TowerCo Greenfield Operation: Project Implementation and Analysis

This project report details the implementation plan for TowerCo's greenfield operation, focusing on establishing 1000 mobile telephony tower sites within a year. The project includes a cost-benefit analysis, considering revenue from anchor tenants and colocation leases against initial and ongoing costs. The scope covers tower construction and supply chain management. The report identifies potential risks such as resource uncertainty, environmental factors, and cost overruns. Key stakeholders include contractors, regulators, and operators. The implementation plan uses a Gantt chart and network diagram for project management. A governance mechanism ensures project success through top management support, KPI implementation, and monitoring. The report concludes with references to relevant academic sources.

A governance mechanism to ensure success
of the project
• Project Governance is basically linked with the project success as without top management support
ensuring project success is difficult.
• The seniors and top management of TowerCo are closely look out the work or activities of building the
tower sites in new country in order to ensure success of the project.
• Further, the project manager will also implement the key performance indicators in order to measure
the success of the project.
• After implementing the KPI, the project manager will timely monitor this for ensuring the success of
project.
