule and utilize the technicians
accordingly.

Research students directly affected will require advanced notice of all


migration related activities. Researchers will require windows of allocated
time in which they are able to relocate their materials and tools. The
laboratory space allocated to a researcher is to be work ready upon that
student¶s relocation window. This is required to ensure minimal disruption

to the researchers schedule and provides appropriate accommodations for
the researcher to work.

It has been found necessary to address issues such as human resource


shortages, employee transfers, and employee promotions. The project team,
working with the University of Alberta, has been assured that staff will be made
available regardless of the aforementioned. These reassurances have
minimized the associated human resource risk. The labour intensive phase of
the migration process has been scheduled to occur after the end of the
semester. This is advantageous as the amount of constrains and demands on
the laboratory technicians is lowered during this period time. The risk has also
been minimized through the allocation of funds to a reserve dedicated for short
term labour subcontracting in the event University assets are unavailable. The
project team members as well as the project manager have all signed an
agreement stating that the project will be completed before any member is
released of his or her responsibilities.

During this phase of the project the primary laboratory which the
researchers are being relocated to will be cleared of all non-essential
equipment, furnishings, laboratory experiments, and infrastructure. This

prioritizing the safety of both human resources and the public. Work being
completed is to be done so in a manner that satisfies the project manager and to
the best ability of the human resource. Any incidents, deficiencies and other
events will be promptly brought to the attention of the project manager. Unsafe
work practices will not be tolerated and work that is unsafe work is not to be
undertaken.

To promote a sense of ownership for the project, tasks have been delegated to
those individuals who volunteer for them. This allows individuals to work within
their fields of interest as much as possible making the work more enjoyable.
Work has also been distributed in a manner which allows pairs of team
members to work together towards common milestones. This promotes an
atmosphere of teamwork and cooperation.

Most of the furniture and other material required for the laboratory will be
available in university facilities, other labs or store. The exact extent of
availability of material is not available but there is high probability of finding the
right furniture within the university campus.

All procurement if any will be done through University authorities. Our team will
not directly deal with the supplier. The University will have their own supplier
with earlier contracts, thus benefiting in terms of price.

The market will be stable during the procurement cycle. It is assumed that
furniture market is one of the stable businesses and there should not be much
fluctuation in the price of required material.

9. Risk Management Plan
c
% c )   c

For the initial risk assessment, the project manager and the team have
brainstormed and collaborated in identifying all possible risks within the current
known elements of the project. These identified risks will be reviewed in the
presence of Dr. Lipsett and Roger Marchand as early as their schedules allow
the review.

To ensure that the risk environment is being assessed sufficiently, Dr. Lipsett
will act as the risk management expert. Other risk-related inquiries will also be
made to the laboratory equipment experts (Roger Marchand and his team).

The following risk management process (described in Figure 3cc "c


  c
 c
) will be implemented throughout the duration of the project. If any changes are
made to the project plan during the execution phase of the project, a risk
assessment will be carried out to determine if any new risks are present.

c
Figure 3 ± Risk Management Process

2?c
c
h 
   Risk reviews will take place during weekly meetings to
discuss the current state of risks within the project.

     Throughout the project lifetime, new processes and


actions may be implemented that pose new risks which had not been identified
in earlier planning stages. During the planned reviews, these risks will be
identified. (See Section 9.1.1 for further details)

   A risk assessment/analysis will be carried out for any
new identified risks. (See Sections 9.1.2 to 9.1.4 for analyses)

    Risks are deemed acceptable only once they have
been rated using a risk matrix (see Sections 9.1.2.1 and 9.1.2.2). Low level risks
are ³acceptable,´ without any further management involvement. Medium level
risks are ³acceptable with certain conditions.´ These risks must be closely
monitored, and the project manager must be present to ensure the risk is kept
under control. High level risks are ³unacceptable´ and any actions producing
such risks will be halted immediately.

