Week 7 Discussion
KMGT-680-2A: Introduction to Project Management
Discussion Question (7)
H000319111
When a project comes to an end successfully, it shows that it was handled well which creates an avenue for more projects in the future. The experiences gotten by the team members will increase and they will work well because they have been appraised from the just concluded one. The reputation of the company is also rated high because the PM and the team have performed but the reverse will be the case if clients have complains from completed projects.
The PMLC is an aspect that should be carried out properly because it tells how well the preparation was done eg, planning, scoping lunching and control and monitoring. The ceremonial and formal processes are ways in which a PM can know if his/her client is happy with the outcome of the project and it simply shows the actions taken towards every task to meet the stakeholder’s requirement (Wysocki, pg.313). Before a project starts, there must be an agreement between the PM and the stakeholder. If the PM carries out all that was agreed to do during the scoping and planning phase, and he meets up with the time and budget, the stakeholder will be excited.
At the completion of every project, it is always good to hand over to the client in good condition and he should be put through on how things are operated ie, testing of equipment and presentation. This will go a long way in the rating of the firm and the PM. For instance, if a hospital is built and furnished and the building is not well done even though it was properly equipped, the sight of the poorly finished building will go a long way negatively to affect the reputation of the firm in charge of construction and that of the PM.
POST PROJECT APPRAISAL
This process is to check how well the project was executed. This proposed work is compared with what is on ground; the difference between the two can create an avenue for improvement on new projects. The consent of the end users is
