1LEADING AND MANAGING PROJECT
Introduction
As per my knowledge this report discusses the list of project management tools that can
be used for this project. As per my knowledge, it elaborates at least one challenge where the
analytical, as well as problem solving skills, are applied. It also describes the responsibility of the
internal as well as external stakeholder and various strategies used for establishing
communication with the stakeholders. It describes the two disadvantages and challenges of the
Project manager and behavior of the leader and manager.
Code N
According to me, the project management tools that can be used are GANNT Chart,
PERT chart, Product Breakdown Structure, Work Breakdown Structure and many others. Gantt
chart is a very important bar of the project management that can bale to track the tasks in time.
PERT chart represents the graphical representation of the project management tasks. Product
Breakdown Structure deals with the physical component of the particular project. WBS
organizes the assignment of the team into several manageable sections.
Code O
As per my knowledge, at the time of executing the project the team has facecd lots of
problemof team management. At the beginning all the team member did not contribute in the
project in a proper manner. Sometimes it happened that they were not reach the restaurant at
proper time. That is why the project was not executed successfully. As the project members did
not give the time to the project so the team members should terminate the project. As per my
knowledge, the project manager organized a meeting with the team member and it was

2LEADING AND MANAGING PROJECT
identifiedec that the main issue was the time management. At the same time, the project manager
provided a solution which help the project a successful one. There will be an extra person in the
project. If a person is facing some issue regarding the project then he or she can raise this issue to
that person. The extra person will help him or her to resolve the problem. This methodology will
help the project members to resolve all the issues of the project.
Code P
The internal stakeholders include employees, project manager, project co-coordinator,
Assistant manager, project supervisor. The assignment of the employees is to increase the sale of
the product. The assignment of the project manager is to design a plan for evaluation and
monitoring. As per my knowledge, they are also responsible to detect the availability of the
resources and distribution of the products. If any discrepancies are found, then they should report
this to the management of the restaurant.
The external stakeholder is supplier. The major contribution of supplier is to provide the
appropriate delivery of the soya chaap boxes.
For establishing the communication with the external and internal stakeholder several
tools can be used. It includes skype, email, whatsapp and many others.
Code Q
Limitations of a Project manager
As per my knowledge there are various limitations of the project manager.
 Not able to stick with the scope of the project

3LEADING AND MANAGING PROJECT
 Not able to reach the goals of the project having the business strategy.
 Not able to manage the project with the provided expenditure.
 A project manager is not following the proper methods of the project.
 The dependency of functional management.
Challenges of the Project managers
There are five challenges of the project managers. These include:
 Corporate problems
Sometimes the company is not able to describe the project properly to the project
managers. This will lead to a huge problem for the project manager in long run. If the
project is not properly planned then it will fail at the end.
 Issues with the team members
The success of the project entirely depends on the execution of the project and also the
performance of the team member. If the team contains some members having less skilled
staffs, then the execution of the project will be slower. Sometimes it leads to the
unsuccessful termination of the project.
 Ensuring the low risks
It is a common expectation from the end of project manager that the risk of the project
should be low. He or she should try the level best by collecting enough information on
the project. He or she should develop trust among his or her team members. The project
manager must have a sound knowledge regarding the modification and feasibility of the
project.

Code R
As per my knowledge, the behaviors of a good leader are as follows:
o The project manager should behave ethically with the stakeholders and other team
members.
o The project manager must have professionally with the sponsor and other
members of the project.
o The project manager must give proper respect to every culture and he or she
should talk very politely with every team members.
Code S
As per my knowledge the project manager should fix a target to the project that really
motivates him or her to achieve the target. He or she should work hard to achieve the goal.
According to me, project manager can perform the review of the project in daily basis.
This is a very efficient methodology because project manager had a meeting with every team
member regarding the progress of the project. A team member will be motivated by seeing that
the other team members are working exceptionally well. Project manager should tell the
members to terminate the project within stipulated time.
Code T
The project manager can perform the development, modeling band leading the project in
following manner:
 Positive attachement with the team members
 Entire focus on the issues in a positive sense

5LEADING AND MANAGING PROJECT
 Giving the entire focus on the energy of control
Code U
According to me, for satisfying the consumers by providing the new kati wrap. The
festaurantb can introduce new kati wrap. But before lauching this into the market the project
manager should perform a market review regarding the ingredaints used in that particular food
item. If ingrediants are popular enough then project manager should introduce this new food item
into the market.
Code V
As per my knowledge, according to Waitangi principals if a team wants to initiate a
project then they should involve the Maori people. Project team should try their level best to
involve themselves in the decision making process of the project
Principles of the treaty of Waitangi
Participation: According to me, in this particular case all the employees, as well as the
management of the restaurant, should make the Maori people involve in this project.
Protection: At the time of the project, the project manager must include a Maori name in the
menu card of the restaurant. It may happen that this company has a hugev number of Maori
customers. If the restaurant include a Maori name then the popularity of this restaurant will
increase in the Maori community.
Partnership: It includes the addition of a moral community of that restaurant.

6LEADING AND MANAGING PROJECT
As per the Maori customs the leadership can be traetec as a virtue in the project
management. The leaders who failed can be bypassed or removed from their place. In this
custom the hunmble behavior in this project provides a long term advantages and it increases the
growth of the project.
Code W
The huge challenge in the project management is to abide by the exact rules and
regulations for the internal and external aspect of the restaurant. The major aspects of the
compliants are living components that are not considered in the scope of this project. The
compliance rules allows the team for performing the documentataion of the elements according
to the rules and regulations of Work Breakdown Structure. It is continued until the project is
terminated successfully.
Code X
Multicultural terms
The cultural framework helps the project manager to understand the culturally diverse
project stakholders in an efficient way. It also relates the culltura seeration to the important areas
of the project management. It is also used to differrntiate in the behavior of the stakeholders in
the context of project management.
Project management
The project management knowledge areas coincide with the group of projects whih are at
the starting of the project, planning of the project, execution of the project, monitoring and

7LEADING AND MANAGING PROJECT
controlling of the project and termination ofr project. These are the phases that the every phase
of the project goes through.
E-Technology
As per my knowledge, E-technology is an important aspect in the area of project
management. It helps to promote the business and increases the popularity of that business. It
also helps to share the business information among the common public.
Conclusion
As per my knowledge the project manager must understand all the issues related to the
project. Hee or she should have the ability to understand how effect tively the team can be
managed so that the team can work well in this restaurant.
