PROJECT MANAGEMENT: - ST. HELENA MARINA DEVELOPMENT
Introduction
A volcanic tropical island, Saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean having dimensions
of 4000 x 1950 kilometers marking the border between Angola and Namibia in the Southwestern
Africa. It has a population of 4,534 individuals and measures about sixteen by eight kilometers.
A project is being considered for the development of the island through transforming the existing
operations and operational structures and providing the tourists and individuals looking forward
to visit the island. The project is about to establish a marina near Jamestown Wharf in manner to
complement the recently build airport and allowing better services to the tourists and others who
are willing to take a tour to the island. The project will lead to shaping the surroundings those are
around the hills in manner to release more flat building and lands within the existing
environment of the island and creating more new and attractive facilities.
This report presents the project management approaches those are necessary for the
development of this transformation within the existing environment of the island regarding the
logistical and engineering work. Consideration of the project management approaches and
frameworks will be playing crucial role in the development of this project and leading towards
the success. The constraints and information provided in this report can be utilized by the
government for the development of the environment that can result in better profits for the UK
government. Following report presents all the constraints those are necessary for the
identification of a sophisticated scope for delivering the entire project.

Political issues

community might resist the change and not willing to hand over their properties to the
government.
Loan needs to be approved that means political aspects are necessary and it becomes
crucial part to agree the government for paying the expenses needed for the delivery of the
project. The political aspects are considerable factor as all the stakeholders need to be agreed on
the same concept.
The project will include the transport and logistics for connecting the island with the
cities and thus, political agreement on this topic is crucial for the successful development and
execution of the project.
The tourism is the major sector of concern for the development and execution of this
project and hence, the tourists need to have proper passports and political approval for moving
into the island ad availing the services being offered to them.
Following are the issues those might affect the overall growth and development of the project
from the perspective of then different stakeholders:
Communication gap: The communication should be executed in an efficient and effective
manner as the project will run for long time and the stakeholders need to be well informed and
updates should be provided on regular basis. Regular meeting in every month can be
recommended as the best approach towards connecting with the stakeholders and analyzing the
different perspectives related to the project execution.
Schedule escalation: there are the possibilities that uncertainties could lead to the
enhancement in the schedule of the project and that can be eliminated through single action that
include proper and effective project planning considering every sector of the project.
