Question 1 (a)
1. The nominated projects
According to given scenario, the organization is operating business in engineering
sector and offering the services related to construction and asset management. The board of
members of organization has offered the three different projects to increase the performance
and operational efficiency to meet the objectives of clients more customized manner. There
are total five projects in the program and two out of the five well towards satisfactory results
and remaining three are requiring attention. Following are the remaining projects that going
to be completed by project management organization:
Project A:
Project A is a small but complex project as it involves the sub-systems to develop the
asset management information system for organization. The BGC construction organization
is looking to handover the project to the specialized organization in project management that
has good knowledge about the IT-related project development as well information technology
for staff. The aim of project team would be a successful delivery of project by considering all
requirements of a client organization (Fuller and et al., 2017. Para 2). As per the given
scenario, the small project does not have well-defined directions and senior management is
looking for changes in the scope of managing the internal process of BGC construction
organization. In the project, numerous change control procedure are poor that need to be
fixed by the project manager to resolve the issues of the client organization.
Project B:
The second project is related to the development of facility in a remote area for the
BGC construction organization. The project is based on Earned value analysis and it shows
that the project is not achieving its planned cost and targets. For managing the project
operations and development of the facility, the organization has arranged specialized major
components from international suppliers. The issue that are affecting this project progress is
the delay in supply of components which may not be manufactured and transported by sea
according to a schedule of the project. However, the organization has ordered the components
several months ago but the delay in supply influencing the cost and time of completing the
1

project. The project manager will look to identify the gaps and purpose of the project to
manage the risk and meet the defined outcome (Harrison and Lock, 2017, Para. 6). The
frequent changes in financial outcome and lack of skilled labour are one of the major
problems for the organization to meet the objectives of engineering discipline.
Project C:
This project is a planning, design and implementation of infrastructure for the BGC
construction organization. The residents of areas are concerned with the impact of the project
for a slow-growing orchid that has potential medicinal value. The residents are more concern
about the implementation of rules and regulations for protecting environment and
management of waste control for the project. The development of property and destruction of
bush land will change the fabric of the region and create the threat to society (Gollenia, 2016,
Para 7). The organization is taking consult from Citizen Action Committee which determines
to prevent the project from succeeding that is also well funded and ready for any court battle.
These kinds of threats are affecting the progress of the project to meet the satisfactory
outcome. According to given scenario, the major areas of lacking for this particular project
are sustainability, stakeholder management and development of infrastructure in the
environmentally sensitive area. The alternative of this project is also controversial and the
delay in the project will cause additional $3 million.
Organization:
The board of director of the BGC construction organization has changed and the new
directors are concern about development and achievement of strategic direction by focusing
on business cases and well-defined project charters. The aim of the board to minimize risks in
the project as well manages the project according to engineering discipline of the
organization. The stakeholder management practices of the organization are also poor and
influencing the business objectives of the organization to commit the sustainable project
management practices.
2. Features of the selected projects
Project A:
The current project of developing an asset management information system for the
BGC construction organization is going to help in the achievement of the strategic direction
2

of the organization for increasing the planning, collection, analysis and sharing of the data
internally. The objective of developing and implementing this technical system is to improve
the communication among staff and encourage the capacity of the organization to make
optimum utilization of resources at the workplace (Heagney, 2016, Para 10). According to
given scenario, the cost of project A is $3 million and estimated time of completing all tasks
is one year. The work of the project is already started and current expenditure is 35%. The
quality standards that considered for developing asset management information system are
ISO 9001 that involve design, components, development and implementation of the whole
system. The project team and board of directors are concern about quality in information
technology system. The key stakeholders of this project are a project manager, team
members, and staff of the organization, supplier as well, owner (Freeman and et al., 2017, pp.
1-12).
The project manager will try to engage all stakeholders in managing tasks more
customized manner and achievement of objectives by anticipating their interest and capacity.
Additionally, the risk in the project is related to scheduling of tasks, engagement of
stakeholders as poor coordination with them is affecting quality and progress of the system.
The project of developing asset management system will not affect the surrounding and
social environment. The project is large and involves various subsystems that need to be
integrated with the main server for managing the flow of information and collection of data.
The involvement of numerous phases in project and subsystem is increasing the level of
complexity and creating a threat for project management team to achieve the objectives
(Kaiser and et al., 2015, pp. 126-139). In spite of that, factors like changes in scope lack of
change control request and lack of communication in sharing of information affect the
progress. To overcome these issues, coordination and planning is essential for the project
team.
Project B:
The development of facility in the remote area is coherence with the strategic
direction of the BGC construction organization that includes the improvement in engineering
functions and encourages the planning and execution of the plan. The estimated cost and time
of project B is $8 million and 2 years. The project team will look forward to completing the
project within given time and cost that will help to increase their brand value and meet the
satisfaction level of the client organization. The organization has made ordered for
3

