Project Management: Swimming Pool Construction in Johannesburg

This project focuses on the construction of a swimming pool in a modern society, specifically within Metropolitan Johannesburg, with a planned completion date of December 10, 2019, and a budget of R1.572000.00. The project team consists of seven members, and the author's role is that of a Project Manager, responsible for preparing the project schedule, cost estimation plan, stakeholder management plan, statement of work, and risk management plan. The project's strategic objective is to design and construct a swimming pool to promote coordination, flexibility, stability, and movement through swimming, particularly catering to elder people who cannot engage in high-impact exercises. The project objectives include successfully constructing the swimming pool within the specified timeframe and budget, meeting the requirements of the Metropolitan society, and prioritizing customer satisfaction. Key stakeholders include the project sponsor (Mr. K.D. Williamson), construction engineers, consultants, architects, and contractors. The project faces risks such as the unavailability of skilled labor and funds, potential delays, and a disordered construction site. Currently, the project is in the initiation phase, with completed activities including the development of a business case, feasibility study, project charter creation, team member appointment, and initiation phase review.
