1.1. Project Title
The topic is about Antipsychotics Medications and How to reduce weight gain. To exercise
and provide a small exercise room in the facility with few gym equipment.
1.2. Project Background
The class of Antipsychotics medications are used for the management of the primary form
of psychosis with the inclusion of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. These medicines have
also been used for the curing of psychosis in the short term basis. However the long term
use of the medicine have shown the side effect of weight gain in the patients. Based on this,
this project is to help in the development of a small exercise room for the patients in the
ABC Mental Facility. The room would be filled with a small number of gym equipment’s for
the patients to work out. The weight gain has been seen in the patient who are using the
antipsychotic drugs for the process of maintenance therapy. The weight gains have been
found to be with the use of olanzapine, zotepine and clozapine.
2. Scope
The scope of this project includes the process of implementation and installation of a small
scale gym facility at the ABC Mental Facility for the combat of the side effect of weight gain
for the patient who are currently consuming the Antipsychotics medications.
2.1. Aim
The aim of the project is to analyse the adverse effect of the use of Antipsychotics
medications for the patient with the main emphasis on the aspect of weight gain. The
analysis is to be used for the development of the small gym with equipment’s for the
patients to work out. The system is to be implemented in ABC Mental Facility.
2.2. Objective(s)
For the completion of the project as per the requirements of the project the following list of
objectives had been set:
 To assess the probable use of the Antipsychotics medications
 To assess the side effect of weight gain of the patients due to the use of the
Antipsychotics medication

Assumptions
The assumptions that has been made for the completion of this project are as follows:
 The completion of the project would be able to be completed with the prescribed
budget of the project
 The nurses who would be operating the machines would know the exercise process
to follow for the proper treatment of the patients
 The new equipment’s of the gym facility would help the patients to keep their health
in check and reduce the weigh that has been gained due to the use of the
antipsychotic medications.
 The project is to be completed within a period of 5 months.
Constraints
The constraints for the completion process of this project are discussed below:
 The gym equipment’s that are to be used are expensive and would require a certain
budget for the company to bear. The facility has to look after the equipment’s later
on during the lifetime of the machines so that they do not malfunction when the
patients are using it.
 For the training of the patients there needs to the presence of trained employees or
nurses who would be able to train the patients properly for them to maintain their
physique.
 There would be the presence of many different equipment’s which would require a
lot of maintenance.
3. Work Breakdown Structure, Schedule / Milestones
3.1 Timeline estimation
Time management if the process that is to be followed by the project manager for the
proper division of the time for each of the task that is required for the completion of the
project. Good time management in a project is essential for the smart management of the
work in the project as well as in the process of keeping the work in a smart process. The
proper use of the time in the project would also help in the reduction of the total time. The
proper management of time is essential for the completion of the project as per the

6. Human Resources and Cost Management Requirements
6.1. Budget and Expenditure
For the proper completion of a project there is the requirement of proper amount of
resources. These resources are gathered with the help of money. However as a project
becomes large in size the process of management of the finance and money is essential to
keep a track of the use of the money and resources in the project completion process.
Another form of tracking the resources being used is to create a budget at the start of the
project. The following of the budget would help the financial manager to look after the
expenses of the project. The budget for the project has been kept around $700,000. This has
been set with the idea of purchasing better equipment’s for the gym and to provide the best
equipment’s for the patients at the ABC Mental facility. The project budget has been shared
in the appendix section of this project report.
6.2. Other Resources
Other than the basic requirements of the project the resources that are to be required for
the project completion are:
Human Resource Material Resource
Technical Expert Gym Equipment’s
Implementation Team Laptops
Training Team Training schedules
7. Risk Management Plan
During the process of project development there can be times when the manager may face
some difficulties in the project. These difficulties are termed as risks for the project. It has
been seen that risks in a project can result in the failure of the project. Thus it is essential for
the manager to look after the proper follow up of the project and make sure that there are
no risks in the project while it is under development. The risks which can be associated with
the development of this project can be listed down as follows:
 Delay in the delivery of the resources by the shop
 Delay by the workers
 Loss of financial money due to wrong process implementation
These form of risks can be easily assessed and cleared before they even occur if the project
manager is able to study the project carefully and assess the situations which might arise.
The process of mitigation of the risks which are being generated is essential for the project
to be completed within the dedicated timeline. Apart from the danger in the process of
delay of the work which would result in the changing of the timeline of the project there is
<Project Title>: Project Management Plan – Version 1

the risk of an increase in the budget of the project. Both timeline and budget are essential
for the project to be in proper shape for the project to be successful in nature.
For this project the process to be followed had been analysed and checked with the other
stakeholders of the project. The project had been cleared with the proper follow up of the
project life cycle which would be used for the completion of this project. This helped in the
clearing the project as per the requirement of the client. Apart from this the mitigation of
the risk helped in the completion of the project within the deadline and as per the budget
sheet created for the project. The final budget sheet of the project has been included into
the appendix section of this report.
7.1. Quality Management
The quality of a project can be said to be the form of presentation of the project. The
highest amount of quality I expected by the client from the developers of the project at the
end of the project. The quality management planning of this project would comprise of the
following list of aspect:
 Methodologies and standards: During the phase for the planning of the project
there are certain standards which would be set out to be followed for the project.
These standards would be the inclusion of the quality that has been assessed for the
tools that has been used for the completion of the project and the working feature
that were present for the tools which prompted the project manager to opt for the
tool. The completion of the project would be done as per the order that has been
discussed and shared with the client and shown in the work breakdown structure.
 Monitoring procedures: The project manager has to keep in mind to make regular
follow up on the work that has been done on the project and record the collected
data for the development of the documentation of the project. This documentation
of the project is essential to be shared with the client and the project stakeholders
for the sharing of information. The meeting for the discussion about the work that
has been done and the future work left should be discussed on a weekly basis so that
no information is left unshared.
 Review processes: After the sharing of the progress report of the project with the
project stakeholders in the meeting the project manager should wait for the proper
feedback from the persons present at the meeting. The process of collecting
feedback and review from others would help in the completion of the task related to
the project would help in the designing of the project more closely related to the
requirement of the client.
 Change/issues/problem management: The changes related to the working of the
project should be kept in mind and changed accordingly.
 Review and acceptance procedures: Thee review of the project should be
considered as per the acceptance of the project requirement.
 Documentation and record keeping: The complete documentation of the project is
available and should be shared with the stakeholders of the project after the
completion of the project. This helps in the process of record keeping of the project.
