Project Management Assignment Sample (pdf)_2

INTRODUCTIONProject Management can be defined as the entire process through which an individual ora team initiate, plan, execute, control and close a particular or specific project that they intend tocarry out. Project management involves very specific and detailed planning regarding each stepand every aspect related to it (Kalra and Gloviczki, 2017). However, like Charles R. Swindollhas rightly said, “Life is only 105 of what actually happens to you remaining 90% deals with themanner in which you react”, despite intricate planning, project delay can be an unavoidablescenario if the reasons of project failure are not minimized or controlled. There are a variety ofreasons due to which a project can get unnecessary delayed and these have been outlined by mein the following essay where I will identify the most probable causes of project delay and how byexercising sufficient control, they can be avoided.MAIN BODYPoor Project SchedulingProject Scheduling basically involves identification of the various milestones of theproject and allocating appropriate time to each of these milestones within which these should becompleted (Kibler and et.al., 2017). When the project scheduling is not done in a proper manner,it often leads to a huge overruns in time period that was initially allocated leading to overrun incost as well which can ultimately even lead to the failure of the entire project. This overrun incost, time and budget is an extremely negative issue for the project manager and shows a lack ofproper use of tools used for the scheduling. As per the view of Nilsson and et.al., (2015), a project is bound to get delayed right fromthe beginning if it is not properly planned i.e. the author states that before starting a project, anextremely comprehensive and detailed plan must be formed considering all possible scenarios offailure ensuring that plan is cost effective and accounts for the required manpower as well as theparameters within which it is expected to be achieved. The author further states that in case oflengthy projects, the project manager should ensure that regular checks between fixed intervalsare carried out so that deviation if any between the expected and actual time are removed andproject delay can be avoided.Lack of CooperationAnother major issue which can lead to project delays is poor integration amongst theteam members who are responsible for completion of the project (Agnetis and et.al.,2015).
