Learning Objectives
Third phase starts after a contract is drawn up and ends when the project objective is plished
Final phase involves terminating the project
Elements involved in establishing a project plan
steps in the project control process
actions to take when a project is terminated

Real World Example
te: Military Engineering
Military installations are designed, built, expanded, and enhanced with the help of project management techniques
One such example is the $37 million Fort Drum Airfield project which needed major upgrades
The project: build runways, add a couple of buildings, supplement utilities, relocate a county highway, and avoid wetlands.
Clear objectives were defined, a cohesive team developed, munications were frequent.
The team pleted the project on time and within-budget!
te: The Big Dig (Link)
This project is the plex public works project in the history of the ., and has been going on for more than a decade in Boston.
This Central Artery/Tunnel project was designed to modate 250,000 daily vehicles.
The project includes 200 separate construction contracts; 161 lane miles of highway; 15 million cubic feet of dirt; 29 miles of gas, electric, telephone, sewer, and water lines; and a tunnel that is 120 feet below street level.
Original estimates were $ billion. Recent estimates have skyrocketed to more than $14 billion.
Nicknamed: the Big Dig, the Big Lie and the Money Pit!

Planning the Project
Clearly define the project objective
Divide and subdivide the project
Define the specific activities to be performed
Graphically portray the activities in work diagram
Make a time estimate for each activity
Make a cost estimate for each activity
Calculate a project schedule and budget
This is the baseline plan

Planning the Project (Cont.)
Keep in mind:
Projects overrun their budgets, pletion dates, or only partially satisfy their technical specifications because there is no viable base