components that used for developing facility in the remote area of the organization as per the
required quality that include the various software and hardware (Joslin and Müller, 2016, pp
364-388). According to given case, the project of developing facility in the remote area is 25
% completed. The major issues that identified in the project are lack of monitoring and
control over functions that affect the cost of the project. For the project, key stakeholders are
employees of the organization, investors, project manager and supplier from overseas
locations. As per the Earned Value analysis, the development of facility in the remote area is
having risks of changes in exchange rate, lacking in scheduling, planning of cost and unstable
financial conditions (Kelly and Chisholm, 2017, pp, 126-139).
The project manager is also aware of these issues and looking to develop the strategy
that supports to manage the issues for successful completion of the project. The development
of facility in the remote area will not affect the environmental and social condition. The
management of information through the remote area will increase the effectiveness of
organization and support to meet the business objectives. This project does not involve
various stages and subsystem for developing the facility in a remote area that lower the level
of complexity and maintain a fixing process. However, the lacking in scheduling and
planning of the activities of the project as well delay in the supply of components from
overseas locations in influencing standards and cost of the project (Kerzner, 2017, Para. 8). In
addition to this, issues of expensive labor and development of advanced technical areas are a
big task for the project team to maintain high quality in operations. The integration of project
changes with the scope and lack of flow in funds for managing tasks. The development of
remote area facility is requiring the use of advanced technology and knowledge to manage
the operations of the organization as per the strategic direction of the BGC construction
organization. The significant factors of the project involve consideration of the negative
impact on staff members and stakeholder to maintain the relationship (Lock, 2017, Para. 14).
Project C:
The key feature of project C which is for planning, design and implementation of
infrastructure include improvement in monitoring and control over organizational activities.
The BGC organization is looking for advanced technical support and improvement in the
planning of business case objectives. The cost of this project is $20 million and completion
time is four years. The project team will follow ISO 9001 standards for managing quality and
meet the satisfaction level of client organization this kind of approach will help to encourage
4

the functionality of the project. The completion percentage is not mentioned in the case
scenario but the project is going under the supervision of project team which looking to meet
the strategic direction of client organization as per their engineering discipline (Martin, and
Haggerty, 2017, Para. 11). The key stakeholders of this particular project are the employee of
the organization, project manager, supplier and investors that are taking active participation
in planning and implementation of the project. The risk factors that involve in the project of
development and implementation of infrastructure involve lack of analysis and consideration
of stakeholder needs, negative impact to the environment, high labor rate as well health and
safety of workers at the site (Medina and Medina, 2014, pp. 1459-1470).
Moreover, the governing risk like approval from Citizen Action Committee can also
influence the working discipline of the organization. Apart from that, the impact of this
project on the environment is vital as the use of resources and improper management of waste
material could affect the environmental condition and impact the social living environment
for local people. The level of complexity is high for this project as it involves large numbers
of stakeholders and estimated time is long. The factors that required to be considered for
managing the project successfully are the management of human resources, proper
consideration of needs of stakeholders and citizen committee to improve the sustainability of
the project. If the project team considered these objectives in the proposed manner will help
to increase the effectiveness of the project (Nicholas and Steyn, 2017, Para. 21). In addition
to this, the integration of project involves analysis and change in project scope, planning and
forecasting of cost for upcoming years to meet the quality. The significant factors of the
project design, planning and implementation of infrastructure involve medicinal value,
changes in social fabric and bush land destruction. The use of alternative route will be
controversial and increase the cost up to $3 million which will be not paid by the BGC
construction organization (Sánchez, 2015, pp. 319-330).
3. Review of projects
Project A:
The project is designed and developed for implementing the asset management
information system for the organization that is helpful for managing the engineering
discipline. The main objectives developing this project are to improve the change control
procedure and increase the capabilities of the organization by using the information
5

technology. The BGC construction organization is facing the issue in managing the staff. By
developing the asset management information system the project team will help the
organization to improve the monitoring system that will compile with the subsystems of the
organization. The implementation of advanced technology system will help to encourage
sharing of data and collection of an information system for future decision making (Meng,
and Boyd, 2017, pp. 717-728). The board members are focusing on requirements and
improvement in the efficiency of staff members that will help to increase coordination among
staff members. For the development and implementation of the system, the role of
stakeholders is important as they will provide input for integrating the internal subsystems of
the BGC organization.
The risk factors that are having the influence of requirements of development and
implementation of the system include the changes in scope and scheduling of the tasks. The
changes in requirements and scope are affecting the planning of the project as well the time
of delivery of the project. The project manager is not able to develop a plan for managing the
tasks as well allocation of role and responsibilities to team members as changes in scope
influencing the acceptance (Pace, 2017, Para. 32). The lack of communication and
engagement of stakeholder are major issues that might shape the planning of the asset
management information system. For engagement of stakeholder the project manager and
board members will conduct a meeting which will help to analyze their interest and develop
the plan accordingly. This kind of approach will help to increase the success rate of project
and integration of the system. Accordingly to given scenario, the communication level of
staff and senior management is low that affecting initial planning and development of the
plan.
The consideration of project management principles for the current project will help
to increase the sustainability and project structure. This task is conduct by project manager as
vision and mission of the BGC organization. The business case of engineering organization
involves improvement in client satisfaction by timely delivery of products and services
(Taylor, 2016, pp. 29). For that purpose, development of information technology system is
essential that increase the efficiency and communication among staff members. In addition to
this quality and standards of the project are considered as the highest priority. The
consideration of vision of organization in development and implementation of the system will
increase the transparency in project planning and structuring of activities. The outcome of
this project is craft improvement in communication and sharing of data with employees. The
6

