PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. Implementation Plan
The project of “Australian Storage Facility” will be implemented successfully if
following conditions are present.
Management Structure: The management of the organization plays an important role
in successful implementation of the project. The management utilizes projectised structure
according to which the project manager have proper authority over the Australian Storage
facility project (Schwalbe, 2015). They generally have the authority to set proper project
priorities, apply resources and to direct the team members of the project in their work so that
they can be able to finish the project work within the probable budget and time. All the
project team members mainly reported to the project manager and after the project
completion, the resources will be generally re-assigned to another project (Mir & Pinnington,
2014). The project manager handles as well as manages each of the project phase effectively
for making the project implementation successful.
Style and Culture: According to Kerzner (2017), organizational culture is mainly
associated with the rate of project success in number of areas including time management,
training process management style and more. Organizational style and culture of the large
multinational oil company mainly comprises of reward system, motivation, work ethic, social
norms, leadership, risk tolerance as well as shared mission and vision statement of the project
(Hornstein, 2015). All this factors helps in implementing the Australian tank facility
successfully within the estimated budget as well as time.
Levels and boundaries for authority and autonomy: There are certain boundaries as
levels for the entire project team so that they can able work effectively. It is found that as per
the needs as well as requirements of the project, the project is mainly categorized into number
of departments (Svejvig & Andersen, 2015). Every department has a leader who manages as

help is needed by the other team then it must be approved by the higher authority of the
organization (Sears et al., 2015).
Personal skills: The personal skills of the team members also plays a significant role
in implementing the project successfully within the expected due date. The personal skills
that are needed mainly include leadership, communication, scheduling, risk management,
handling project during difficult time, cost management, ability to manage the project quality
as well as the activities of the project (Todorovic et al., 2015). If the project manager is

completed within the expected budget and time. They must be able to resolve both business
as well as technical issues that is associated with the project by potentially taking an
important step (Joslin & Muller, 2015). Proper as well as essential project management skills
