IMPLEMENTATION OF LEAN PROJECT MANAGEMENT (LPM)2
1. Selection and Explanation of Project Management Processes
The management of a project can be defined as a complex process as it deals with
managing different aspects such as development of a project plan and managing each of the
issues in relation to project planning and future success criteria. In order to determine the best
practices of determining every aspect of project, the use of effective method of project
management techniques and methodologies should be need to be considered (Mir & Pinnington,
2014). Based on choosing the proper form of project management strategies and methods, the
Project Management Institute (PMI) had proposed the Project Management Book of Knowledge
(PMBOK).
The PMBOK provides a certain kind of structured approach that helps in the analysis of
the resources, project needs and the scheduling approach to project management. The primary
components within the management of project can be thus discussed as the comprehensive and
effective approach based on project management and other form of subsequent methods.
Managing of the different processes that are followed within the management of project can be
defined as highly crucial in nature. In case of construction projects, there are several involved
tasks, which would require a high expertise knowledge in order to ensure successful achievement
of project ideas.
Construction projects mainly deal with several aspects such as choosing of a location,
signing of contracts with developers, builders and land officials. The construction engineer
would then be permitted to follow different rules based on construction and development of a
proper construction plan that would help the labours to develop and construct the project
(Walker, 2015). Based on the developmental aspect of the construction project, it can be
discussed that the use of a wide range of project management practices as described within the
PMBOK guide would majorly help the construction managers, owners and project managers to
develop the project as per the desired criteria.
1.1 Choosing of Suburb Region
In the case of the present project criteria, it has been discussed that the choosing of the
proper suburb region and deciding the land size would be highly crucial for deciding the later
aspects of the project. The project discusses the aspect of choosing of a location in which a

construction project based for the purpose of development of a house is being considered. A
proper location would need to be chosen based on aligning with the suitable project management
standards and methodologies (Ramazani & Jergeas, 2015). The choice of the suburb region
should be based on a proper manner based on considering the aspects of cost factors and
considering that the land would be approved by the Keystart initiative. Based on considering the
loan aspects, cost factors, suitability of the suburb region and many others, the region that would
be selected is Highgate. This initiative has been defined and proposed by the Government of
Western Australia.
1.2 Deciding over Land Size
The region is situated at a distance of two kilometres at the north-east direction of Perth
in CBD. The Highgate region is considered as a suburb within the inner part of the city. The
close proximity of the city helps the people to have shorter times of transit. The availability of
public transport is at a distance of seven metres based on driving facilities (Heralova, 2014). The
Highgate region is considered as the most popular region that offers 70% of their residents to
close access to various parklands. 67% of residents residing within the city would also have easy
form of access to facilities based on education, healthcare sectors and market regions. The land
size that would be required to build a suitable room was based on focusing over the fact that
there would be minimum 2 rooms, 1 bathroom and 1 kitchen would incur a land size of 900
square feet. The selection of the land and the consideration of the size would be considered as
one of the most crucial factor for constructing a suitable home (Govindan, Shankar & Kannan,
2016). The facilities that would be available in the surrounding regions should also be considered
during the choosing of home.
1.2 Choosing of best Builder
The PMBOK guide mainly deals with the recognition of different standards based on
project management practices that would fit within the industry and help in successful
accomplishment of project standards. The PMBOK guide helps in successful management of
project lifecycle from the initiation stage till its completion. It helps in describing various
processes that would often adopted by managers for managing the idea of construction (Mention,
2018). The PMBOK guide provides different kind of knowledge areas with respect to
management of human resources within the project. Based on the development of the idea for
