Expected outcomes and deliverables

Phase 1 – Project Scope and Communication Plan: Team members (4-5 program participants) will meet with organization representative(s) to discuss the project goals and devise the project scope. The scope of the project should have enough complexity and variety to allow the group to demonstrate the application of all the ten Project Management Knowledge Areas. A product description of the planned results and communication plan will be submitted for approval.

Phase 2 – Status Reports: The Project Team will prepare a project charter and then will periodically provide project status updates and communicate with your organization as needed.

Phase 3 – Project Management Plan and Presentation: The Project Team will submit a final detailed report of 30 to 40 pages. The final Project Management Plan will reference the Project Charter and the Product Description, Scope Statement, WBS, project schedule and milestone chart, baseline for schedule and cost (S-curve), staffing, risk response plan, and other information that will be relevant to each specific project or industry. All the Project Teams will be taking turns presenting their project in-class on the last day of the program, and organization representatives are invited to attend

Project Examples

Work with us to establish the scope and specifications of the project and our program participants in teams of 4-5 will develop a project charter, specifications and a full project management plan. The Project Management Plan will define how the project will be executed, monitored and controlled, and it may include the following:

  • Baselines for scope, schedule, and cost
  • Management plans for scope, schedule, cost, quality, human resources, communications, risk, and procurement
  • Requirements management plan
  • Change management plan
  • Configuration management plan
  • Process improvement plan

Example projects include, but are not limited to:

  1. Plan for a sustainable architecture and ecological design that protect and enhance the environment for Oshawa South.
  2. Plan to construct a pipeline from Toronto to Sarnia for transporting oil from Toronto Harbour.
  3. Plan for design and construction of a daycare centre in North York near the subway.
  4. Plan for retrofitting a water treatment plant that has been under-performing.
  5. Plan for providing renewable solar energy to a hamlet in Nunavut.
