Inquiry/Reflection

The implementation of the project has progressed positively; however, it has not been without significant challenges related to time constraints, budget management, project oversight, and resource allocation. Ensuring adherence to all agreed-upon constraints has proven to be difficult. Consequently, I have had to reassess both the budget and the time required for project completion, due to various adjustments made during the implementation phase.

Project management has presented several obstacles, particularly concerning the training and educational resources necessary for personnel. We encountered a shortage of training materials, which resulted in a two-day delay in the scheduled training sessions. Given that the project involves personnel who are currently on duty, effective communication has been challenging. Most project team members are actively engaged in daily work activities, which sometimes hinders their availability for project-related discussions.

Additionally, there were instances where meetings had to be postponed because not all critical members were able to attend. This necessitated rescheduling to a time when all essential participants were off duty and available. To address these challenges, we developed a comprehensive human resource plan aimed at managing and controlling the availability of team members. This plan has been instrumental in ensuring that we can coordinate project activities more effectively while accommodating the schedules of all team members.
