This project management assignment focuses on developing and launching a cultural diversity awareness campaign within a global company to improve cross-cultural communication among its diverse workforce. The project plan includes an initial assessment of resources, schedule, and costs required for various activities leading to the final campaign plan. The report covers key aspects such as project change management, defining roles and activities for controlling project changes, and a project measurement plan for evaluating the strategy and technology employed. It also addresses risk management, human resource management, and stakeholder engagement, aiming to complete the project within the estimated time and budget while ensuring the campaign meets its intended outcomes.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Review of the project management plan
The project is developed for the management of cultural diversity in the global market
place and enable competitive advantage for the business. The human resources needed for the
management of the business process is needed to be managed and they should be encouraged
for actively involving in the current business for enabling cross culture communication and
eliminate the communication barrier for improving the current performance in the business.
An initial planning is needed to be made for the scheduling the activity and develop the
project and developing the final campaign planning (Liu, Meng & Fellows, 2015).
Information about religion, economy, gender and work ethics is needed to be contrasted and
compared for eliminating the cultural diversity and performance of the organization. The
information needed for development of the project is needed to be gathered along with the
cost needed for the completion of the project. An estimation should be made for the time
needed for the completion of each of the activity and the key performance indicator and the
cost performance index should be analysed for the identification of root cause of the cost
overrun and suggest a suitable technique that can help in eliminating the problem (Binder,
2016). It is the responsibility of the project manager and the team members for monitoring
the progress of the project and distribute the knowledge about the project progress and the
requirement to the team members such that the communication gap between the team
members are reduced. The GP plan is needed to be updated for completing the project on
time and identify the threats associated with the project development.

Project change management plan
A project change management plan is necessary for defining different roles and
activities essential for controlling the changes in the project and execute the stages of the
project. The project baseline is measured for the identification of the changes and providing a
detailed description about the project scope, plan and budget for the management of risks and
different issues faced for the management of cultural diversity of the project (Wrench, 2016).

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The project development team, project manager, stakeholders and the sponsors of the project
is needed to be involved in the change management plan. The changes in the project can
occur throughout the lifecycle of the project and it helps in controlling the effects that can be
caused due to the changes in the project. The change management in the project is necessary
for the management of cost overrun and completing the project within the estimated time and
budget (Sartin et al., 2018). The success of the project is dependent of the success of the
change management and no changes should be made without evaluation and approval of the
changes in the project.
The change management helps in ensuring that the project meets the intended
outcomes for researching a key element and achieving better outcomes. For the preparation of
the changes a change management strategy is needed to be prepared and a team should be
created for the implementation of the model. The change management plan is needed to be
developed and action should be taken for the implementation of the plan (Mach & Baruch,
2015). For the reinforcement of the change the feedback should be collected and analysed
and a gaps is needed to be diagnosed for the implementation of corrective actions and
successfully develop the project. Feedback should be collected, the compliance is needed to
be audited, diagnosis and gaps in communication is needed to be identified and pockets of
resistance is needed to be identified for the management of the changes.
Project measurement plan
It is created for measuring the strategy and the technology followed by the
organization for leading the project to succeed and completed within the estimated time. The
return of investment and the productivity is needed to be evaluated and can help in
identification of the overhead cost, training cost and the other expenses associated with the
project (Siakas & Siakas, 2015). The cost of quality is needed to be calculated by estimating

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
the cost of labour, replacement and damages that are causes to the material for the
development of the project should be calculated (Deresky & Christopher, 2015). The
performance cost is needed to be divided with the employees such that they can be
appreciated for improving the performance. The financial risk is needed to be identified for
increasing the accuracy in estimating the budget and schedule the performance for improving
the efficiency of the project. The project and the process cycle of the project is needed to be
defines at the beginning of the project such that the performance of the project is never down
and help in increasing the benefit of the organization (Nelson, 2018). A survey is needed to
be made on the project statement and alignment of the strategic objectives for improving the
return of investment, schedule performance and eliminating the process error and defects in
the current process for increasing the efficiency of the project.
