Management

INTRODUCTION
• Project management is an essential function or method that is used by business to bring a
innovation, manage and control any new business project effectively to achieve the goals
in a proper way (Kerzner and Kerzner, 2017). This presentation is in context to
Bathstore.com that is a leading specialist bathroom retailers in UK with around 164
stores all around the country. Various steps are involved in a project management plan
that will be included in this presentation related to the company. Furthermore, the report
will determine budget, method and other elements that are essential to complete the
project of office move.

IDEA OF THE PROJECT : OFFICE MOVE
• Proper management and planning are the
key to a successful moving of office like
any other major project (Harrison and
Lock, 2017). Bathstore needs to develop an
office relocation project plan after making a
decision to relocate the their office. This is
an essential element or step that needs to be
taken in a project of office move.

ANALYSIS
• In order to move the office it is important to analyze each and every
element related to the moving of the project. As project manager I
selected 10 individuals from each department of the company to assist me
in this project (Planning office move, 2016). The project will focus
managing cost, time and resources effectively that will be required to
complete this project

Key Stakeholders
• The major stakeholders for this project mainly includes five groups –
upper management, consulting firm, vendors employees and customers.
The upper management and employees are part of Bathstore, employees
represent managers and staff of various departments in the organization.
In order to use and install technologies in the new office IT department
will also play a vital role as an stakeholder.

THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
• In order to complete this project lean startup model has been used which is
very effective in creating a new product or in a start up. As a project
manager I did not spent much on research or generating idea for office
move. I validated a new office idea by developing a minimum viable
thought and strategies for the new office.

• Other than Lean startup model, another theory of project management was
applied in office move, The Six sigma approach. It helped in improving
the activities and efficiency by reducing waste of resources in the project
and minimizing the cost.
