001AINTRODUCTIONProject management is the process of managing all activities and transforming inputs intodesired outputs (Kerzner and Kerzner, 2017). The present study is based on St. Croix RiverCrossing Project. One of the main agendas of the government is to provide safe and reliable rivercrossing to the population. Furthermore, by developing this, bridge authority will be able togenerate more job opportunities in the country. Present report will illustrate project charter and itwill also define its purposes. In addition, it will describe elements that needed to be included inmanaging scope plan of project. In addition, it will include Organisational chart and will explainactivities need to be done to manage scope. Limitation of this project is lack of time and poorfinancial resources. Both these thongs will create problem in completing the entire task withinstipulated period of time.1.1 Project backgroundSt. Croix River crossing project is the most essential project of the government. Authoritieshave planned to prepare a bridge for safer transportation. In the year 1970, authorities havesuggested this project but due to lack of financial resources, it was not approved. Later on, in theyear 2010, Supplemental Final Environmental Impact Statement (SFEIS) had shed light on thisconstruction project again (Fleming and Koppelman, 2016). Width of actual bridge is planned100 feet and it would be hybrid of a cable -stayed and segmental box bridge structure.1.2 Project charter and purposeProject titleSt. Croix River crossing projectScopeThe four lane bridge will be constructed overriver at present location. It will be converted tobicycle facility.ObjectivesMain objective of working on this St. CroixRiver crossing project is to control over hightraffic volume. Due to increasing traffic issues,transport from one place to other take toomuch time. This situation gets worst during theseasonal time when many tourists come to thislocation (Verzuh, 2015). This makes local1
population and tourists frustrated. Authoritieshave planned to construct this bridge so thattraffic can be controlled and accidents can beminimised. Stakeholders are aiming to provide safetransport facilities to local people in budgetfriendly manner. Another objective of this project is to improveenvironmental conditions by minimisedpollution (Turner, 2016). Generation of more job opportunities is thepurpose of this project. Goal of SFEIS was todevelop new crossing bridge withoutcompromising the trust.Risk and dependenciesFinancial RiskHuman Resource RiskScheduling RiskTechnical Risk1.3 Project typesThere are various types of projects: civil engineering, manufacturing and managementprojects. Civil or construction projects are generally conducted by large industries. It requireshuge investment. For example, warship, IT, customer call centre etc are related withconstruction projects. Furthermore, manufacturing projects generally work to produce equipmentor designed hardware (Scope management plan, 2018). Such type of activities is able to generaterevenues in the business unit. Whereas management projects are related with activities in whichfirms plan to relocate their branches or make changes in their existing practices. For example:improvement in accounting process, changes in software etc. 2
1.4 Project fits with the definition of projectProject can be defined as activities that are made to achieve specific objectives. St. CroixRiver crossing project is completely a pure project. Team is working for accomplishingobjectives (Fleming and Koppelman, 2016). There are technical experts who continuouslyconcentrate on completing this bridge in an efficient manner. The main aim of St. Croix Rivercrossing project is to generate revenue and to control over traffic issues. Project manager hasinvolved expert people in this activity so that it can meet with objectives. Hence, it is completelya pure project which has specific starting and finishing date (Turner, 2016). 1.5 Organisational chartSt. Croix River crossing project is completely a unique concept that helps in makingconnection between Minnesota and Wisconsin.
