Project Management: Royale Pizza Renovation Project Analysis

This case study analyzes the project management aspects of Royale Pizza's renovation, detailing the project's schedule, budget, and execution. The project involved a comprehensive renovation of the pizza shop, including the purchase of new equipment. The assignment presents a detailed work breakdown structure (WBS), outlining tasks, durations, and resource allocation. It covers project planning, resource leveling, and budget estimation using a bottom-up approach with assigned unit costs for various resources. The project's timeline, from conception and initiation to project closure, is meticulously presented. The document highlights the critical path, potential stress points, and cost control measures. The budget estimation is based on resource allocation and unit costs. The project included design, procurement, construction, installation, painting, and final arrangements, with performance appraisal and project closure phases. This project management case study provides insights into managing costs, resources, and timelines effectively.

Schedule for the Case Study Project
Project scheduling can be done using a number of different tools and techniques. These
techniques may involve estimation of schedule manually or using suitable project management
software. In any case, the most important step to determine the schedule accurately is to develop
the work breakdown structure (WBS) of the project in which, each activity can be scheduled to
determine the final schedule of the project.

Since the most critical part of the project is the execution phase, there might exist some
stress points for the assigned resources that can cause abrupt increase in the overall project

expenses. Hence, in order to ensure the stress points do not exist on the critical path of the
project, resource leveling can be performed to distribute the work evenly among the resources.
Budget for the Case Study Project
There are several methods that can be used to determine the budget of a project. Among
these, the most effective and accurate budget estimation can be done using the bottom up
estimation technique in which resources are assigned to the work breakdown structure activities
along with unit costs. The unit costs that have been determined for this project are as follows.
Resource Name Type Max. Units Std. Rate
Project Manager Work 100% $40.00/hr
Technical Manager Work 100% $35.00/hr
Chief of Financial Operations Work 100% $30.00/hr
Resource Manager Work 100% $25.00/hr
Unskilled Labour Work 100% $40.00/hr
Skilled Labour Work 100% $150.00/wk
New Equipments Material $4,000.00
Accordingly, these resources are assigned to the work breakdown structure and the total
cost of the project is determined as shown in the following table.

Now, as a project manager, in order to control the costs of the project, it is required to
prevent unnecessary costs and complete all activities within the assigned time and budget. Even

17PROJECT MANAGEMENT
if the budget is kept the same but more time is taken to perform an activity, the cost will also
increase accordingly. However, for accidental and unforeseen expenses, a contingency budget is
always kept during budgeting of the project.
Project Risk Management Tools and Techniques
The quantitative risk analysis along with development of the risk management plan for
the project is shown in the following table (considered scale: 1 – very low, 2 – low, 3 – medium,