      Once a risk is determined to be acceptable, it must


be managed in the way that is most appropriate for that risk. Methods for
managing each risk will be discussed by the project manager, the team, and the
Dr. Lipsett. (See Section 9.1.4 for further details)

     Further controls, management systems, protective


features, etc. may be added to reduce risks to an acceptable level. (See Section
9.1.4 for further details)

   : If the risk can be reduced, the necessary changes must be
implemented to decrease it (see Section 9.1.4). It is important to note that if a
change is made to reduce the risk present in a process or action, a full risk
analysis must be redone on the newly implemented process or action. This will
reveal possible new risks that may have been added to the project. (See
Sections 9.1.1 to 9.1.4)

h  : If a risk has been identified as unacceptable, any


processes or actions that pose that risk will be stopped. This is important to
protect all people involved in the project, people of the community, personal and
university assets, as well as the sustainability of ]hrome Engineering as an
enterprise with favourable public opinion.

˜  : At weekly meetings, the team has undergone a
brainstorming session to assess the possibility of risks that were
overlooked earlier in the project Planning Phase. As well, origins of new
risks have been considered as any changes to the project plan have been
made.

   : Aside from the project team members, Dr. Lipsett has been
interviewed on his perception of possible risks.

   : A checklist for the duration of the Execution Process


has been created to ensure essential safety and risk management
processes are not overlooked. Refer to the Laboratory Relocation Safety
]hecklist in Appendix 9.12.

Risk data will be reviewed on a weekly basis. The data collected from
individuals interviewed for their opinions on risk probabilities have been
carefully reviewed for consistency. Any variations larger than 0.20 have
been reassessed by the project manager, project team and Dr. Lipsett to
attain values whose variation is equal to or less than 0.20 for a set of
ratings describing a single risk.

%c "#c' 5 c

All documented risks have been categorized by the sources of risk and the
area of the project affected. This methodology illustrates the areas of the
project that have the greatest exposure to uncertainty. Related
documentation can be found in Appendix 9.14.

The variable X was defined as the total number of working days required by the
technicians to complete the lab setup and heavy equipment move. For this
estimate of 4.75 days +/- 20% it can be modeled as a normal distribution with a
mean of 4.75 days and a standard deviation of 0.95 days.

The variable Y was defined as the total number of working days required by the
students to move their desk possessions and personal items to the new lab. For
this estimate of 5 days +/- 40% it can be modeled as a normal distribution with a
mean of 5 days and a standard deviation of 2.21 days.

The total number of working days to complete the move should take (X+Y) days.
This total does not include delays to start of move or any other variable
occurrences.

c
c
We can model the resultant move time as follows:

Figure 4 ± ]umulative Distribution Function for Move ]ompletion

Therefore there is a high degree of certainty (> 95%) that if the move is
uninterrupted it will take less than 3 weeks. To allow time for any unforeseen
delays it would be recommended to schedule a larger amount of time.

%c "#c  ;c'  cc"# #cc

With respect to the Probability and Impact Matrix shown in Appendix 9.13, and
the Risk Register in Section 10, activities posing a risk rating between 8% and
17% will be closely monitored and controlled by the risk owner during the activity
to ensure safe completion. Emergency services offered by the University of
Alberta will be utilized in the event of an injurious or facilities-related incident.
There are no current activities with a risk rating of 18% or higher. If any risks
arise with this rating, they will be avoided by changing the method of execution.

During the weekly risk assessments, any new risks that are identified will be
added to the risk register.

Dr. Lipsett or Roger Marchand will be supervised by them accordingly during the
time that the risk is present. If any incidents occur, these individuals are to
handle them according to the risk responses listed in the Risk Register. Any
incidents relevant to AI]T or the University of Alberta facilities will be
documented and the corresponding departments will be contacted.

To keep all the stakeholders well informed in advance about the project
progress and future activities. The prior dissemination of knowledge through
proper communication channel will give confidence to all stakeholders. A prompt
and accurate communication will ensure any change in expectations of a
stakeholder or alteration in working environment, thus enabling the project
manager to take necessary action to mitigate any risk.

It will be essential to communicate all the planning processes to Dr. Lipsett to


keep him aware as he is the most influential stakeholder in this project.

In the absence of a good communication management plan not only important


things can be missed but also there is high probability of miscommunication
which may lead to grave problems in the course of project.

c ' 


 c' ##c
c
To read and understand the safety codes for research facility layout will be a
cumbersome task, safety codes are written in very general manner and often
prone to misinterpretation. This area requires an expert advice to avoid any risk
possible.

