Introduction to project management/IPM104/Implementation/Tasks Getting things done

Once your project has commenced, it is likely that you need to consider progress and changes that may occur from the original plan.

Your task is to complete two (2) elements necessary in the implementation phase: Consider an element of your project that needs to be completed before another element can be started e.g when building a bathroom the plumbing needs to be installed before the walls and floors can be covered.If you completed IPM103 Planning a Project you could use the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Gantt charts you prepared to identify an appropriate task to track and monitor, but this is not necessary.
 * An implementation document that includes progress measurement and response to deviation, and
 * A change control document

Explain how you might measure progress towards the goal you have identified, and describe what you would do if progress is not in line with your original plan. Create and complete a change control template for your project because the element you identified above will not be completed as originally forecast. You can source a template online, or develop your own.

Marking Rubric
Use the rubric below to work out if you have done a good job. This is the same rubric that will be used to mark your assessment if you choose to be formally assessed.
