The report is based on the case study on the commonwealth games stadium where the company Arup is going to build around 47000. The project is a big project from July 1, 2012, to the start of the 2024 season. The case study is also telling that the project management for this project must be strong because they are bound to deliver this project or complete the whole construction in the given time. If the company will fail to complete the project, the report is focusing on managing the work plan of the company. Furthermore, the report focuses on the identification as well as discuss the methods of the project planning as well as the project controls are also discussed in the report which can be used in the report. For the stadium project, the network schedule is constructed which can make a team of the development able to complete the project timely. The related diagrams such as the network diagram, Gantt chart, etc. are also included in the report which is showing the limitations as well as maximum to for every task. Furthermore, every task, as well as procedure, needs some kind of timescale for management, so the Gantt chart resolves this issue. Although, the work breakdown structure is also given which tells how the project manager will work as well as how the departments are distributed and what kind of tasks they are performing. For making WBS in Microsoft excel is used. The project management methodologies can be more effective in the project. In the last of the report, a brief summary of the whole report and some recommendations are also given in the last of the report in the conclusion as well as recommendations.

Project Planning & Project Controls

Project Planning of Commonwealth Games

The project methods are discussed in this report which is telling that what are the significant things that must be used apply in the project because the methods for project planning which are selected for completing the project are very effective. The selected methods can be general for the readers but these approaches provide more strength to project manager which guides how they can manage better as well as how they can remove ambiguities from the planning. The selected methods for project management. The methods of project planning are as follows for such a project (Platje & Wadman, 1994).

Goal of Commonwealth Games

The goal of the company (Arup) is to make around 47000 seats as well as the project is a big project from July 1, 2012, to the start of the 2024 season. The timeline of this project will be aligned as well as the company also trying to estimate the expected budget making the seats, demolishing

Goal Setting of Commonwealth Games

As Arup identifies the significant things about some aspects of making seats, building and maintaining the building stadium as well as building the roof of the stadium. The project managers have set goals that they have to build and make the seats around 47000 seats in the stadium as well as the goal is also divided into the sub-goals of this project by generating the network schedule and Gantt chart for each task. The main goals of the company are to construct the stadium in the year of 2021 as well as complete this construction at the start of 2024 and they must have to focus on the construction project completed on time to avoid the penalty per day in case of missing of the deadline. The Sub goals are also defined such as they must have to work in the budget as well as reducing costs on the construction that will increase the revenue of the project management team (Platje & Wadman, 1994).

SMART of Commonwealth Games

In the SMART step, the project management team of the company focuses on its goal and the methodology of the construction will be specific. Project Manager along with team brainstorms on the goal as well as sub-goals for calculating each task as well as they also measure that each task and work actions can take estimated time. For instance, the project management team of the company did also measure the retractable roof of the stadium can take 70 days. The demolishing of the structure of the building as well as creating the construction stage can take at least 30 days as well as making the construction site will also take 70 days. The driving of 60 pillars in the construction site to support stadium building will also take 120 days. For the concrete bowl, they will need 120 more days because it is the basic thing for the construction of the building of the stadium. After construction of the structure of stadium the luxury boxes (90 days), installation of the seats in stadium will take 140 days, jumbotrons 30 days, 120 days for the installation of stadium infrastructure including bathrooms, doors, restaurants, lockers, and many more small things. So, all of these things, as well as many other remaining things, are also planned in the estimated maximum days. For all of the construction as well as installation of the related things (Faniran, 2005).

Project Controls of Commonwealth Games

The project controls are included for the project definition, goal setting, execution, as well as the completion of the project. The project control concerns the demolition of the stadium structure, site construction, project construction, construction and installation of the retractable roof of the stadium as well as installation of seats in the stadium. The project control basically controls all of the related labors and employees working on the project including other stakeholders as well as controls all of the related activities and the performances of the employees to complete the stadium construction within the given time by the start of 2024. First of all, the managers of the project team identify what the actual goal which is constructing the building of the stadium, as well as some strategies, are also defined to construct stadium timely. They focus purely on the outcomes of the project as well as they also construct strategies to reduce the costs on the construction to save resources and also make further strategies to use the available resources within time (Nurre & Weir, 2017).

The project managers did also develop the specific time schedule completing the project as well as some maintenance during the construction of completed sites also scheduled. The estimation of the cost is also a big part of the project. The company is currently working on the construction project, so they have to estimate the costs of engineering. The strategy for controlling the costs as well as for the assessment of the value of the project is also covered. Some risks which can be occurred in case of loss of the resources as well as demolishing the building materials in case of any natural disaster are also estimated because if any kind of mishap occurs during the construction or during the installation of the significant items in the stadium, then how much time they will require to overcome (Ballard, 2008). The related diagrams such as the network diagram, Gantt chart, etc. are also included in the report which is showing the limitations as well as maximum to for every task. Furthermore, they also make the strategies for avoiding expected problems and issues which can damage the construction or stadium in the future. Assessment of the risks will also be performed because the engineers will make the design layout of this project according to such kind of risks (Ballard, 2008).

To manage all the construction project, the work breakdown structure is also developed for making the timeline to perform and complete the project. The project managers also allocate the tasks to every project activity. The project documentation is the significant part of the project which tells that what is the main goals is as well as the documentation of the project will also provide the significant information about the activities, strategies as well as the cost and labors. In the last activity of project control, the manager as well as the supervisors also assess the quality of the work as well as they must have to oversight on the resources of the project as well the performance of every employee during the construction of the stadium. The managers of the project team identify what the actual goal which is constructing the building of the stadium, as well as some strategies, are also defined to construct stadium timely. The company is currently working on the construction project, so they have to estimate the costs of engineering. The related diagrams such as the network diagram, Gantt chart, etc. are also included in the report which is showing the limitations as well as maximum to for every task. The oversight process in the project will help the mangers to evaluate the performance of every employee in as well as it will also provide help to reduce the risks in the project. They must have to take feedback from every employee about the work to increase the satisfaction of every employee (Konchar & Sanvido, 1998).