Dr. Lipsett has a very demanding work schedule and his availability for direct
face to face meetings is a big constraint which pushes the project manager to
use other mediums. Dr. Lipsett is not only the owner of the project but also the
most influential stakeholder in the project, so we have to tread manage his
expectations carefully.

Dr. Lipsett has deemed communication with the research students as optional to
them because of their busy schedule and honoring their will to participate in this
project. Although They will be using the new facility but their influence is
minimal.

`c
c
Internal communication among project manager and team member will face
hurdles due to varying schedules of all members. For a successful project,
healthy communication between team members is the key.

c ' 


 c-##  #c
c
The responsibility of project members and the project manager are assumed is
to put every effort for healthy and fruitful communication without any bias. And In
the event of some error or change due to any reason, right the correct
communication via the appropriate medium should be circulated.

From the owner¶s side, it is assumed that Dr. Lipsett will notify the project
manager in case of any changes in his expectations or the projects environment
of project.

c ' 


 c"##c
c
]ommunication lapse with the stakeholders is the biggest risk, as the number of
stakeholders is very few small; so everyone requires a good amount of
attention.

]ommunication with research students is restricted to their choice which might


hinder the project managers understanding of their expectations. As they will be
using the new facility, their opinions matters.

Dr. Lipsett¶s busy schedule poses as a risk due to delay communication delay in
the project.

A communication gap among project team can hamper the project integrity.

Slow communication or approval from University authority can delay the project
schedule.

availability.

The layout planned for the new lab will be conveyed in an engineering drawing
in standard format of ]hrome engineering via hard copies and auto-cad
drawing.

Meetings with Roger Marchand will be used to fully understand the process of
moving the heavier equipment transportation. Schedule planning will depend
upon this activity.

Reports on the moving schedule will be provided to Roger for execution


activities and reminders through email.

Team members will have weekly meetings or more for discussing the progress
and scheduling their activities.

Online conference on ³skype´ will be used as and when required for team
communication. The team will be using a facebook group on ³facebook´ the
social networking website for communicating. Team will use www.scribd.com in
combination with scribd (www.scribd.com) for sharing documents and internal
team updates.

Utilizing available human resources to the fullest extent is crucial to ensuring the
project is completed within schedule and budgetary requirements. Many human
resource assets have been provided through the University of Alberta at no cost
to the project owner. These specific assets will be heavily relied upon due to
their inherent financial advantages.

Assumptions made during the development of the ]ost Management Plan:

I. The laboratory technicians will remain available and free of cost as was
communicated to the project team by the University of Alberta.

II. The budget approved by the project owner will remain the same
throughout the project subject to no minimization.

III. The laboratory technicians who have been contacted by the project team
will remain employees of the University of Alberta during the entire span
of the project. This ensures that no additional labour will need to be
brought in at additional cost.

IV. The researchers involved and working under Dr. Lipsett will not be
compensated for moving their own possessions to the new laboratory.

V. The researchers will not take any unplanned extended leaves of


absence or permanently relocate during the relocation phase of the
project. This will ensure no sub-contractors will be required to move their
possessions.

VI. Researchers have accurately catalogued their needs, equipment, and


availability.

VII. The durations of the tasks will not exceed the estimated durations by a
factor of 30% as that is the reserve allocated to the project budget.

VIII. The reserve will be owned by Dr. Lipsett.

?c
c
IX. No structural, chemical, or electrical deficiencies will arise during the lab
migration process which will need to be absorbed by the project team¶s
budget.

c ' #c' ##c


c
Dr. Lipsett has set the budget at $10 000. This sum includes contingency funds
and is the absolute maximum available for this project. These funds are to be
allocated according to the project team¶s discretion and are to be utilized only
when necessary and in a conservative manner.

c ' #c"##c


c
Under the proposed plan the cost risks associated with this project are minimal.
In addition, the majority of the work will be conducted through utilizing the
University of Alberta¶s assets at no cost to the project. These assets, such as
laboratory technicians, will be heavily relied upon and will greatly reduce the
cost of this project. The budget has been divided into two separate accounts,
the primary account and the contingency account. The primary account will
amount to $7500 leaving the remaining $2500 as a contingency which further
mitigates the cost risk.

