The situation I will be analyzing will be one of my first opportunities in being a Project
manager. It was about a year ago now, I was selected to take over a project for someone
who was going on a temporary assignment. Because I was just taking over I was not a
part of the planning stages of the project. In fact, a lot of the material needed had already
been orderd as well, and a the project had technically already started. I say this because
there was one task that had already been completed. Anyhow, I was now in charge and is
was up to me to make sure that the project continued successfully. I had to pick a team,
come up with a work schedule, develop the risk management plan, and be a part of and
oversee the execution of the project.
The project was to remodel a training building for the squarons Emegency Mangament
section. The building was a one room building about 1,800 square feet in size and in
mostly good condition. However, it was left unfinished and the roof needed to be
replaced. When I say unfinished I mean you walked in and you could see the wall studs,
the roof trusses and the underside of the roof itself. There were no electrical outlets, lights
or HAVC system. It was determined that the building would need walls, ceiling, outlets,
lights, an HVAC system, but most of all the roof would need to be completely redone.
This being one of my first experiences as Project Manager I was both excited and
nervous. I made sure to brush up on how to do everthing the project required. Both so I
knew what I was doing and so that I could train those under me who had not done this
type of project before. I learned a great deal of things during project, and I am sure that
during this analysis I will learn more.
