PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. Project overview
The paper mainly reflects on set up of a relaxation area at ECU Joondalup that is
adjacent to the Pine Cinemas. It is found that the project that is mainly undertaken generally
needs permanent seating area, shades, paving, bins, lightening as well as a sand volleyball
court. It is found that the relaxation area set up will be completed successfully within the time
period of 107 days by utilizing budget of around 321,880.
2. Requirement gathering
The requirements that are associated with the project are generally gathered with the
help of the methods that are mainly illustrated below:
Brainstorming: Brainstorming is one of the requirement gathering method that is
mainly utilized in order to gather ideas from different group of people so that the relaxation
area that is set up in the Joondalup area can meet the needs and requirements of the clients
(Hornstein, 2015). In addition to this, the brainstorming method is mainly utilized in order to
determine ways that are very much important for successfully achieving success from the
project.
Survey: Survey is also undertaken in order to gathering ideas as well as views of the
customers about the setup of a relaxation area in Joondalup in order to design the area in such
a way that it would provide proper service to the customers by meeting the requirements of
the customers.
Interview: Interviewing the users as well as stakeholders are considered as one of the
important as well as critical step in order to gather requirements for the project set up
(Badewi, 2016). It is identified that without proper information as well as knowledge about
the project goals and objectives, it is quite difficult to satisfy the customers by fulfilling their
needs and requirements.

3. Estimation
It is found that the budget of the project “setting up relaxation area at ECU Joondalup”
will be estimated with the help of three point estimation technique. The three point estimation
is one of the tool that is utilized for cost estimation for increasing the accuracy of the cost
estimation (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). The three point estimation generally includes three
types of estimation that include optimistic estimate, pessimistic estimation as well as most
likely estimation. As per the three point estimation technique, it is found that budget of
around $319959 is generally required for setting up the relaxation area near the Pines
Cinema.