quality standards that considered for this project is ISO 9001 as well aligned with the
strategic direction of the organization (Thiry, 2016, Para. 27).
A good process for managing changes is essential for maintaining the quality of the
project. The change control process is needed for a baseline that can be big, small and
complex. The change control process is agreed before baseline and communicated to all
stakeholders. Moreover, the change control process is backed up by the clearly defined
policies that enforce the consistency in the project. However, sustainability of the project is
good as the project is 35% completed and meeting the quality standards required by the
organization but the lack of coordination and stakeholder management might affect the
overall project outcome for developing asset management information system.
Project B:
This project is related to craft improvement and development of facility in the remote
area to manage the operations of the engineering organization. According to earned value
analysis, the project is not achieving its planned objectives and determined targets. Now, a
task for a project manager is to identify the issues and develop the facility according to needs
and expectations of the BGC organization. The project charter involves delivery of project
according to standards and quality that satisfy the expectations of the engineering
organization. As per the given scenario, the project requires specialized components that are
ordered from overseas suppliers but the delay in delivery of these components is affecting
delivery and cost of the project (Vijayasarathy and Butler, 2016, pp. 86-94). Board members
have sated the orders three months ago but delay in transportation through road and sea has
affected the process. The project plan involves consideration project management principles
such as the use of ISO 9001 standards and intervention and execution of strategy by
analyzing the gaps. The major gaps in this project of developing facility in remote areas are
the engagement of stakeholder and management of quality that meets their interest. The
project manager has taken the note for requirements and distribution of project meeting
minutes for developing the action plan. The plan for managing activities will support project
structure and alignment of operations with the strategic direction of the engineering
organization (Webb, 2017, Para. 24).
The issues that might affect project planning and development involve lack of labor,
the price of human resources and delay in the supply of the resources. Moreover, the risks
that are increasing time and cost of the project of developing facility in a remote area are
7

changes in the exchange rate, lack of financial resources and management of stakeholders.
These are creating barriers for a project manager to complete the tasks in the estimated time.
The delay in supply of components is also hampering the achievement of goals and maintains
the quality. For project manager it is important to analyze these issues and develop the plan to
improve the sustainability of the project as well develops the structure (Bryson, 2017, Para.
31). The proper scheduling is required for managing operation and integration of project.
However, the project is 25% completed till now but the gaps in integrations are affecting the
compliance of project with the business case of an organization. The organization is looking
to maintain high quality and optimum utilization of resources for developing the facility in
remote areas.
To fulfill the requirements of organization the project manager needs to engage the
stakeholders and manage the impact of environment and society. The strategy that
organization could use for managing operations the effective change control process
implementation is essential. The change control process for this project will be a focus on
identification of formal changes that could be made in the project as well analysis of their
impact. These changes and impact will be communicated to all stakeholders and look for
their approval. For the approval, a formal process will be followed by the project manager
that helps in the scheduling of tasks and resources. As the work managed according to
schedule the manager will track the new changes requirements by analyzing the supply of the
elements (Carvalho and Rabechini, 2017, pp. 1120-1132). The last stage of change control
process for this particular project will be the implementation of changes in design and formal
management process. This kind of approach will help to manage project activities according
to terms of cost, time and quality that requested by the engineering organization. In order to
make the decisions, the communication among stakeholders is essential that will increase the
reliability and validity of the system.
Project C:
This project is based on the development of design, plan and implementation of
infrastructure for BGC construction engineering organization. The aim of this project is to
improve the services and communication with the clients. From this project, the client
organization is looking to increase the level of business and expansion of services at overseas
locations. The business case of this project is based on significant utilization of property to
increase the services of the organization. The planning of project will be the focus of the
8

schedule of task, cost and time management as well craft improvement in the sustainability.
The project is going to be implemented in a resident area that will have an impact on the
environment. The rare slow growth of orchid that has potential medicinal value will influence
the undertaking of the project with the consideration of sensitive areas (Cleden, 2017, Para.
24). Moreover, the development of Citizen Action Committee will help to increase the
sustainability of project by having concern over environmental actions. According to given
scenario, the less alternative choices and routes for developing the infrastructure also
hindering opportunities for managing project in the estimated time and cost.
The strategic directions of the organization that considered in project management
will involve communication, monitoring and control over business functions. The decision
making and distribution of resources will be done by project manager by focusing on
objectives as well current conditions of the project. This kind of approach and proper
documentation of operations will help to improve the effectiveness of planning and control
over change management functions of the project. The key stakeholders of this project are a
contractor, supplier, employees and citizens as well as investors. The major tasks of the
project manager are to develop a plan to engage the stakeholders and gain their approval for
managing the operations as per the schedule (Boyle, 2017), Para. 32. The approval and
acceptance from stakeholders will be beneficial for the project manager to increase the
effectiveness and flow of design, planning and implementation. The process of engaging
stakeholder will be done through conducting meetings and interaction with stakeholders. This
will help the manager to gain knowledge about needs and interest of stakeholders and
develop the plan accordingly. The direct communication with stakeholder will improve the
sustainability of project and decision making. The utilization of stakeholder communication
matrix will help to analyze the effectiveness and risks of the project to develop the plan and
manage the services.
The potential risk factors of the project involve short and long-term environmental
and social impact as the project will be initiated in resident area. Now to maintain the
sustainable approach to change control and overcome the impact of issues the project
manager will focus on review and comments of Citizen Action Committee. Moreover, for a
large project of design, planning and implementation the documentation for each activity is
essential. The impact on economic and environmental areas can affect the progress of the
project as well create the issues for managing sustainability. The project manager needs to
make the efforts for planning the functions as well engagement of stakeholders by identifying
9

