Final Project Management Plan
It was decided by the project team that weekly meetings would be conducted every Monday from 5pm - 8pm until completion of the project which
is carded for the 8th January 2017. The purpose of meetings will be to track the progress of the project via key performance indicators, discuss any
challenges and validate completed requirements.

The need for this programme was recognized after analyzing the SEA 2017 results within the area of Point Fortin. The results revealed that a
small percentage of students within this area performed exceptionally well and of these top performers one of these students received the
highest SEA score in the country. After conducting interviews with the students and parents of these students it was noted that these students
received the additional help at home where parents were dedicated and committed to working with their children and also because of
additional classes which contributed to their success. This performance has shown the potential of students within this vicinity to perform
extremely well and with increased additional help offered to students in this vicinity this percentage of students can increase. It is also noted
that such a venture will provide support to parents who are unable to provide such additional support to their children in this area of
preparation.
The aim is to provide students with additional help that can better prepare them for the S.E.A exams, to help them reach their full potential and
to assist in providing a solid foundation for entry into secondary school. The SEA exams consists of Mathematics, English and an essay
component, however this project is solely focused on the area of Mathematics and the other components may be the potential of future projects.
To obtain support for the initiative a proposal letter was sent to the Atlantic LNG Company of Trinidad and Tobago in hope of any form of
financial assistance for the establishment of the programme. Atlantic has supported, rewarded and provided opportunities in time past to
students that have been in the top ten achievers in the SEA exam within the vicinity. After contacting the organization the company has agreed
to financially support this initiative by donating tables and chairs that accommodates 60 students and branded pencil cases for each child
registered in the programme. In addition to this financial aid a small cost of $20 per session will be attached to classes provided to assist in the
running costs of the programme. Classes will be conducted two days during the work week, accommodating 120 students per week.
8
To ensure the quality of the programme certified teachers would be involved in the teaching aspect of the programme, the programme will be
guided by present ministry curriculum standards and Atlantic has opted to assist in providing an internal audit of the programme to ensure
professionalism and quality as part of their requirements for sponsored programmes. In collaboration with this initiative letters were sent to
the Principals of the schools within the vicinity to obtain their support of the programme by completing surveys that would help the programme
meet the needs of the students and by sharing advertisement of for the programme. Also letters were sent to the President’s of the Parent and
Teachers` Association of the schools within the area to obtain their support to also share advertisement of the programme.
ASSUMPTIONS

From the information presented above we can make the following assumptions;
The project is based on a finish to start relationship
There are no lag times in the project
The only lead time that occurs is to start section 4 tasks once marketing strategies are implemented and this can be done before
registration is complete
There are over lapping tasks where more than one task is being completed at the same time

Risk Management
Risks Probability Control Measures
1. Too many students register and there are limited Medium • There should be a cut of point for registration once the maximum
resources number of students have registered
2. Too little students register High • There may be a cut down on the number of teacher’s required based
on number of students registered.
• To combat this risk, there will be a great focus on advertisement for
the programme to meet the targeted audience
• Continuation of registration while classes have started until classes
are at maximum
3. Student Differentiation; students have varying High • Provide individual attention to students that need extra help
learning abilities and are at varying levels therefore • Conduct assessments to monitor performance
some may progress faster than others and so students
• Use various teaching methods to help teach basic principles, methods
results may vary based on ability and individual effort.

4. Commitment of Students and Parents where Medium • Provide constant communication with parents on progress of child
attendance is concerned
5. Commitment of the Teachers and Assistants to Low • Provide Rewarding Stipends
delivery • Provide flexible shift rotations and benefits
• Conduct monthly meetings
6. Estimation of Stakeholders Standards or Medium • Assign team member to task
Requirements and meeting those requirements • Conduct frequent liaisons with the stakeholder representative
informing of project’s progress
• Closely Monitor project’s progress, ensuring the project is on time
Quality Management
➢ To control quality of the programme a member of the team will be designated as the quality control lead to determine quality control
measures and create valid documents to measure the quality of the programme. KPI`s will be created to track the progress of the project by
the quality control lead and the Gantt chart used to illustrate timelines for the project.
➢ The Administrative Assistant has the delegation to keep minutes of meetings and create PowerPoint presentations with inclusion of relevant
documents and graphs in preparation for meetings.
➢ Inspections will be carried out by the team to ensure all aspects of the Mathematics Curriculum were covered in the lesson plan and practice
paper booklet and addressed during meetings. To ensure applicability and relevance, the lesson plan and booklet would be matched against
SEA past papers.
➢ Relevant copies of teacher’s resumes, certificates and certificate of character, insurance policy for building will be attached soft copy and
kept on file.
➢ A representative from Atlantic will be contacted near the end of completion of the project to give an internal audit of the quality of the
classroom environment and for submission of the proposed project management plan. Further to this a meeting will be held with the
stakeholder (Atlantic) to provide discussion and feedback on what is being delivered to students.

The chart above illustrates an example of how quality can be measured by a graph and presented in meetings. As a task is completed the lines
grow further apart. As tasks become behind schedule the lines grow closer together measuring whether or not the team is meeting deadlines.
Such a graph can be used during meetings to measure performance in bringing the project to completion by graphically illustrating where we
are as the team discusses pertinent issues related to the completion of the project.
