Project Management: Analysis of Sorento Quay Water Pollution Project

This project management assignment focuses on addressing the water pollution problem at Sorento Quay. The project encompasses a detailed case study, scope statement, cost estimates using analogous, parametric, and bottom-up methods, and a stakeholder management plan identifying key stakeholders and their roles. It includes a work breakdown structure, communication plan, risk analysis with a risk management plan, and a procurement plan. A Gantt chart, critical path, and critical chain analysis are provided, along with a comprehensive cost baseline. The project aims to establish an environmental testing lab to analyze and clean polluted water, with deliverables including lab setup, testing, and reporting, culminating in a presentation and acceptance by the Joondalup City Council. The assignment highlights project limitations, acceptance criteria, and the importance of effective cost management throughout the project lifecycle. The risk analysis identifies potential environmental disasters, issues with stakeholders, and problems in sample collection, along with mitigation strategies. Finally, the assignment includes a detailed procurement plan outlining the acquisition of necessary materials and resources.

Assessment Task 1: Assignment
1. Case Study
Sorento Quay is one of famous waterways that is getting polluted day by day because it
does not flow back from and to the Indian ocean. There can be other reasons also for water
pollution such as dumping of solid waste, acid rain, global warming etc. Therefore, there is a
major need to save the water from being polluted and make ways that can further reduce the
possibility of water pollution.
The project requires at a minimum the high-level work activities as follows:
 Lab. setup
 Lab testing
 Obtain and test water (iterative process)
 Conclusion report
 Presentation
 Acceptance by Joondalup City Council
2. Scope Statement
In this project, Small testing environmental project is established that help to clean the
polluted water of Sorento Quay. The project's achievement includes comprehensive scheduling
and implementation over an expanded period of moment (Alexander, 2013). The cooperation of
stakeholders is important to achievement, but a few important stakeholders are listed underneath
in the Stakeholder Management Plan.
Problem statement
The problem is identified by Joondalup City Council as the main cause of the problem of
water pollution is the polluted water of the city is coming to Sorento Quay. The dumping of the
solid waste by the population of the city is raising and water is polluted.
Project goal and objectives :
1

The main purpose behind it to eradicate the problem of the water pollution of the particular area
to neat and clean the environment factor and so the people nearby Sorento Quay can take neat
and clean breathe as well as improve the air quality in the environment.
Project deliverables:
The essential items that are required to be delivered on exact time so that activity related
to cleaning of Sorento Quay could be completed on desired time. Various items such as stability
chambers, pH meters, refractometer, biofuel analysers, balances evaporators, temperature
chambers and sample prep equipment must be delivered by Laboratory Analysers that is consider
to be the biggest supplier of laboratory equipment in entire Australia.
Project limitation:
This particular project is limited to the implication of the costing system and as per the
method of project management.
Project acceptance criteria:
The Joondalup City Council is required to review the progress of the projects in order to
complete the authenticity of project so that polluted water can be cleaned (Brewer and Dittman,
2018).
2. Estimates
Cost management mainly requires an efficient cost analysis to be undertaken in project's
effective execution (Davis, 2014). Three kinds of projections have been compelled for project in
interest of efficient cost management. The three kinds of methods conducted are analogous
estimates, parametric estimates and estimates from the bottom up. Here the project related to
establish.

5. Communication Plan.
Communication management strategy defines a variety of stakeholders' that requires
meaningful information related to project (Eskerod and Vaagaasar, 2014). This is crucial because
it could be expensive to neglect any stakeholder while implementing a project.
