Solar PV Project Scope Management: Defining the Final Deliverables

The assignment content focuses on project management, specifically the Risha Solar PV Project in Jordan. It discusses various aspects of project scope management, including project boundaries, verification, assumptions and constraints, risk statements, and dependencies. Additionally, it highlights the importance of using project selection tools and techniques such as dashboards, Gantt charts, project schedules, reporting, and task tracking to ensure successful project implementation.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Assessment Part 1:
I) Description of the selected case Study
The paper mainly focuses on the development of “Risha Solar PV project” within the
country Jordan. The target board date of the project is on 20th September 2017. The project was
mainly implemented in order to directly complementing the strategy for mitigating the energy
crisis as well as for minimizing energy security concerns within Jordan (Ebrd.com 2018). It is
identified that in order to complete the development as well as construction of the solar
photovoltaic plant within the region of Risha, a senior secured limited generally finance loan of
27.6 million. The entire budget that is needed for completing the project successfully is around
USD 69 million.
II) Different types of project types
In order to accomplish any project, initially the type of the project is required to be
identified by the project executives. The types of the projects are as follows:
Civil engineering, petrochemical, construction, mining and quarrying project: The
projects those are belongs to this particular category coil to mind readily whenever; the industrial
projects are mentioned by the project managers. All the phases should be conducted practically
on site those are bare by different elements and are typically isolated from the head office of the
contractors (Dias et al. 2014). In most of the cases it has been found that the resources and
funding required for these projects are very high and needs thorough management of finance,
quality and progress accordingly.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
For example: The North West Mining and civil industry has completed a large number
of projects in mining field through building services, commercial plumbing and waste
management also. They have completed three different Kisok upgrades and another substation
upgrade with additional three schedules in the upcoming future.
Manufacturing projects: It is stated by Fleming and Koppelman (2016) that
management projects mainly aims to produce different types of equipments or machinery that
generally includes aircraft, ship, land vehicle or some other types of specially designed hardware.
The finished products are either might be developed for a single client or the entire project would
be generated for a specific company. The manufacturing projects are generally undertaken either
in a home based environment or within a factory where the organization would be capable of
exercising on the spot management for providing optimum environment.
For example: A completed cellular manufacture relay out of a machined gear and parts
facilities is one of the well known manufacturing projects that could reduce the footprint facility,
labor, travel and scrap by 36%, 34%, 89% and 45% respectively.
Management projects: It is opined by Verzuh (2015) that management projects are
generally undertaken when the organization relocate their headquarters for developing as well as
introducing new computer system, for launching proper marketing campaign, for producing
feasibility study and for preparing trade exhibition. It is identified that effective project
management is quite important for management projects as these types of projects are considered
as the largest manufacturing as well as construction projects.
For example: Regardless of the model that has to be used, an accurate verification on the
ongoing basis is absolutely imperative for driving the business towards massive success. CRM

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
system development is a management project that is implemented by most of the medium to
large business organizations to build secured relationship between the service providers and the
consumers.
III) Elements that are included in managing the scope plan of the project
The scope of the project is to develop “Risha solar PV project”, for minimizing the
issues related to energy crisis. With the successful implementation of this project the nominated
environment will be able to gain enough amount of electricity. In order to manage the scope of
the project the necessary elements those are included are as follows:
Project deliverables: Project deliverables are the products that are expected to be
generated with the successful implementation of “Risha Solar PV project”. With the help of the
project deliverables the scope of the project could be reached easily (Harmon 2015). Various
deliverables are there those could be listed for this particular project however the role of the
project manager is to focus on only the final deliverable list.
Project boundaries: Project boundaries will help the project manager to define the scope
within and outside the boundaries. The project boundaries for the development of Solar PV
project include identification of major life cycle processes, scope organization and identification
of major functionalities (Gollenia 2016). The issues those might interrupt the successful project
implementation, are also reduced with the identification of project boundaries.
Scope verification: In order to verify the project deliverables the project manager should
verify the project scope to meet the project requirements.
Assumptions and constraints: While developing the project scope triple project
constraints and assumptions including time, scope and budget are needed to be determined by the

project manager (Goetsch and Davis 2014). The assumptions for the solar PV project also
include the available key stakeholders and the needful resources.
Risk statements: The list of risks those might disrupt the project completion, must be
identified by the project manager in terms of scope, schedule and budget.
Project dependencies: In this phase the project manager should define the project
activities and relevant dependencies. With scope management and dependencies the resource
requirements and key stakeholders can be identified very easily.
IV) Identification of project selection tools and techniques that is used
In order to accomplish Risha Solar PV project in Jordon the different project
management tools and techniques those are needed are as follows:
Dashboard: In the project management toolkit, dashboard is the most important tool that
helps the project manager and project team members to read the charts and graphs easily. If the
tool is online tool then, the members will be able to collect real time data and accurate
information (Gonçalves et al. 2017).
Gantt chart: With the help of Gantt chart the activities could be scheduled much easily.
The development complexity will be reduced also the monitoring and controlling of the project
will become simple for creating the milestones and task dependencies.
Project schedule: Project schedule will help to reduce the task complexity and work
pressure from the project team members (Vestartas et al. 2018). Additionally, from the schedule
the team members will get to know about their duties and responsibilities.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project reporting: The project reporting should not be complicated as it helps the
project manager to monitor the project progress accordingly through filtration the project
activities.
Project and task tracking: The team’s productivity and the project deadline can be
easily identified with the help of the project and task tracking.
