BM522 Project Management: Comprehensive Road Construction Plan for TFL

This report provides a comprehensive project management plan for Transport of London (TFL) concerning a road construction project. It details the selected waterfall methodology, a Gantt chart outlining the project timeline, a stakeholder analysis identifying key stakeholders and their communication strategies, and a risk analysis matrix providing mitigation strategies for potential risks. The report also includes a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) chart, an organizational structure, and concludes with project measurement factors to ensure quality and successful project completion. The analysis considers both internal and external factors influencing the project's success, offering a structured approach to managing the TFL road construction endeavor. Desklib offers similar project management resources for students.

INTRODUCTION
Project Management (PM) can be defined as a process of leading the work of a team with
the help of which the projects goals and objectives are get achieved. The present report will
prepare the PM plan for the Transport of London (TFL) that wants to construct the road. Further,
the report will describe the methodology selected along with the Gantt chart showing total time
required to complete the project. The report will also conduct the stakeholder analysis and risk
analysis via providing proper strategies for risk mitigation.
TASK 1
Project Methodology
This is basically defines as method or practices with the help of which the project
manager can complete its project and achieve ultimate goals. For the present project plan,
waterfall methodology is best suitable and appropriate. It is because this method is one of the
most simple, easy to set up and logical method. If the project manager have identified and clear
objective then adaption & implementation of this method is beneficial. But on the other hand, the
Harrison and Lock (2017), argued that waterfall method is time consuming so their is a chance of
getting delay in project completion.

TASK 2
Gantt Chart

Manual Network Diagram

Critical Path
On the basis of above network diagram their are basically two path and that is:
Path 1: 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 9 + 10 + 20 + 21 + 22
Path 2: 1 + 2 + 4 +5+ 9 + 10 + 21 + 22
Calculation of critical path:
Path 1: 1 + 14 + 7 + 7 + 2 + 84 + 5 + 1 + 10 = 131
Path 2: 1 + 14 + 7 + 7 + 2 + 84 + 1 + 10 = 126
As critical path is the path which takes minimum time to complete the project thus in this case
Path 2 is critical because it takes shortest time i.e., 126 days.

Stakeholder Analysis
Matrix of stakeholder analysis
High
Power  National Media.
 Construction Company.
 Health Secretary.
 Project Sponsor.
 Construction site managers.
Low
Power  Local transport company.
 Local schools.
 Employees.
 Machinery suppliers.
 Local Residents.
Low Interest High Interest
On the basis of above stakeholder analysis, it is identified that their are three internal as
well as external stakeholders which have high interest but because of low power do not take part
in project plan. So, in order to solve the issues the appropriate communication strategy need to be
adopted by the company which helps in timely completion of road construction (Silvius, 2017).
