Introduction
A project as defined by the Project Management Institute refers to a temporary activity performed in order to create a distinct result, product, or service (Yin, 2010). During the execution phase is where the project’s actual implementation occurs and it is at this stage that project managers experience the real challenges of the project. It is at this stage that project managers get to find out the current progress of the project and if it has deviated from the original plan that is if any of the triple constraints has deviated that is cost, scope or time normally resulting from issues that are unforeseen. Whenever an element from the triple constraints deviates, it is up to the project manager to carry out measures of adjusting …show more content…
As a project manager, the benefits of the project, in general, should be considered and this ultimately influences the decision on which elements to alter in the triple constraint. As a project manager in charge of implementing the tracking and identification system, the most important specification emphasized by the stakeholders is the scope of the project and so as the lead, this specification remains the pillar to the entire project. As the project manager, the new patient tracking and identification system will be beneficial to the hospital at it will minimize time consumed to search for hospital records and costs incurred. This implies that the time factor is of paramount importance for the system to be implemented on time and as scheduled therefore saving the hospital future expenses, therefore the need to increase the number of people working on the project system to ensure the schedule and quality are not affected (Yin,
