2PROJECT MANAGEMENT REPORT
1. Goals of the Project
The project is formed for ‘Construction of Western Australia fuel storage facility’ is
helpful for renovating and developing the alignment of the supportive development and analysis.
The goals of the project are given below,
1. Renovation of the oil tanker storage: Construction of the Oil tank reservoir is helpful
for deploying the successful integration of the operations for forming the management of the
functions. The oil tankers storage renovation would allow the formation of the improved system
for storage of fuel oil. The capacities of the oil tankers were 1, 3, and 7 million litres of unleaded
petrol respectively for the three oil tankers. The works required in the tanks are 4, 7, and 6 steel
patches respectively, addition of 4 steel anchors, cleaning and repainting of the oil tankers, and
replacement of the main supply valve for the third tank.
2. Increasing the access to Oil tankers: The site has to face the challenge of access as it
is triangular in shape. However, the modification of the storage would allow the workers for
accessing the site more effectively. According to Patwardhan et al. (2016), the deployment of the
improved access on the site would allow them for more effective and improved functional
development.
2. Project Analysis
2.1 Project Scope Statement
The project scope statement is aligned with the construction project management and the
completion of the project would tend to form the effective and improved development of the
operations and alignment of the successive and industrial deployment of the operations (Kerzner

3PROJECT MANAGEMENT REPORT
& Kerzner, 2017). The in scope items of the project are the project plan developed, construction
of the new storage for oil tankers, project management principles and methodology, and
communication plan. The completion of the project would tend to result in forming the oil tanker
storage development for Western Australia. The plan development would help in listing the
activities of the project and form the completion of the project. The out of scope items of the
project include contractor work, transportation activities, and change management plan. These
are not a part of the main work of the project and would not be managed by the project team.
2.2 Process for Determining Project Scope
The determination of the project scope is based on the analysis of the work included in
the project of renovation of the oil storage area for Western Australia. As stated by Martinelli
and Milosevic (2016). the alignment of the project activities is helpful for covering the
deployment of the effective and improved functional operations.
Step 1: Analysis The analysis of the project requirements were the first step in
determining the scope of the project.
Step 2: Determination The analysis helped in determining the list of activities that are
crucial for the project.
Step 3: Prioritization The prioritization of the scope items for the project is done on the
basis of the activities of the project.
Step 4: Finalizing The final step for the project scope statement development is the
selection of project elements in terms of in scope or out of scope.
2.3 Stakeholders and their importance in the Project

4PROJECT MANAGEMENT REPORT
The project of construction of the oil storage in Western Australia would comprise of
using the construction principles and operations. Hence, according to Kerzner (2017), the project
would involve a number of stakeholders that can be grouped into three sections namely project
steering committee (comprising of oil and natural gas board of Western Australia, state
government, and the owner of the project), project managerial level (that would involve the
project manager, contractor, and other management departments), and operational level (that
would comprise of all workers of the project). Their importance for the project of Construction
of the Oil tankers storage is shown below,
Stakeholder
Group
Importance
Steering
Committee
They are in charge of all the key decisions of the project. They have the high
power and high interest in the project. The project completion success is
largely dependent on the this group of people.
Managerial
Level
The group is characterized by the involvement of the managerial progression
and development (Svejvig & Andersen, 2015). It is important for managing the
activities of the project so that the final deliverable can be aligned with the
business objectives.
Operational
Department
They are the main workers of the project and all the activities are carried on by
this group of people. The project progress is largely dependent on the
performance of the project analysis.
