Project management tools

Project management involves complex responsibilities and activities. Project management tools are various aids that have been developed to assist the people implementing the project perform various tasks and execute various responsibilities. Some of the tools include Gantt charts, logic network, PERT Chart, Product Breakdown Structure (PBS) and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) (Kostalova and Tetrevova, 2018). Project management tools are essential for various purposes. First, the tools aid in outlining the objectives of the project. Secondly, project management tools ensure that the project is completed on time and various tasks are accomplished within the stipulated time. Thirdly, project management tools ensure that the complex project is broken down to various executable activities hence ensure that various tasks are handled concurrently hence saving on funds and time. Project management tools ensure effective use of various resources including labor, personnel, materials and equipment. Project management tools also create information and control systems. The project manager has to communicate effectively to various parties including other staff implementing the project and project shareholders. 

Project charter

Project charter refers to a formal document that describes various vital attributes of the project. Project charter describes various stakeholders and their roles. The document also describes the objectives of the project and risks involved in implementing the project (Demirkesen and Ozorhon, 2017). The project charter also demonstrates a general overview of the project’s budget. 

Project Scope Document 

A project scope document demonstrated various crucial attributes of a project including the deliverables and their features. A scope document provides a reference point for stakeholders and team members in case they want to refer to the project guidelines and measure the success of the project. The scope document provides a justification for the project including the need for the project and how the end results will solve the identified need. The scope document also demonstrates the boundaries of the project. Additionally, the scope document demonstrates the objectives of the research hence determining the targets that the team aims to achieve. The document also demonstrates project deliverables. The deliverables include the products to be created, marketing materials and advertisement campaigns. Project exclusions are also highlighted in the scope documents which are applications that are intentionally not included in the project. The scope document also evaluates the project constraints. There are three main project constraints that include time, financial resources and scope. The document also evaluates the assumptions made when carrying out the project.

___________High___________________________________________________________

Mission Statement: To ensure Compliance of emergency department staff with wearing PPE

Measureable Project Objectives 

When should emergency department staff wear PPE to ensure comprehensive prevention against covid-19?

Why are some emergency department staff reluctant to wear PPE?

How effective are PPEs in protecting medical staff against covid-19?

Which strategies are most effective in ensuring that medical staffs wear PPEs?

Who are responsible in ensuring that emergency department staff wear PPE?

Justification of Project:

Covid-19 has led to the death of numerous people across the world. Medical staff are among the most exposed groups to covid-19 infections hence the need to protect them. PPEs have been proposed as among the most effective tools in protecting health care providers from the disease. However, more healthcare professionals continue to be infected despite the introduction of the PPEs. The project evaluates why emergency department staff fail to wear the PPEs and comply with guidelines on wearing the equipment. The project is crucial in reducing the spread of covid-19 among health care providers. 

Implementation Strategy:

The project will be accomplished by conducting a research on the research question.

Project Resources 

The research will be conducted by the researcher. 

Completion Date:

The project will be accomplished by 31st March 2021

Measures of Success 

The success of the project will be achieved when the barriers of complying with PPE guidelines are established. Additionally, the success of the project will be determined by determining strategies to ensure health care staff wear the PPEs. 

Assumptions:

The project will assume that the PPE equipment provided to medical staff are appropriate and up to the required standard and infection can only occur if the medical personnel fails to wear the equipment. 

Constraints:

The project will be successful if there are sufficient studies and data to conduct the research. The project will also be accomplished if there is sufficient time.
