PLANNING METHODS AND APPROACHES FOR HEATHROW BAGGAGE HANDLING PROJECT2
1. Comparison and Contrast over the Planning Methods and Approaches
The present project is based on designing an IT system based baggage handling system
for Heathrow Terminal 3 Project. The design of the IT system would establish an effective and
sophisticated baggage handling system in the entire world. In order to plan for the project, there
would be a need for delivering an innovative system within a four-storey building (Shanghavi et
al. 2017). A major kind of stakeholder participation would also be required to manage the entire
process of delivering the project within the estimated time and budget.
Based on the consideration of the principles and objectives of Heathrow Baggage
Handling project, the planning methods and approaches, which could be recommended for the
project management team are:
1. Brainstorming – This planning method can be defined as an effective technique
within the project development sector. With the help of this technique, the project managers
would be able to think about new kind of creative processes based on lateral and random
thinking. The use of brainstorming planning method would be helpful for designing a controlled
environment within the project.
2. Cause and Effect Diagrams – This planning method is used for project planning
based on identification of issues and gathering enough requirements for analysing over the
problems. This diagrammatic technique is also used for identification of potential sources of all
kinds of problems (Davies, Dodgson and Gann 2016). The diagrams would thus be helpful for
detecting the potential problems, which would affect the quality of a certain output. This tool
could be used for organizing the issues that might be raised during a session of brainstorming.
