PROJ 6002 Project: Scope, Schedule, and Planning for Vehicle Facility

This report presents a comprehensive project management plan for a vehicle maintenance facility, addressing project goals, scope, schedule, and budget. It outlines the project's objectives, which include constructing a paving, runoff system, and a building with servicing and office areas. The project scope defines in-scope activities like delivering the project within budget, constructing a parking zone, and building a two-part facility. It also specifies out-of-scope items. The report includes project constraints, such as budget and quality, and assumptions related to budget and timeline. A detailed work breakdown structure (WBS) is provided, breaking down the project into phases and tasks. The project schedule is also included, showing task durations and resource allocation. A network diagram visually represents the project's workflow. The report concludes by emphasizing the importance of adhering to the schedule and scope to ensure project success.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Introduction
The project management is an approach which is used for ensuring the production of
business outcomes. The overall project management is categorized in such divisions like
project goals, project scope, work break down structure, time management, cost management,
project schedule (Kerzner, 2017). This report follows the project of vehicle maintenance
facility which consists of all the features with a location sized in small commercial building.
Here to complete the project, the project manager should follow such project management
related methodology by which the project team can achieve the success for the project
(Radujković & Sjekavica, 2017). Regarding this project, the project owner has made a
contract with a normal contractor that the project has to complete within the fixed scope as
well as fixed cost. Within this project, a paving, runoff and also a building are considered as
the project deliverable (Meredith, Mantel Jr & Shafer, 2017). Within the building, there must
implement a fire alarm system for security purposes. In this report, it has to present the
project goal as well as project scope, schedule etc.
Project goals and objectives
The project goals as well as objectives are the declaration of the project outcome
which has to be realized by the project team along with the full support. The project objective
is similar to the project goal (Heagney, 2016). Every project has a high level goal and it is too
problematic for the project team to achieve their target. To complete the project goal in a
positive way, the project chief should work with proper efficiency and instructs the exact
direction to the project team so that they can able to reach towards the project goal (Seymour
& Hussein, 2014).
According to this project, as this project relates with the vehicle maintenance facility
therefore within this project, a paving as well as a runoff and also a building has to construct

(Fleming & Koppelman, 2016). The paving should construct with asphalt along with concrete
curb as well as gutter and the runoff will construct with catch basins and also metal pipe for
draining purpose. At the opening of the project, the project boss has made a contract with a
general contractor for executing this project within the allocated time and also cost (Walker,
2015). Within this vehicle maintenance service centre, there has to keep enough space for
parking the vehicles or moving the vehicles during the servicing time. Moreover, during the
building construction, it has to construct within two parts including servicing area and also
office or training area.
Project scope
Project scope are mainly referred as the project deliverables through the entire life
span of the project (Mir & Pinnington, 2014). The project scope includes the project related
information that are required for beginning of the project. The project scope is also defined as
the process of managing project tasks that must be completed within the resources, time as
well as cost. Based on the project management oriented principles, the project scope depends
on the project requirements and for that within the project, if the requirements are not cleared,
therefore it is difficult for meeting the project scope (Leach, 2014). According to this project,
the project location is selected on the city street in the industrial park. During the starting
time of the project, the project manager has made a contract with a general contractor for
executing this project within the allocated time and also cost (Too & Weaver, 2014). Within
the scope management of the project, there exists in scope, out scope as well project
constraints and also project assumptions.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
In scope
The project in scope is described as the project activities that are required to conduct
during the lifespan of the project for succeeding the project goal (Joslin & Müller, 2015).
Here, based on this project, the in scope for this project are as follows:
 The entire project has to be delivered within the deliverables so that the project can be
considered as successful project.
 The project must complete within the allocated budget because it maintain the
feasibility of this project.
 Though this project is centred on the scenario of vehicle maintenance, therefore the
project requires to construct a parking zone for vehicles during the servicing time.
 This project is controlled by a general contractor and for this project, a number of
team members has to allocate for this project under the supervision of project
contractor (Müller et al., 2014).
 Another in scope is that the project must construct a building and the building should
be divided by two parts including a servicing area and also office purpose.
Out scope
The out scope is the project actions which do not occur during the project lifespan.
The out scope of the project are as follows:
 It does not require any air-conditioned place for the servicing area of the vehicle
maintenance facility.
 It does not require a huge level of excavation of the project site for completing this
with a grade.
 It does not install hidden camera within the servicing area of the vehicle maintenance
centre.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Constraints
The project constraints are measured as the limitations for the project. Each of the
project has a certain number of boundaries in which the project has to complete (Todorović et
al., 2015). Based on this project, the project constraints are as follows:
 The project must formulate the aims or objectives for achieving success.
 The project needs to finish within the assigned budget and also times so that it can
prove the feasibility of the project (Kerzner, 2019).
 It requires to maintain the quality for the project because within this project it has to
construct the paving as well as runoff and also two divisional building.
Assumptions
The project assumptions are as follows:
 The project manager has suspected that this project must complete within the assigned
budget.
 It has expected that this project will conduct under the supervision of general
contractor to achieve the goals.
 Another assumption is based on the project time. It has highly expected that the
project should completed within the assigned timeframe.

Conclusion
In this part, it has concluded that the project of vehicle maintenance facility project
should complete within cost and time. If the project manager follows the project schedule
therefore the project would complete within the timeframe. This report presents the project
scope as well as project goals and also objectives. Through the work break down structure,
the project activities are divided through project phases. This report also follows the network
diagram of this project. By following all of these things, the project must achieve success.