The project has one source of funding which has been provided by the project
owner Dr. Lipsett. All changes as well as approvals are to be discussed with Dr.
Lipsett. The projects organizational constraints are minimal limited to contacting
Dr. Lipsett to release the required funds to the project team. The project
manager must approve all funding requests prior to bringing them to the
attention of Dr. Lipsett. The project team is not faced with any fiscal year
constraints and funding will be spent on an ³as needed´ basis.

The project team will be utilizing bottom-up estimating due to the high level of
accuracy inherent to this method. Each phase of the project will be analysed at
the work package level to develop the greatest level of specified detail. This
method is ideal for this project as the complexity of the costs, expenses, and
budget in general is low.
Online catalogues have provided detailed costs for the materials which will be
acquired. These and all other costs will be review by the project manager and
then submitted for approval by Dr. Lipsett. The nature of the project and the aid

?ac

of the owner Dr. Lipsett for expert cost advice has resulted in a comprehensive
cost estimation.

 c ')#c c)cc
c
Budget reviews as well as changes are initially brought to the attention of the
project manager. Prior to addressing the project manager, documentation
outlining the need as well as associated research regarding the budgetary
change must accompany the change request. If the budgetary change is
approved by the project manager it is then through the project manager brought
to the attention of the project owner Dr. Lipsett for final approval.

Supporting material required to accompany a change request includes a formal


quotation from a supplier or written requests received for a stakeholder group.
]ost changes to approved materials, services and or products after the initial
estimation will require supporting documentation such as catalogue references
or formal quotations. The approved budget changes will be reflected in the cost
baseline immediately after final approval.

$c ' #c*< c7

c
Any work that has been completed which has an associated budgetary expense
is to be documented on an expense sheet. Expense sheets can be found in
Appendix 13.11. The expense sheet includes an area which specifies the
estimated baseline cost and an area which indicates if the work completed has
been done on, below, or above budget. These expense sheets are to be
completed by the project team member overseeing that particular area of work.

%c ' #c" c

Earned value analysis, planned value analysis, as well as actual cost will be
used as tools to help identify and quantify completion of the project. The cost
reporting tools along with the layout in the form of an s-curve diagram can be
seen in

]ost variance will be analyzed as a performance measure and will determine
the cost performance of the project. The cost variance threshold will be kept in
the positive and will not fall below -10% of the baseline. This threshold will apply
to all aspects of the project. The project team member who was selected to
complete and compile the cost reports is Lukasz Glistak. The reports will be
submitted on a weekly basis to the project manager for review who will then
address and update the project owner Dr. Lipsett.

The weekly reports will be reviewed by the project manager and if necessary a
budgetary change request may be filed. The project documents will be updated
and will include a new cost baseline. This process allows the project team to
closely monitor the budget and inform and update the project owner of the
projects status. The information contained in the report will help to ensure the
project is on track and proceeding as planned while also being used as an early
warning system for budgetary problems. The reports will also provide the project
manger measure against which to judge the financial health of the project.
Reserve spending will also be conducted based on these cost reports.

 &c ' #c' # c


c
The final cost summary will include a comparison of the actual cost vs. the initial
baseline cost estimated at the beginning of the project. The baseline S-curve will
be plotted with the actual cost S-curve. Graphically this will help to illustrate
areas in which the project preformed the best as well as poorest. This
comparison will provide the project team and the project manager valuable
information as to which areas of future projects will require greater attention to
detail or a more substantial allocation of the project reserve. The resulting data
will be archived as a collection of images in succession illustrating the
development of the project form a cost perspective. Below each image will be a
table which will display the Earned value analysis, planned value analysis,
actual cost, and ]ost variance.

Project costs have been determined using the mean cost of each item. Item cost
research has been conducted in a manner that ensures each item is readily
available for the anticipated project window. The items listed in Table 9 are
available locally and can be acquired within 24 hours. ]ost estimates for the
project are good for 60 days after the date the report is accepted. Due to the
nature of the contracts between the project team, the University of Alberta, and
the client Dr. Lipsett, all labour expenses excluding the cleaning sub-contractor
have been obtained at no cost to the project. The total cost for the project has
been determined to be $1,330.00.

