Introduction
Executive Engineering is one of the leading organization in Australia with
a speciality of constructing both small and large size buildings in an
effective manner as per the interest and requirements of the client. In
recent time, a client advertised the gathering of bidding from the various
construction companies for the building of a coffee café. Executive
Engineering also bid for the same project and won after a competitive
round. Now, the most critical part in the construction project that was
differentiated from other construction projects being carried out by the
Executive Engineering was that the café was to developed using an old
theme coming from 1950-1960s. The client desired to provide an
experience of past times to its customers. For the same reason, the
project comes with a certain challenge for Executive Engineering as it was
an expert in modern kind of projects. However, Executive Engineering
aimed to take up the challenge in a positive manner and aimed to achieve
the final objectives of the project by making use of effective project
management techniques and methodologies. Therefore, this study will be
focusing on project management planning for the Old Hat Café project on
the behalf of Executive Engineering. This project will be comprised of

complete aspects involved in the project management ranging from
project initiation to project closure.
Stakeholder management strategy.
A stakeholder is the concern parties involved in the project or has a strong interest in its success or
failure. Stakeholder management strategy of constructing the old hat café will be used to identify
and classify project stakeholder. Besides, it will mention all the stakeholder power, interest, concern,
strategy and level of involvement. The stakeholder of the café would be project manager, project
team, engineer, architect, sponsor, suppliers and customer. There are two kinds of stakeholder
internal and external. In which project manager, project employee, will be the internal stakeholder
as they are directly involved in developing the project activities. Likewise, the external stakeholder
would be customer, suppliers, and another café as they will supply the needed elements for project
success. All the details of the stakeholder and the concern of the project to build the old hat café is
mention briefly in the table below:

Feasibility analysis
Feasibility analysis is done by the company where the project is possible in certain circumstances. Its
analysis the company money for a project is it worth project or not and the manpower to complete
the project. Proper analysis will show the strengths and deficits before the project is planned or
budgeted for. By doing a feasibility analysis company can save money and resource by avoiding the
not feasible project. For our old hat café construction, we had done feasibility analysis like economic,
cultural, technological, schedule (time), resource availability risk feasibility which is mention briefly
in different containers. By analysis of those feasibilities, we can say that this project is worthful and
feasible in the today market.

Time management
Delivering project on time is the bigger challenge for managers as time passes no matter
what happens on the project. Old hat café project will start on 27th of May 2019 and
estimated time to complete the project is 5 months and 4 day (3rd of October 2019). We
use project time management process for deliver outcome of the project on time as we
discussed above under the WBS section.

Quality Management
This project will meet requirement of level of the quality of project and will ensure the level
of quality in its deliverables and work process.
Old hat café Quality management is done up to the level that there is no even single
accident during this project. All materials are check with specification and work inspections;
method statements materials inspection is done in each step. Quality guideline and
procedures will be established during this project.
Health, Safety and environment (HSE) procedures will be strictly implemented .Project
manager, project team, customer, project sponsor will responsible for quality of the project.
By standardizing and improving internal processes and time-efficiency will
increase and the quality of this project will improve.
The quality of the materials and standard of workmanship might be
controlled on site by implementing a quality plan. The plan establishes the
resources required and associated document such as list, purchasing
documentation, machinery, equipment and the activities of control such
as inspections and tests, monitoring of activities. Old hat café project
activities can be defined through inspection, testing plans, action plans
and where applicable specific tests. We will be doing third party inspection
about the old hat café such as building control, Environment health, fire
inspection etc.

LEADING
One critical and effective consideration of project execution and management, is leading the project
team in a manner that will ascertain successful completion (Shenhar 2015). It is a leader’s
responsibility to motivate the team to put their best efforts in finishing a particular project. Since the
current project linked with the development of the Old hat Café is a complex project, effective
leadership is to be executed in the team. It is the duty of a leader to identify the capability of each of
the team members so assign a perfect role in execution of the café development project (Aga,
Noorderhaven and Vallejo 2016). In this project, the project manager will perform the role of a
project leader to lead and motivate the team in successful project execution.
Supply chain Management
The importance of supply chain management for old hat café project understands the
breakdown and traceability of products and services, organization, logistics, people,
activities, information and resources that transform raw material into a finished product
that is fit for the project purpose. We expected higher overall profitability through lower
real costs and reduce margins for equipment maintenance. Further improve customer
satisfaction and the ability to establish great industry presence and reputation
Monitoring
Project monitoring is a critical aspect of managing and execution of a project and it ascertains that a
particular project is being executed as per the developed plan. The monitoring process of the project
related to construction of the old hat café involves keeping a track of the tasks that are needed to be
executed. The tasks that are running off the schedule should be identified and should be put back to
track (Kerzner 2017). The process of project monitoring further involves checking if the project is
aligned with the schedule, budget and the resources estimated for the project (Hazır 2015). In
construction of the old hat café, the scheduling and the budgeting aspects will be monitored to
ascertain that a particular project is always executed as per the plan.
The project monitoring process will be managed and executed by the manager of the project who
will keep a track on the tasks that are performed by the project team members.
ENDING OF REPORT
The report provides a detailed plan and the requirements to be considered for execution of a project
in a successful manner. The report identifies the need of effective stakeholders’ management that
helps in identification of the power and interest of the stakeholders. The report has identified the
need of feasibility analysis of the project prior to its implementation. The feasibility analysis was
needed to identify the strengths and the deficits of the project. The feasibility analysis report
indicates that the project is technologically and economically feasible. The report further identifies
the work breakdown structure of the project to be executed to identify the sequencing of the task.
The development of this plan was necessary to deliver the Old hat café within the available time and
within the budget set.

CONCLUSION
The project plan report aimed in developing a well-structured plan to construct the proposed old
hate café within 3rd October 2019. Since the project is to be completed in a constrained time,
development of this project plan necessary. The most important elements of the project plan
developed include managing the project stakeholder, Feasibility analysis of the café construction
project, work breakdown structure and the organizational structure. The quality management
aspects linked with the project is discussed as well. The report establishes the need of showing
effective leadership to ascertain that all the tasks are completed within the deadline.
