The effective planning and management of the project are important in order to
fulfil the project requirements as per the contract of the project. Through the
readings, I learned that it is important to develop the project plan so that the
project can meet the demands stated by clients. The key areas include the
effective management of the project team and making the team understand
about the project objectives in an effective manner. The communication with
the team members is important in order to deliver good quality of project.
Portfolio management help in analysing the return on the project through
organizing the data. The reading material helped me in establishing the

There are many of the techniques and the tools that are used for the
investigation of the project process so that the effective project plan can be
developed, which can meet the project contract conditions. There are different
types of plan such as quality plan, risk management plan, project schedule plan,
and such other plans are developed with the help of using the tools that
includes WBS, Gantt chart, risk register matrix and others.
The use of the tools in an effective manner is essential for meeting the
conditions of the project contract (Haughey, 2018).

in developing the selection criteria. The processes helps in conveying the right

The effective strategies for the management of the activities of the project are
important. It is essential to develop the quality and risk management plan so
that the activities of the project can be accomplished and no such variations can
be identified in the project quality. The effective communication plan can help in
reducing the chances of the delay and consumption of the extra cost due to
delay in the project delivery as per the project contract (Anderson & Merna,
2003). The reading material helped me in providing with the insights related to
the management strategies in an effective manner.

5. Demonstrate an

collaborative peer
group learning.
The project can be accomplished successfully when there is cooperation and
continuous communication between the project manager and the project team.
The project manager is responsible for maintaining the flow of the information.
It is important to support the team so that they meet the requirements of the
project contract. I think that in order to maintain the professionalism, it is
important to develop an effective communication plan and develop the
environment of learning so that the team can work through learning the
important skills and contributing in the project success (Rajkumar, 2010).