the alternative functions (Davis, 2014, pp. 189-201). Apart from that, the impact of this
project on the environment is vital as the use of resources and improper management of waste
material could affect the environmental condition and impact the social living environment
for local people.
The level of complexity is high for this project as it involves large numbers of
stakeholders and estimated time is long. To manage the sustainability and gain the success of
the project, the management will use change control process. According to this process, the
analysis of small and major changes in the project will be helpful for meeting the
requirements and satisfaction level of the client organization. The documentation of every
function and initiatives of team members will also help to identify changes as well
communication with the stakeholders (Kivilä and et al., 2017, pp. 1167-1183). For better
change control process involvement of sponsor is important as changes in estimated amount
can play a vital role.
4. Development plan for projects
Project A:
The development of asset management information system is involving various
subsystem and tasks that having a significant impact on the integration. The planning of this
project will consider the project management principles to manage the issues like lack of
communication and improvement in the cost and time. The change control process that
followed by project management team for managing activities of the project will involve
proper documentation, engagement of stakeholders. The project manager will use stakeholder
management matrix for engaging the stakeholder as well gaining knowledge about the
interest and offering the products and services (Martens and et al., 2017, pp. 1084-1102). The
project manager will apply agile project management model for managing the project
activities and proper management of project lifecycle. The agile model will be beneficial for
managing project issues and be meeting the goals and objectives of BGC construction
organization.
According to this project management approach, the requirements will be exhibit
central values and behavior of trust, flexibility as well as collaboration. The project manager
is looking for increasing the accountability and effectiveness of individual for managing
tasks. For integrating the various smaller subsystems, this model will be appropriate. By
10

considering this model, the manager will break the requirements in the smaller piece which
will help to increase monitoring (Schaltegger, and et al., 2017, Para. 12). The agile model is
used for continuous improvement and development of asset management information system
BGC construction organization. In addition to managing the risks and managing relationships
with the stakeholder regular meetings and interaction with them is required. The proper
communication and coordination with stakeholder will support to achieve the desired quality
and minimization of cost. The prior review of requirement and development of scope will be
useful for managing the tasks for information technology. The allocation of resources to team
members according to the structure of project will help to maintain the flow of operations.
As per the given scenario, the small project does not have well-defined directions and senior
management is looking for changes in the scope of managing the internal process of
organization. In the project, numerous change control procedure are poor that need to be
fixed by the project manager to resolve the issues of the client organization (Stark, 2015,
Para. 17).
The involvement of numerous phases in project and subsystem is increasing the level
of complexity and creating a threat for project management team to achieve the objectives.
The consideration of vision of organization in development and implementation of the system
will increase the transparency in project planning and structuring of activities. The outcome
of this project is craft improvement in communication and sharing of data with employees.
Moreover, the change control process is backed up by the clearly defined policies that
enforce the consistency in the project. This kind of planning will help to manage operation
and support to achieve the goals and objectives of BGC construction organization (Turner
2016, Para. 41). Moreover, the project manager will offer training and guidelines to staff
members of BGC construction to utilize the system and contribute in the business case of the
organization through improvement in communication and sharing.
Project B:
The project is about the development of facility in the remote area of BGC
construction organization. The management of the organization is looking to manage the
operations and functions by increasing communication as well utilization of resources in the
best manner. The issues that project manager need to encounter through planning and
management involves the fund management and procurement. The top management people
have sated the order for components several months ago but the delay in supply is affecting
11