The anticipated costs and expenses will be incurred largely at the onset of the
project. The sub-contracting as well as all of the procurement will occur in the
opening phase of the project. This will provide the project team with a clear

?c

indication of the accuracy of the project cost estimates as well as ample time to
address any discrepancies. The project budget provided by the client was
$10,000.00 and of that sum a contingency of $2,500.00 was set aside. Based on
Table 9, it is highly unlikely that the contingency belonging to the client will need
to be used. Of the $7,500.00, only %17.7 is anticipated be required to complete
the project. Note, this cost estimates is subject to change requests.

All required deliverables were met. However one of the desireables desirables in the
project was not met. The desirable our team was unable to implement was the move of
the slurry pipeline located in ME] E 2-14

In the project desirables of the project charter was the movement of a slurry pipeline
from ME] E 2-14 into the new lab. This was proposed by Dr. Lipset with the
understanding that this may not be a feasible move. We added it to our list of
desirables to analyze its practicality.
We did a quantitative analysis (see Section 19) of the spacial requirements of the slurry
line vs. the space available in the new lab as well as the other projects requirements in
terms of lab space and found that it was not feasible to move this item into the new lab.
This was the only proposed movement from ME] E 2-14 thus if we removed the slurry
pipeline from documentation we were no longer required to include this room in our
plans for the move.

We met with the client and discussed the situation. We described the options available
to him. It was suggested that removing the slurry line would also lead to improvements
to time and cost of the schedule and budget. The client was amenable to the situation
and approved the change to the project scope.

The guiding principals behind this project was were organized using the fundamental
methodologies of PMI. PMI is an excellent tool for project management. We have
found however that PMI is more of a guideline. It is important to judiciously decide
what applies to our specific project environment. To be more specific, every project
has its own intricacies may not be optimally handled by one size fits all solution.

For our project we included an 'intermediate' project report deliverable. This was not a
customer specific requirement however we found this to be an excellent method for
dividing the project into smaller segments. This made the project easier to manage
and simpler to understand and work with. This also allowed us to have more feedback
from Dr. Lipsett on the direction of the project development. Breaking these larger
tasks into smaller task makes their completion crucial in meeting the projects final
deadline.

The risk management plan may be written by a single person, but it is important to
include the project team, the stakeholders, the client, as well as an expert to ensure
that all necessary risks have been identified, and that all necessary measures are
being put into place to mitigate and control these risks throughout the duration of the
project.

Every project will encounter unforeseen difficulties and unexpected project


requirements. It is important therefore during the planning stages to recognize that

scope creep can occur in the later stages of the project and so additional time should
be allocated to address the creep.

To communicate with a larger base of stakeholders we used surveys over e-mail.


However we found that e-mail can be an inefficient means for interacting with
Stakeholders. They won't necessarily respond right away. It easily gets lost. Even
when it is successfully received it tends to lead to miscommunication. It may be
difficult at times to reach various stakeholders and at times e-mail may be a necessary
means to reach stakeholders. However it is far more preferable to meet with
stakeholders face to face whenever possible.

In the original project charter one of the desirables was the relocation of the slurry-
pipeline in ME] E 2-14 to the new laboratory. We were required to qualitatively
analyze this desirable to determine its feasibility. This section includes the details of
that analysis.

The shaker table is already in the lab and its equipment panels cannot be physically
moved. The hydraulic cabling for the Shaker Table limit how far it can be moved away
from the equipment Panel (3-5ft at best). This limits where the slurry pipeline could
theoretically be placed.

The slurry-pipeline cannot block major exits as this would create a safety hazard in the
lab.

Given these constraints only a few positions and orientations of the slurry-pipeline are
possible in the lab space.

%c c"6 #c

Analysing the spatial requirements for 12 researchers, including a ³clean area´


environment for analytical work and a ³dirty area´ section for hands on work we find
that given the dimensions of the slurry pipeline there simply isn¶t enough space
available to meet this desirable in addition to all other project requirements. The cause
of this limitation is in part the volume of space needed for these requirements and also
in part because of the constraints on ³useable space´ dictated by section 19.3.

In this section we explore the possibility of including the slurry pipeline in the lab by
examining possible locations and seeing what requirements would have to be removed
to fit the slurry-pipeline in the lab.

Moving the slurry-pipeline into the new lab will lead to a failure to meet 40% of project
requirements. Since this has been presented to our project team as a desirable and
not a project requirement we recommend against the move of the slurry pipeline into
the new lab space.
