8. Project Management Approach <br />General Approach <br />Scope development, understanding and safe execution <br />One way to drastically improve the success of your project is to determine upfront what <br />defines success for that project, get the appropriate people involved in setting the scope, <br />and make sure everyone involved knows the scope from the beginning. <br />Context understanding <br />Ultimate success can't come from people who see this as "just another project." Provide <br />and create a context for this project. Help people see the big picture and purpose for the <br />work. When people understand why the project matters and how it will change the future, <br />they will work with greater dedication and energy. <br />Time assigning <br />All projects need to include estimations on how long a task will take. Sometimes estimates <br />are full of excess, so people can feel assured they can reach the timelines. Other times <br />overly ambitious people will set time estimates that may not be realistic in the real word. <br />We must create communication that discusses this balance and help to create timelines <br />that are challenging, yet realistic. <br />People engaging <br />Projects of any size can sap energy and determination. As the manager of the project it is <br />our role to keep people inspired and on task. We remember that no project can be done <br />without people, and as a manager and leader it is our responsibility to take care of our <br />people. When we do, they will take even better care of the work. <br />Progress updating <br />Communication within the project team creates new synergy, reduces rework and time <br />loss, and maintains engagement. <br />Communications <br />JMS uses Procore cloud -based construction management software to increase project <br />efficiency, communication and accountability. Procore is accessible from anyweb browser <br />including phones, tablets and computers. Procore also drastically reduces the amount of <br />paper used on projects by using electronic delivery of documents. Procore will provide the <br />following functions for this project: <br />Access by all team members including South Bend, JMS and subcontractors <br />Electronic storage of drawings with cloud -based approval system <br />Electronic report via E-Mail delivery to all team members <br />Electronic mail (E-Mail) <br />Central storage of all progress reports and pictures <br />Reviews <br />The following reviews will be scheduled throughout the life of the project: <br />• Engineering Design and Integration reviews <br />• Progress meetings <br />
