Create a response to the following scenario: During the implementation phase of a
project, as a project manager you are facing many team issues (such as family issues
and interpersonal conflicts) and these issues are creating risks that you did not anticipate
during the design phase. Create a plan to adjust the termination time of the project to
accommodate the issues presented.
We'll be happy to HELP you with this assignment. If you post your ideas for this plan, we'll be glad to critique them.
I'm not sure how to answer this one. Maybe id say that since I would have the deadline early so that when instances like these happen I can move the deadline up and it would not affect anyone.
Not a very large plan. But it would work. Basically, if you always do tasks a bit early you will always leave room for error.
That sounds like a feasible plan.
Thanks for the approval. I have been very unsuccessful in this class.:)
You're welcome. I suggest you elaborate on your ideas and present a longer, more complete answer.
Well, to start when planning for something of this magnitude you cannot get it down to an exact science. I mean that you can do all the planning in the world, and still not get everything you can possibly need.
The best thing to do is to take each issue on one by one and plan for any such instances that can and may happen. The next thing to do is to allow for milestones to be created so that they can indicate whether or not you and the project team are on track with each deliverables. If you are not on schedule analyze the cause as quickly as you can and see the extent of the damages that has occurred, and if there are solutions to right the wrong.
However, if you create a plan for such instances you would put in place.
This is call a contingency plan or back-up plan which will automatically take the place of the original plan in such cases.
This plan would be for all matters that involves the project as it enters the implementation phases.

Herro. Good call. Drink syrup.
As a project manager, facing team issues during the implementation phase can indeed pose risks and potentially impact the project timeline. To adjust the termination time of the project and accommodate the issues presented, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the issues: Start by identifying the specific team issues that are affecting the project. This could include family emergencies, personal conflicts, or any other challenges that team members are facing.
2. Assess the impact: Evaluate the extent to which these team issues are impacting the project timeline and overall progress. Understand how delays caused by the issues might affect other tasks and dependencies.
3. Prioritize tasks: Prioritize the critical tasks that need immediate attention and ensure they are addressed without any further delay. Identify any tasks that can be deferred or rescheduled to accommodate the team issues.
4. Communicate with the team: Openly communicate with your team members to understand their concerns and challenges. Encourage them to share their issues, seek support or alternative solutions, and work together to find the best way forward.
5. Re-plan and adjust the schedule: Once you have a clear understanding of the team issues and their impact, revise the project schedule accordingly. Allocate additional time for tasks that are delayed due to the issues and adjust the overall project timeline to accommodate the risks.
6. Update stakeholders: Inform the relevant stakeholders about the adjustments made to the project timeline and the reasons behind it. Highlight the anticipated impact on the project's completion and discuss any necessary trade-offs or adjustments to expectations.
7. Mitigate risks: As you adjust the termination time of the project, consider any potential risks that may arise from the changes. Implement risk mitigation strategies to minimize the impact of the issues on the project and ensure smooth progress moving forward.
8. Monitor and adapt: Continuously monitor the progress of the project, tracking the impact of the team issues and assessing whether the adjusted termination time is realistic. Stay in regular communication with your team and stakeholders, adjusting the plan if necessary, and ensuring that any future risks are proactively addressed.
By following these steps, you can develop a plan to adjust the termination time of the project, accommodating the team issues that have arisen during the implementation phase. It is crucial to maintain open communication, prioritize tasks, and regularly assess and adapt the plan to minimize risks and keep the project on track.
