Review Post 1 below. Further the conversation by entering their data in QM for Windows to get a completion schedule. Share the output from QM for Windows and discuss it. What does their Gantt Chart look like?
Post 1: Project management techniques. Select a possible project management situation from your work or school experience and develop a project plan with at least five activities and with at least one predecessor activity. Create an activity network for your project. From your activity network, determine the critical path and identify any slack within your project. As you develop your project network be sure to think critically about each activity and use your best estimate of the time for the activity. How has the process of developing a project plan impacted how you might manage projects in the future?
Converting to paperless Charting
- Project plan and time limit
- Purchase scanning equipment- 1 week
- Update server to increase space- 1 month
- Purchase external back-up to protect data-1 month (done with #2)
- Update computer equipment and software-2 months
- Scan all existing charts-8 months (due to volume)
- Determine/update required documents -2 weeks
- Create standard operating procedure (SOP)-1 week
- Train staff to implement new procedures- 2 weeks
- Considerations
¨ After going live some revisions could be made to SOP
¨ After going live some revisions could be made on documentation
¨ After going live staff may need additional training
- At least one predecessor activity.
- Purchasing the scanning equipment is required before scanning existing charts.
- Activity network and determine the critical path.
- Updating computer equipment can cause delays due to time needed for systems to be down and installed after work thus causing problems once operations are back up and running
- Scanning all existing charts could be delayed to due current staff scanning in between other job responsibilities.
- Identify any slack.
- Purchasing scanning equipment
- Updating documents
The planning process in its entirety is beneficial in organizing a plan to implement a new idea. I actually created and saw this process through at the dental office that I currently work for. I am unsure of all the figures involved because they were finalized by the owner of the business, but I followed each step through to the end. To this day, we are still working out small kinks here in there because different scenarios come to lite causing us to slightly adjust our written procedure. If we would have brainstormed the process through like I have shown it would have been a lot less stressful and time consuming.
