Project Design

What Is Project Design?

It is necessary in project management, an early process that makes your project come to life. It’s known as a starting
phase for the project, because without it, you really don’t have the tools or the blueprint to get the project going.

In this phase, you plan all of a project’s key features, its elements for success, major deliverables, structure, and more.
Usually in this phase, you’ll come up with one or more designs that will showcase and later be used to achieve your
projected goals. Thanks to project design, stakeholders are then able to choose the best design for the fulfillment of the
project, making the whole process smoother and easier for the entire team.
Project Control and Monitoring

Importance of Project Control and Monitoring?

Project monitoring and control is a project management phase that’s dedicated to measuring project performance and
making sure that it adheres to what’s been set in the project plan. Project managers will closely track the progress
and performance of the project, review project status, identify potential problems and implement corrective actions when
required to keep the project on schedule and within budget

Project monitoring and controlling are so important to project management that it’s one of the five project management
processes. As noted, project monitoring goes hand-in-hand with project execution to ensure that as tasks are being
completed they’re staying on schedule and keeping to the project’s budget.
Project Control and Monitoring

Project Monitoring Steps:

1. Create a Project Scope Baseline


A project scope defines the expectations and requirements of the project stakeholders. It’s used throughout the project to
monitor progress

2. Make a Project Schedule Baseline


This allows project managers to track project variance and take corrective action to get the project back on track. It also
helps with stakeholder communication , as they’re always interested in if the project is on schedule. A project schedule
baseline is another necessary project control.

3. Estimate Project Costs and Define a Project Budget


The more accurate your project costs, the more accurate your project budget. Once you’ve submitted a budget and it’s been
approved by stakeholders, the last thing you want to do is request more funds to deliver the project. There are various
techniques you can use to accurately estimate costs and plan your budget accordingly. Now, you’ll want to monitor all
project expenses and use change control system to track the project costs and respond to any discrepancies. You can also
make a baseline of the budget to use that to compare actual against planned costs as a way to monitor spending.
Project Control and Monitoring

4. Use a Risk Log


The risk log will help you stay alert for issues that are likely to impact the project, whether for good or bad. If an issue is
identified, you can respond quickly and effectively.

5. Use a Change Log


A change log is a document that chronologically lists the changes that have been made to the project. This acts as a summary
of the changes you’ve made and allows project managers to track and communicate all the changes that have occurred

6. Establish Quality Control Procedures


Quality control procedures ensure that the product or service is tested and meets the standard set in the project planning

7. Use Project Monitoring Tools


Project monitoring tools are essential for project monitoring. project management software has many features that give
project managers a window into the project, whether costs, resources or time

8. Create Project Reports


Project reports provide a description of the current state of the project.All reports are important to monitor the project and
should be shared with stakeholders to update them on the project.
Excavation in project

what is the role of Excavation in project management?

Excavation is used in construction to create building foundations, reservoirs, and roads.


Some of the different processes used in excavation include trenching, digging, dredging, and
site development. Each of these processes requires unique techniques, tools, and machinery to
get the job done right.

The entire excavation process includes:

•setting out corner benchmarks


•surveying ground and top levels
•excavation to the approved depth
•dressing the loose soil
•making up to cut off level
•the construction of dewatering wells and interconnecting
trenches
•making boundaries of the building
•the construction of protection bunds and drains
