BSC PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Introduction:
The project management is considered as the practice of initiating, planning, executing,
controlling and closure of the work so that some pre-defined goals can be achieved within some
specific amount of time while satisfying the specific criteria of success (Kerzner, 2017). In
project management, the project manager plays an important role in the successful completion of
a project. Here, I have also played the role of a project manager. I was assigned for a project
where I have done bathroom renovation for my landlord. In this aspect, I will share my
experiences as a project manager regarding the bathroom renovation project. Here, I will also
describe my learnings from the project.
Reflection on the Bathroom Renovation Project:
Considering the life cycle of the project, there was a total of four stages which are the
project initiation, project planning, project execution and project testing. Specifically, for this
project, these four steps are appropriate as there is no chance of testing in this project. Thus, in
my opinion, the initiation of the project was very well. Here, project management’s initiation
phase has successfully identified the project stakeholders and the funding source for the project.
Also, the success criteria for the project and important deliverable for the project has been
developed. Assumptions related to the project and acceptance criteria for the project has been
identified in this project initiation phase. Thus, I think the overall initiation phase for the project
was actually good.
The subsequent phase regarding the project was the planning phase. Several of important
steps need to be taken in the planning phase of a project (Harris et al., 2018). In this section
project scope has been demonstrated, and a timeline for the project has had. The list of required

resources has been also developed in this context. Also, bathroom rendering has been done in the
planning section. All the important steps have been followed in project planning. So, from an
overall perspective, the planning phase of the project went quite well.
The following phase regarding bathroom renovation project was the execution phase
(Tonchia, 2018), and it was actually completed in two phases which were the development phase
and the installation phase. In the development phase of the project first, the supplier of the raw
material was contacted and following that contractors were contacted. Also, disposal planning
was done in this phase. From my perspective, this phase of the project was average as time
consumption was much higher in this phase while the out was low. Following the development
phase, the installation phase was executed. In this phase first, the electrical appliances were
installed and following that plumbing is done. Also, in this phase, the flooring is completed, the
shower and the bathtub were installed, and the toilet was installed. As per me, this phase of the
project was not efficient. This phase took a long time to complete, which I think delayed the
whole project. So, as per me, there were lots of areas that could have been improved in the
installation phase.
The last phase of the project was the closure phase (Pratt, 2018). Six important tasks were
performed in this phase. Here, invoicing is done, and bills of raw materials and contractors have
been calculated. Following that payment has been done against all the bills that are generated and
project sign off is completed. The whole process was completed quickly, and the minimum time
was consumed in this phase. Thus, as per my consideration, the phase of the bathroom
renovation project was quite efficient and it executed very well.
A project charter is crucial so that a project can be completed successfully (Mark &
Lurie, 2018). The project charter that has been created for the project is quite good and is