the integration and completion of the project. The supply chain management of the
organization is not effective that influencing the cost and time. Now, the project manager will
develop plan and strategy for managing these issues by using some strategies. To maintain
the supply chain strategy the manager will use Just-In-Time approach that will overcome the
delay and improve the significance of delivery (Teller and et al., 2014, pp. 67-80). In addition
to this, to manage the cost of project consideration of cost management strategy and risk
protection will be useful. The waterfall model would be used for managing the whole project
for developing facility in the remote area. For that purpose, the coordination and
communication between BGC construction and project team need to be positive. The two
communications will help to share the data and information in real time that will support in
decision making for design and implementation of the plan.
In this particular project of developing facility in the remote area the achievement of
standards and requirements is essential. For managing quality and functions, the project
manager allocates role and responsibilities to team members and set the benchmarking
standards to monitor the performance. This kind of project management approach will
improve the sustainability as well help in minimization of cost and time. However, the
lacking in scheduling and planning of the activities of a project as well delay in the supply of
components from overseas locations in influencing standards and cost of the project. The
analysis and consideration of alternative process and proper engagement of stakeholder will
be beneficial for BGC and project manager to achieve the goals and objectives (Wynne and et
al., 2015, pp. 55-71). In addition to this, issues of expensive labor and development of
advanced technical areas are the big task for the project team to maintain high quality in
operations. This kind of planning and implementation of project management approach will
support minimization of risks of lacking in scheduling, development of scope and managing
the change control request. The development of remote area facility is requiring the use of
advanced technology and knowledge to manage the operations of the organization as per the
strategic direction of the BGC construction organization.
Project C
The objective of BCG Company behind starting this project is to develop and
implement design and infrastructure for itself. The process of design and implementation
needs skilled and talented employees along with the procurement strategy which can support
project team in accomplishing the pre-defined goals. Manger will apply tradition approach
12

for managing the various activities and tasks of the project. This traditional approach will
consist of initiation, planning, execution, reviewing and closing of the project. The first step
manager will have to do to analyze the present situation of the project and company as well
for initiating the project management process with proper scheduling of all the tasks.
Adequate evaluation of the requirements and specification will need for designing and
implementing the infrastructure, and this will also help team members in completing the
entire project in the decided time frame and within the estimated cost. Apart from this, the
project manager will apply Adaptive Project Framework for managing and controlling the
complexity of the project. With the help of this model, the manager will also be able to
handle the uncertainties of the project. Apart from this, use of traditional approach will also
help team members in maintaining the quality standards of the project which will result to
minimize its cost. Selection of suitable project management approaches will lead to keep the
flow of information and work among the team members for developing the project in a most
efficient manner (Binder, 2016, Para. 12).
On the other hand, a change in the scope and requirements of the project is one of the
initial problems of this project which needs to handle on the right time for avoiding any loss
to the project. However, use of approaches like traditional and adaptive will help the manager
in overcoming these issues. Apart from this, the costly labor and stakeholder engagement is
another issue which BGC Constructions is facing concerning this project. Concerning this,
the manager needs to implement stakeholder analysis which will help in evaluating the
requirements and wishes of employees, suppliers, investors and service users and help in
increasing their involvement in the project. Furthermore, the actions suggested by the Citizen
Action committee will assist in uniting the environment and society with the project.
Alternative options for designing and implementing the infrastructure within the organization
will be included by the manager for avoiding any issue in between the process.
Collection of all the relevant information and data will help team members in
developing infrastructure as per the need and demand of BCG Constructions. On the other
hand, communication will play an essential role in developing the project on time and by
using the excellent resources. In context to this, the manager will have to establish secure
interaction with the stakeholders and team members for guiding them about the project and
helping them in performing well. In case, manager failed to maintain connection and manage
the activities of the project; then it will result to enhance the cost and time of the project
which will be not good for the firm. Use of technology for developing effective
13

communication and managing all the tasks of the project properly will tend to accomplish the
objectives of the project (Martinelli and Milosevic, 2016, Para. 28).
QUESTION 1(B) REPORT FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Abstract

into consideration. The firm is one of the largest privately owned organizations within the
nation. The company offers products like concrete, windows, roofing, and bricks along with
the service of home building. The report has been providing information with respect to the
project management functions and activities concerning the three different projects of the
BCG company. For accomplishing the pre-defined goals and objectives, it is crucial for the
project manager of the company to select and implement right and suitable project
management approaches and strategies. Selection of the appropriate procedure will result to
provide quality outcomes to the firm. The file has also included information about the
management of the different project operation and proper utilization of the resources in the
decided time frame. The board of directors of the BCG company will able to collect all the
information by reviewing the entire report, about the problems firm, is facing, approaches for
handling them and their outcomes.
Summary of analysis of each of the three projects of BCG Construction
The review of all the three projects which is analyzed is as follows:
Project A:
The purpose of this project is the development of the asset management information
system for the BCG construction firm. The system will lead to manage and handle the
extensive information of the company effectively. Along with this, the flow of data will also
be regulated and maintained by the system for developing the plan regarding the operations.
The expert team having experience and knowledge about the use of information technology
will design and develop the project as per the need of the organization. The successful
execution of the information system will provide BCG Constructions an opportunity to
enhance its effectiveness regarding the management of the assets and sharing of the essential
and relevant information. The period of completing the entire project is one year within the
14

