Project Title: Integrated project delivery approaches

Introduction:

Designing of portfolio items list helps in evaluating the lesson learned from the past experiences and in evaluating different project delivery methods which are implemented for bringing sustainability in completing project. Different methodologies are used for integrating project delivery approaches so that scheduling of project is capable of fulfilling requirement of the owner. There are various project management methods such as waterfall, agile, six sigma, prince2, and others which help in modelling the project to retrieve success within allocated time and budget. Key element of project success is the capability of project manager in taking effective decision in choosing right project management methodologies for completing tasks. Complexity of organization culture is solved by accompanying integrated project delivery approaches because it focuses on providing systematic structure and coordination in business activities. Depth of project success has been learned from the past experiences and its impact on the organization. In this paper, we are going to design portfolio activities by collecting data on the job description of project manager from the past experience, reviewing job advertisement at 5 different locations, collecting relevant knowledge and ideas from the interview session organized on project practitioners, and develop a project delivery plan.

Job DescriptionRole of project manager in utilizing project team and project delivery approach1Requirement specification plan designingDesigning of project plan depends on requirement specification plan. Requirement specification plan is created by having face to face communication with the stakeholders (Anderson, 2015)Identification of resources required to complete the project undertaken (Badewi, 2015)Required to keep temporary check on business process, project start up, and replacement with new project schedule (Bogason, & Dahl, 2015)Identifying constraints associated with the project in terms of time, cost, resources, and quality (Carcano, & et.al., 2016)Reviewing tasks and sub-task of project to analyse complexities associated with it (Cousillas, 2010).Identifying changes required in the project requirement file to gain satisfaction of end usersEnabling harmony and coordination among team members (Damoah, 2015)He is responsible for simplifying project schedule and approach by integrating effective project management delivery approach (Ennouri, 2013)Development of risks strategy and risk mitigation helps in minimizing impact of them on the process undertaken (Gupta, 2019)From the past experience, I have realised that success and failure of project depends on the decision taken and implemented by the project manager at right time. It helps in synchronising business process according to the desired goal and objectivesActivities are designed in the direction of project goal (Hamad, 2018)Estimation of budget is done by analysing historical reports of projectEstimation of time duration is done by analysing historical reports of project (Hamid, Raza, and Naqvi, 2013)Estimation of quality standards is done by analysing historical reports of projectData retrieval is required to be done according to the demand of resourcesValue of project depends on completion within projected time and cost and within quality standardsMeasuring outcome of project with the checklist of requirement specification plan so that maximum value obtained by project is determined (Haron, & et.al., 2013)Distribution of work with respect to capability and willingness of resourcesRealistic duration of time and cost is provided to resources for completing their respective work (Haughey, 2014)Motivation helps in managing connection between resource work done and final outcome of projectCoordination and communication are two major success factors because it give rise to team work synchronizationDetermining critical activities and risks factors plays a crucial role in controlling time to finish undertaken taskDetermining critical activities and risks factors plays a crucial role in controlling budget to finish undertaken task (Hornstein, 2015)Keeping balance of information flow between client and team membersProvides guidelines to subordinateTypes of activities interdependencies are Start to start, start to finish, finish to start, and finish to finish (Itegi, 2015)

Multinational role of Project Manager role151 ResponsibilitiesStrategic planning From the investigation, it has been found that project manager performs various responsibilities to achieve project goal and objectives (. The graph below shows role crucial role played by the project manager in different phases of project management approach:  It has been seen that major role played by the project manager is during project planning and in performing execution, monitoring and controlling phase (Mansfield Community, 2013). Success and failure of project depends on the creative thinking applied in synchronising project activities.  Graph below shows tools and technique used for controlling project life cycle  Value of project increases by following legal laws and ethical code of conduct at work place. Systematic growth of the project depends on the effective utilization of resources, time, and cost. Parameters which are required to organize project efficiently are budgeting, planning, scheduling, resource utilization, supervision, staffing, directing, controlling, managing formal and informal communication between working units by using different modes of information transmission channels, synchronising activities, and managing supply and demand of resources (Monnappa, 2017). Success of project depends on minimizing complexities of processes by developing proactive action plan for mitigating risks (Mossalam, and Arafa, 2016). Monitoring and execution of project helps in designing innovation and change requirement to meet the satisfaction level of end users. Variance of cost and schedule can be minimized by monitoring cost performance index and schedule performance index (Newman, 2018).

Investigate Interview210 Project Practitioner 1Project management approaches used in developing project scheduleIt has been learned that limitation in project scheduling, time management, cost management, unclear goal and objectives, division of role and responsibilities, and functional requirement can be fulfilled by deploying integrated project delivery approach because it helps in alliancing project according to the requirement of the end users by managing legal contract with them. Working of the resources can be improved by providing authorisation and authentication of completing their respective work within the mentioned deadline. Success of project can be measured by implementing sequential approach of integrated project delivery method. There are eight phases which are named as conceptualization phase for developing project plan, design phase for creating schema designing of project, detailed designing phase for creating detailed designing of project, implementation phase for preparing documentation to handover project to the authorised party, review phase is for collecting feedback from the end user to measure success and failure of project, buyout phase is for development of cost management plan, construction phase is for completing construction work of the project to deliver it on time, and close out phase for closing project. Interview with project practitioner helps in identifying relevancy and appropriateness of integrated project delivery approach in increasing efficiency of budgeting, planning, scheduling, resource utilization, supervision, staffing, directing, controlling, managing formal and informal communication between working units by using different modes of information transmission channels, synchronising activities, and managing supply and demand of resources.
