PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Introduction
The project mainly reflects on fitout of a medium rise office building in the suburb of
Sydney whose previous project manager “Tony Faultier” left his job suddenly and moved
overseas. In order to progress with the project, the company hired a new project manager so
that he can be able to communicate properly with the project stakeholders for gathering
information about the project progress as well as current status. The estimated budget for the
project is around $1.2M and it is assumed that that the fitout of the entire office building will
be completed within 4 months. The success of the fitout project must be determined by the
management of the company with the help of three components which includes design,
budget as well as time.
The paper illustrates the project current status including the cost variances as well as
schedule variances of the project. The paper also elaborates the significance of leadership
behaviour within the project. Furthermore, the paper helps in providing an overview about
the present project team with appropriate recommendations in context to changes within the
project policies as well as within the work processes of the project environment.