estimated cost of $3 million. According to the present situation, 35% of the project has
completed as per the quality standards defined by the top management of the company. The
role of project manager in the present plan of an asset management information system is
critical as he or she needs to manage all the operations and activities of the company with the
situations and processes of the project. In this project development, it is necessary for the
BCG construction enterprise to have the support of stakeholders for managing the actions and
reducing the risks. The proper contribution of the stakeholders will help the company in
meeting the objectives according to the scheduled tasks within the decided cost (Carvalho
and Rabechini, 2017).
Project B
The Project B aims to develop the remote area for the BCG Construction form for
meeting their goals and objectives of enhancing the business by providing proper support to
the customers with the help of online system. This whole project depends upon the civil
engineering which will improve the performance and working efficiency of the company.
Some problems which company is facing in this project is improper planning, risk
assessment, and monitoring. It is the prime responsibility of the project manager to control all
these issues and complete the project on a decided period by using the excellent resources.
Apart from this, the cost of the project is approximate $8 million which needs to be complete
in 2 years. In the present condition, 25% of the project has completed by the project team.
Along with this, stakeholders of the company are also contributing to the management and
completion of the plan of developing the remote area. The list of stakeholder includes
employees, shareholders, investors and user of the services. The primary purpose of the
establishing of a remote area within the BCG construction is to enhance the performance and
improve the operational activities along with the optimum utilization of the resources. This
will strengthen the planning and implementation function of the BCG Construction firm. One
of the significant risks of this project is to collect and distribute the funds by considering the
exchange rate (De Araújo, Alencar and de Miranda Mota, 2017).
Project C:
This project is to design and implement the infrastructure for improving the
engineering functions of the BCG Constructions. The purpose of this program is to achieve
the strategic objectives. This project will make the firm to manage its all operations and
activities within the open and friendly environment and will also improve the delivery of
15

products and services to the customers. The major problem, the project team is facing while
developing this project is lack of support of the stakeholders in the implementation of the
infrastructure design. The estimated cost of this project is $20 million and completion time is
four years. It is necessary for the project manager and team members to have proper
information, knowledge, and experience in the management of quality standards and
implementation of the infrastructure design. However, this project possesses less difficulty
level, but the impact on the society is either for short or long span (Turner and Ledwith,
2016).
Recommendation of the solution for each project
Project A
The first step before starting any project is to identify its feasibility and requirements
for determining the success rate of the project. Analysis of the elements and viability helps in
knowing whether the project will able to achieve the desired objectives or not. By
understanding the problems and evaluating them, project manager and his or her team can
develop and implement the project management plan in a more customized way. As per the
given scenario, 35% of the project has completed by the project team members who represent
the high feasibility of the successful completion. On the other hand, resources planning and
distribution are vital for enhancing the success rate. In context to this, it has been
recommended for monitoring the work of the team members and offering them support for
managing the problems in real time. Proper monitoring will decrease the time and cost
regarding the project and will also improve its quality and performance. Under the guidance
of the project manager, the team will able to develop asset management information system
as per the requirements of the company. Apart from this, with the help of stakeholder
analysis, the project manager will able to distribute the work effectively (Banihashemi and
et.al., 2017).
Project B:
As per the analysis, it is found that the feasibility of the project of developing the
remote area is low as compared to the expected result and performance of the team is also
poor. From the current scenario, it is clear that 25% of the project has been already
completed, but the quality with respect to the remote area functions and design is low. Thus,
for accomplishing the desired objectives behind the project, it is necessary to improve the
16

effectiveness of the project. The main reason behind the low performance and quality of the
project of developing the remote area for BCG Construction Company is lack of proper
scheduling and contribution of the stakeholders. In context to this, the project manager must
evaluate and analyze the needs and desires of the stakeholders, and for this, stakeholder
analysis needs to be conducted. It is necessary for the project to have an adequate and proper
contribution to the suppliers, investors, and management team for enhancing the success rate
of the project. Along with this, attention to agreed charter and purpose of the project will
improve the possibility of finishing the project within the estimated time with required
quality (Padalkar and Gopinath, 2016).
Project C
This project is facing a problem with respect to the management and choosing the
right approached for influencing the feasibility of the plan for designing and implementing
the infrastructure within BCG Construction. The project team does not have proper
information and knowledge about the specification of the project. In context to this, the
project manager should pay attention to the financial planning and documentation of the
operations for improving the feasibility. Along with this, the adequate supply chain of raw
material along with the support from the stakeholders will help the project in accomplishing
the goals and objectives. The project manager will need to encounter all the issues before the
analysis and planning of the project as it will result to finish the cited project of BCG
Constructions on time and within the estimated cost (Burke and Barron, 2014).
Strategic Direction and Management of BCG Constructions
The project management process includes planning, implementation, controlling and
closing of the project for accomplishing the desired objectives. The primary challenge of the
project manager within the project management is to finish the project effectively within the
given constraints. The project manager of all these three projects has good knowledge,
information and experience of the project management and related operations but lack of
communication with the team members is affecting the progress of all the projects (Willems
and Vanhoucke, 2015). Along with this, ongoing changes within the plans are also affecting
their quality and growth. The estimated cost of all these projects is high which need high
quality. For meeting the objectives of the project management, the project manager can use
scoring model for offering the ranking and gain knowledge with respect to the effectiveness
of the current approaches and projects. Along with this, for enhancing the acceptance,
17

analysis of the change control request also to the individual and staff will be sufficient for the
BCG Construction company. Apart from this, training and monitoring of the team members
will enhance the quality of the project and decrease the cost of human resources. Thus, the
proper synchronization of both human resources and technical resources will help project
manager in achieving the desired objectives of the project (Qazi and et.al., 2016).

