1.0 Introduction
Showground Station is the underground rapid transit stations which are being built by
Metro Trains Sydney consortium at the Doran Drive. It is a part of Transport of NSW’s Sydney
metro Northwest project. They are providing train services to the passengers those are planned to
take trains to go to their destination. The proposed modifications into the Showground Station
are included site offices and amentias, car parking, workshops, stores, laydown and water
treatment plant.
The project management plan is included project baseline in addition to project
subsidiary plans. There is analyzing of different project plans which are used for successful
completion of modifications into the showground station. Scope, schedule and cost management
plans are provided so that the project can assemble with its development requirements, complete
within schedule time as well as estimate the budget mandatory to complete the development
work of the development related to the showground stations.
2.0 Project baseline
The project baseline is key significant element of the project management as without the
project baseline there is no required to measure the performance and there is no earned value
analysis for the project work. There are three main project baselines which are summarized in
this project plan such as schedule baseline, cost baseline and scope baseline.

5PROJECT MANAGEMENT
2.1 Schedule baseline
Kerzner and Kerzner (2017) stated that the schedule baseline is approved schedule of the
project plan which is being agreed by the project team members before the project can start. It is
a measurement of the schedule as planned against progress on the actual schedule to be
measured. In this modifications project plan of showground station, Sydney the schedule
baseline is used for analyzing the performance of project as well as report to the schedule
variances.
Name Duration
Project initiation phase 46 days
Project Planning Phase 190 days
Project execution phase 155 days
Project monitoring and controlling phase 83 days
Project Closure phase 26 days
2.2 Cost baseline
Larson and Gray (2017) discussed that the cost baseline is part of the project baseline
which can handle the total amount of cost is to be predicted based on the project requirements
and capitals required to complete the plan in scheduled time period. It is approved project budget
into the time distribution format so that there is monitoring and controlling the cost performance
of the development plan. The total expected cost of the project is $668,720.

Project initiation phase $50,640.00 $50,640.00
Project Planning Phase $229,040.00 $229,040.00

2.3 Scope baseline
Fleming and Koppelman (2016) illustrated that the scope baseline is a part of the project
lifecycle so that it includes project scope documents, work breakdown structure and project
goals, objectives which are required to complete the development plan. The scopes of this project
are as follows:
 The development is to be completed in schedule time of 500 days.
 The cost assigned to the project is to be $668,720.
 Water treatment plant
 Procurement of the raw materials
 Installation of the plant

3. Project subsidiary plans
3.1 Scope management plan
This plan is an aspect of the project management as it assists the project manager to
identify the project boundaries, objectives as well as goals of the project plan. It is important to
provide positive results to the project. The purpose of this project plan is to develop as well as
modify the best quality of Showground station which has capacity to make improvement into the
facilities and amentias (Harrison and Lock 2017). Following are the objectives of the project
work such as:
 Procurement of the best quality of the raw materials such as water treatment plant,
storage, workshops and others
 Construction of car parking
 Installation of stores and laydown
 Implementation of stable as well as robust, effective system
The scope of this particular project plan is to finish the project work on planned time and
predictable project budget. The out scope of this project plan is to transfer to the site area and
installation of metal roof and best quality of distribution pipes into the Showcase station. The
start date of the project plan is Thu 5/9/19 and end date of the plan is Wed 4/7/21. The estimated
budget of the project plan is calculated to be $668,720; therefore within this project budget the
project manager should finish the work.
The list of the project deliverables are as follows such as:
