Description

Phase II: Planning and Implementation

In Phase II of the Process Improvement Project you will be creating a project timeline to help you implement the proposed solution to the problem statement defined in Phase I. As a project leader, you will need to consider several things before you start the project. The project leader must preplan, plan, and kickoff the project.

Planning of the Project

As the project leader, write 500-750 words that address these items:

  1. Identify which methodologies and strategies you will implement to meet your goals. Provide rationale for why you did not select some of the other methodologies and strategies.
  2. Which business functions will be impacted by your action plan? What tactics will you use to manage implementation across business functions? What can you do to enhance collaboration/cross-functionality to ensure the success of your plan?
  3. Timeline: Create a timeline to implement the proposed improvement to the problem and identify the critical path components.
  4. Communication plan: Using your completed quality tools analysis and stakeholder analysis, create a communication plan for disseminating your action plan to all of the stakeholders. Which strategies do you plan to utilize and why? Your plan should demonstrate how you plan to use formal and informal communication channels to implement the plan. In addition, explain how the communication plan addresses what you are hoping to achieve with your goal.

Project Kickoff and Implementation of the Project

Successfully improving the value chain requires the willingness of required stakeholders to participate. Imagine you are presenting your project plan in a meeting to all the essential stakeholders for approval. Effective oral communication is essential in the business setting so you will need to present your project plan logically and comprehensively to the stakeholders.

Create a PowerPoint presentation (7-10 slides) specifying the problem statement, stakeholders, proposed solution, timeline, and communication plan to implement the project. Record yourself presenting the plan and then post your video using YouTube, Vimeo, or any other video site that allows you to post your video. Be sure to address the "why" and "how" in your narrative. Refer to the materials section of Topic 8 for privacy settings when using YouTube.

Phase III: Evaluation

In the final step for your plan, state in 250-300 words the metrics you will use to determine project implementation success. Please justify why you have selected those metrics. Include specific metrics that will be used to evaluate the success of the implementation. How long will the project team monitor project implementation?

Project Planning
Project planning entails detailing of procedures, activities, and steps from the start of the
project to the end. It is one of the essential steps in the project management since it is in this
particular step that all the planning and scheduling of project activities are conducted to ensure
the project is a success (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). In the planning phase, necessary project
documentation is done to ensure that the plan includes all the essential details to foster project
success. The major goal of the project planning phase to help in establishing a clear definition of
all major tasks within the project and conducting estimation of the time and resources needed for
successful completion of the project (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). In the project management
process, the planning phase provides an overview of the project from the start phase to
completion. It also provides a structure for the management review allowing the project leaders
to review, allocate resources, and control the project by defining the various activities in the
project.
Methodologies and strategies to implement to meet the goals
Various methodologies and strategies can be implemented to ensure the project meets its
intended goals and objectives. The underlying project, in this case, is improving Wal-Mart
Supply Chain and Inventory Management. To effectively improve the company’s supply chain
and inventory management system, the following methodologies and strategies will be
implemented.