Introduction
BCG Construction is thinking of expanding its business in different areas with respect
to this; the company is working on three projects. For completing and managing all these
engineering projects, it is essential for the project manager to have useful knowledge and
skills (Elbanna, 2015). In context to this, the present essay discusses the future problems in

Discussion
Project A
18

This project is about developing the asset management information system. In context
to this, the project manager is facing issues regarding management of the time and standards
which are needed by the BCG Construction firm. The primary objective of this project is to
enhance the strategic direction of the engineering company and development of the active
communication among the employees. The project will help in improving the interaction
between the employees and with the customers through an online platform. However, the
level of difficulty of this project is high as it includes various sub system and functions which
can influence the quality, approach and completion of the project (Ghaffari and Emsley,
2015). It is a crucial part of the manager to balance all the activities and operations of the
company with the standards and processes of the information system. Another essential factor
of this project is security and safety as usage of online platform increases the chances of
losing sensitive and confidential information of the BCG Constructions which is not suitable
for its development and success. Along with this, the continuous changes and alterations
within the technology are impacting on the effectiveness and quality of the project
management strategy and approach. With respect to this, the project team members are
working hard on analyzing the particular functions of the firm with respect to the present
project. These functions will result to develop the effective plan for delivering the sustainable
and active asset management information system to the BCG Construction company. For
instance, any change in the software requirements will lead to affect the scope and
development of the project (Pitsis and et.al., 2014).
Apart from this, future problems in the asset management information system will
include design and testing of the functions as per the need and demand of the company and
use of the software. Project Manager needs to analyses every step of the project accurately for
avoiding any problem as it can result to increase the time and cost of the project completion.
Moreover, the lack of skilled employees and training to the workers will also be one of the
major problems for the BCG Construction’s present project. For example, lack of proper
information about the information system can lead to the time delay for the project (Badewi
and Shehab, 2016).
Project B:
The objective of this project is the development of the remote area for the BCG
construction for increasing its effectiveness in managing the coordination with the
stakeholders. The company handles the engineering work processes and operations, and for
19

this, development of the remote area will be its one of the practical decisions. The remote
area will make firm to manage its services and activities properly via virtual assistance which
will lead to achieving all goals and objectives efficiently. The company is facing some issues
in managing and handling this project. The problems include the high exchange rate,
continuous changes within the schedule of tasks and contribution of the stakeholders. Along
with this, there is lack of proper documentation of the project processes by the team members
which are affecting the strategies for implementing the changes within the specific areas for
handling the problems effectively. Training and use of technology can help project manager
and team members in treating the issues and reducing the complexity level of the project
(Popaitoon and Siengthai, 2014).
For instance, lack of documentation of the project operations is creating a problem for
the team members in getting updates about the present condition of the project which is
affecting its quality. Apart from this, in the upcoming 20 years, the project manager of the
BCG Constructions can face problems with respect to cost management due to the increasing
prices or the resources and upgrading technology (Eskerod and Vaagaasar, 2014).
Project C:
This project depends upon the design and implementation of the infrastructure within
the BCG Construction firm for increasing the business and handling it’s both internal and
external activities. The project is facing some problems like lack of involvement of the
stakeholders and lack of information about the rules and regulations to the project team
members. Along with this, the cost of the employees and technical resources is enhancing
which is affecting the feasibility of the project. Due to these reasons, the project manager is
facing problem in finishing the critical project on time and in the estimated cost (Kerzner,
2015). On the other hand, lack of proper supply chain management is also affecting the
progress and quality of the project. In context to this, due to the increasing cost of labor, cost
of the project is also enhancing which is affecting the overall cost estimation of the BCG
Construction firm. Design and implementation of the infrastructure need the use of practical
project management approach. With respect to this, the project manager will have to use
effective strategies for completing the project on time without increasing the cost. For
example, it will be difficult for the project manager to manage the increasing cost of labor so
it will be better to develop and maintain the standards in the design and development of the
infrastructure (Cavanagh, 2017).
20

Impact of changes in engineering project implementation and delivery process
It has been found that all the projects of the BCG Construction company are facing
some issues which need to be handled expertly by making some changes. The impacts of
changes in the engineering project implementation and delivery process are as follows:
Project A
The project manager needs to overcome the issues of project A for achieving the
desired objectives. In context to this, the project manager should develop a plan for
developing and implementing the asset information management system for the BCG
Construction company. Firstly, the project team needs proper communication and
coordination among each other for sharing information and working together for
accomplishing the similar objectives. Active communication among the team members will
also maintain the quality of the project. The cooperative, open, friendly and highly interactive
working environment will lead to executing the plan more appropriately in a professional
manner. It is required to have a proper analysis of the changes and determination of a
particular program for handling and managing all the tasks of the project (Korhonen, Laine
and Martinsuo, 2014). This will increase the transparency and help all the stakeholders in
understanding their role in planning the activities accordingly. Apart from this, the project
manager and team members need to use Agile Project Management Methodology for
completing the project on time and by following all the standards. This approach will lead to
standardization of the tasks and integration of the sub system for controlling the problems
faced by the project. Thus, it is clear that by making some changes within the project
management plan of the project, project manager and project team can develop and
implement the project by maintaining the quality at every step and following all the necessary
standards. This will enhance the chances of finishing the asset management information
system on determined time and in the estimated cost by using excellent resources (Aloini and
et.al., 2015).
Project B:
As this project is facing the major issue of improper scheduling and lack of
contribution of the stakeholders, the project manager needs to create a proper schedule of all
the operations effectively. The manager of the company also needs to allocate budget to the
project team for managing all the tasks and progress of the project. Along with the personal
and professional benefits of the project to BCG Construction, it is also necessary to have
21

