2PGBM 48 PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. Identification of specific project
The project that has been selected for this study is “Bungalow Houses Construction”
in Penang, one of the most renowned places of Malaysia. The project involved construction
of bungalow house in the outskirts of Penang Island. The bungalow houses serve as tourist
destination so that the visitors could feel comfortable and enjoy their stay at the island. This
project was undertaken by Ong Han Meng Construction Sdn Bhd which is one of the major
construction companies located in Penang. This project comprised of major five phases that is
initiation, planning, execution, controlling or monitoring and closure.
2. Identification of SOW or project charter
The project being selected for this study, included a SOW rather than project charter
due to which there was difficulty to evaluate the project. The SOW is a formal document that
involves definition of the scope of entire work for the vendor or contractor so that they could
have detailed information about deliverables, costs as well as timeline (Kerzner and Kerzner
2017). It is required in cases where a project has involvement of vendors, external
contributors along with internal project team. It is essential that a SOW have to be clear such
that there is clear information to the stakeholders about the success metrics and avoidance of
issues that may arise due to deliverables, costs or timeline.
The SOW for the project included the following contents as illustrated below:
Deliverables – It comprises of outcomes that will be achieved from the project along
with due dates for each deliverable.
Required activities and assigning of tasks – It involved determining the individual
tasks that are required to achieve each deliverable and assigning responsibilities to the project
team members (Harrison and Lock 2017).
