Reviewing the Project Scope The project scope will provide a clear blueprint to the type of activities expected to be undertaken in the project. The project scope will include the shift of company operations to a new location which will accommodate more than 300 employees. Employees are therefore a first priority in the project scope because the project aims at relocating the employees without interfering with the company’s operations. Secondly, the scope of the project encompasses the expansion of company operations by opening up a new office in a separate building. Since there is no time to set up a new building for the company, the best possible course of action would be to identify a new building, not very far from the headquarters. The leasing cost for the new building is bound to be lower than the current leasing costs incurred by the company in its current building. However, this does not mean that the building ought to be sub-standard. The company requires a decent building that can host 300 employees, with a seamless ease of operations (some of these employees will be new employees, freshly recruited to fill the vacant positions created from the company’s expansion plans). The building also needs to be in a good location that supports the operations of airline company workers. The new building is not expected to be far from the company headquarters because the shift will involve a lot of office and personnel transfers. Part of the project scope will also be, to organize the transfer of some office equipment form the company head office to the new building. The transfer of office equipment will be made by a courier company, but since the company does not intend to spend much money in the transfer of the equipments, the new building is expected to be in close proximity to the company headquarters (not more than 30 kilometers). The transfer of office equipment will involve the transfer of goods, such as, photocopying machines, fax machines, filing cabinets and computer hardware; but it will not involve the transfer of office furniture from the company headquarters. The last objective of the project will be to ensure the operation of the business is not interfered in any manner during the relocation process. The entire project scope therefore ought to be effectively completed without slowing down the company’s operations. This shift ought to be completed in six months or less. Risk Assessment The following elements pose the highest risk for this project: Unrealistic Schedules and Budgets Unrealistic schedules and budgets can ultimately bring an entire project to a halt, considering budgets and schedules are the major blueprints to the implementation of project plans (Niels 2005, p. 2). Budgets essentially design the costs requirements for each facet of the project implementation process, and if it is overestimated or underestimated; the project design and its antecedents may be ineffective. Unrealistic schedules also imply that, there is minimal likelihood that the project will be completed in time (because from project scheduling, project activities are able to be properly coordinated and carried out within the right time). Continuing Stream of Requirement Changes Requirement changes may significantly hamper efforts to undertake the project in due time, and within