social and environmental benefits. Improper integration of the project can result to affect its
deliverables and services which can only manage the development of the remote area (Ekrot,
Kock and Gemünden 2016). For the current plan, BCG Construction has ordered specialized
components from the international suppliers. This order was made by the company three
months before for overcoming the delay in supply of the products and services which is
affecting the quality and completion period of the project. With respect to this, the project
manager of the firm needs to interact with the suppliers for identifying the delay in supplying
the raw materials. For this issue, use of Just In Time process for ordering the raw material
will be useful and beneficial for both firm and project manager. Along with this, usage of the
technical tools for handling all the operations will lead to decrease the cost of labor and
enhance the quality of the project development of remote area services. One of the major
issues is lack of communication with the supplier, and it is influencing the integration of all
the operations of the project. The project manager needs to work on the areas which are
facing problems and creating barriers to the completion of the project. Effective changes will
help the project manager to finish the project on time and accomplish the desired objectives
(Blomquist, Farashah and Thomas, 2016).
Project C
The problems facing this project of the firm includes improper consideration of the
environmental standards and lack of involvement of the stakeholders. These issues are
creating a delay in the completion of the project which is affecting its cost and satisfaction
level of the BCG Construction firm. Firstly, the project manager needs to engage all the
stakeholders within the plan for managing and implementing the project. By assigning roles
and responsibilities to the stakeholders, the manager will able to manage and control its all
project activities effectively. Along with this, stakeholder mapping will help in understanding
and analyze the needs and desires of the stakeholders (Conforto and Amaral, 2016). This will
result in the development of a suitable strategy for increasing the contribution and
involvement in the development and management of the project. Having competent and
robust communication among the stakeholders is necessary. This will enhance the efficiency,
quality, and performance of the work. With respect to this, stakeholder communication
matrix is one of the effective methods which project manager can use for controlling the
project problems and decreasing the risks. Apart from this, project manager and team
members will have to manage and control the changes within the project as per the conditions
of the environment and impact of the society. For this, the traditional approach is one of the
22

appropriate decisions of the project manager. The coherence of the traditional method with
the advance technical resources will result to accomplish the desired goals (Hoda and
Murugesan, 2016).
Knowledge and skills needed for engineering project manager for active development and
management of the project in the future
Project management requires broad skills and knowledge for completing the tasks by
meeting all the requirements of the customers. In the entire projects of BCG Construction
firm, the role and responsibility of the project manager are vital. The project manager needs
to develop a plan, analyze the requirements, select the suitable approach, identify the risk or
problems, chose the best operations for managing the activities and achieving the pre-defined
objectives for the client (Basu, 2017). In context to this, the skill of manager includes risk
assessment, project management, project development and effective communication with
both team members and stakeholders. These skills of the project manager have helped firm in
handling the issues and reducing their negative impact on the quality of the project. Apart
from this, the project manager has enough experience and knowledge which aware him or her
about the uncertainty in the project and for controlling this uncertainty, project manager
always has some alternate strategies or options. Along with this, time management, cost
management and resource management skills of the manager lead to complete the project on
time within the estimated cost by utilizing the optimum resources. The proper guidance and
monitoring of the work of project team members also help in maintaining the quality and
performance of the project (Jalal and Koosha, 2015).
In large projects, it is essential to have proper risk management, and strategy
development approaches for finishing the project as per the need and demand of the client.
The practical skills of the project manager of managing the operations, making the necessary
changes and taking decisions for the improvement of the project leads to enhance the
efficiency and effectiveness of the project tasks and final deliverables according to the
decided standards. On the other hand, technical knowledge and skills also play a vital role in
the work management of the project manager. Synchronization of the technology with the
quality work performance of the team member, result to provide desired outcomes in an
effective manner. Knowledge about the project management methodology, approaches, etc.
like PRINCE Model, Waterfall model, agile framework, development of the network
diagram, etc. helps project manager in using right strategy as per the need of the project
(Frijns, Van Leeuwen and Bierwolf, 2017).
23

Conclusion
From the above study, it is concluded that all the three projects are facing some
problems which is affecting their quality, cost and time. Major objective of BCG
Construction firm is to consider project cost and risk for accomplishing the desired goals. The
essay provided effective strategies for making necessary changes within the project
management plan for overcoming the problems. Along with this, the paper explain skills and
knowledge of the project manager which plays essential role in completing the project on
time and in estimated cost.
