Project Management Audit Summary
Project Audit Summary
CTC
CTC has been contracted to build a 7/8 scale model of the Ansari X Gauchito Rocket. The scale model will be used to test functionality of the rocket without incurring costs of building a full size rocket. The project plan has been constructed detailing each phase of the project as well as all practiced used to implement. This Audit will be used to summarize the best practices being implemented as well as areas that need to be improved. The Audit will serve as a tool to help the project team be more efficient in addition to the actual audit.
The project plan was very well defined and each section of the project plan is clear and concise paying particular attention to detail. Each Phase of the project is completely broken down step by step in the WBS and the key personnel for each phase is listed. The cost analysis is sound and extremely detailed. This allows the key shareholders to closely follow the budget and still have the project meet their needs. Personnel needs are clearly defined with specific job requirements as well as outside staffing needs. The communications plan is detail oriented and ensures that lines of communication are open for the duration of the project
While this plan is extremely detailed and well thought out there are a few areas of concern. While there is no scheduling tool since the WBS is used to implement the schedule of deliverables there should be a section covering the severity of potential scheduling impacts. While most scheduling concerns are accounted for in the original timeline of the project potential impacts should still be quantified so the shareholders can be aware of potential scenarios. While the communications plan was very detailed in the form of communication it did not specify who would receive the communications. It is important for the project team to know who they are to communicate to. This will decrease confusing when communication does occur and will save time and prevent
