Outdoor building projects are often affected by weather factors, and bad weather can cause the project to be suspended or postponed. ● Poor communication. Lack of communication or poor communication may be the death of the project. Project managers need to communicate with stakeholders and senior management in order to get their support. At the same time, the project manager must communicate clearly with the team members so that the team members can better complete the task. ● Unrealistic Epectations. Sometimes the expectations of stakeholders are impractical. For example, the function of an amusement park is to meet the needs of children and residents, but it is impossible to meet the needs of all, regardless of the final project deadline or lack of resources. Project managers should advocate for stakeholders not to set unrealistic expectations. WEEK 1: TERM PROJECT BACKGROUND Reference Novotny, R.

Retrieved from https://esub.com/7-most-common-challenges-inconstruction-project-management/ 6 Project Overview Summer Job WEB SITE for Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce: I have just returned from a meeting with a local Chamber of Commerce. The Cape Cod Chamber (http://www.capecodchamber.org) is concerned with ensuring that small business employers catering to the tourist industry (i.e. restaurants, kayak and bicycle rental, beach concessions, boutiques, variety stores, etc.) are able to find qualified seasonal employees for the summer tourist season, typically high school and college students. These businesses are not able to use search engines like Monster, Indeed, JustHired – in fact, many of the business owners are limited in computer applications. Currently, the Chamber hosts a web page that provides available full-time professional jobs. For the summer hiring season, the chamber wants to expand these job search functions for seasonal jobs with the target-hiring group to be high school and college students. This project is to define, plan, design, build and implement a web application for these local employers to advertise and recruit high school and college students. The Chamber has asked that this solution be a stand along web site instead of being an enhancement to the existing site. A new domain name and hosting site will need to be procured. It will be important to add a link to the existing web site to connect to this new site. Project work must include the selection of the domain name and hosting site. A draft WBS, duration estimates and schedule have been completed by the project team (attached). I quickly volunteered our PJM 6015 class to create the risk management plan, risk register, and integration of risk work with the other planning components. The Chamber leadership group has provided some direction for the website. It will allow local employers to post jobs and accept resumes. It will allow high school and college students the ability to search for and apply for jobs. It will also provide the ability for employers and applicants to send communication back and forth. Project Objective/ Success Criteria (Charter): To plan, design, build and implement a web application that will allow employers to post jobs and receive resumes. It will allow applicants to search for and apply for jobs and for employers and applicants to send communications. Planning is to commence on January 10 and to be completed by April 2. . The work to create the website will begin on April 4 and completed in time to introduce this web service to small businesses at the Chambers Annual Meeting, to be held on October 10. The agenda of this session is to hold a brief business meeting. The majority of the day is to train employers on the capabilities and use of the website. It will be the responsibility of the project team to plan for and conduct this day. A venue for the meeting will need to be contracted and food for the day will need to be provided.
