MGT5PMT Case Study On Royale Pizza – Project Management

Royale Pizza – Project Management

• Developing a Set of Relevant and Achievable Goals and Their Measurements

Goal setting is considered as a vital element of project planning (Andersen, Grude & Haug, 2009). As a project manager Royale Pizza project, it is imperative to see beyond the typical needs, timelines, and budgets and put emphasis on setting SMART goals; SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound (Lawlor & Hornyak, 2012). In addition, it is essential to have specific and clear project goals.

Broad Goal: Project management of ‘Royale Pizza’ renovation and expansion as the restaurant owners aims to serve other types of food, reduce their food waste, and increase their profitability by 25%.  

• Specific: To complete the design, procurement and delivery, construction, installation and painting activities in 6 months with a budget of AU$40,000 approximately.  
• Measureable: progress will be measured by conducting weekly meetings with the key stakeholders and other pertinent parties and progress report will be shared along with Gantt Chart representation. 
• Achievable: this goal is very pragmatic and achievable if every member in the project pitches in. 
• Relevant: Our goal is realistic because it has been carefully analyzed that design phase will be completed in 1 month with a planned budget of AU$ 5,000, procurement and delivery will take 2 months with a projected budget of AU$ 18,000, construction will take a month with a calculated budget of AU$ 7,000, installation and painting will be done in 2 months with a considered budget of AU$ 10,000.
• Time-bound: It will be achieved during the next 6 months and performance will be measured by both our actions as well as the ensuing upshots.

In order to determine the scope of Royale Pizza renovation and expansion, key processes that will be followed are given below:  

• Define the Requirements for the Expansion and Renovation of Royale Pizza
