PROJ6002 Scope And Time Management Plan Assignment Solution

Background

St. Dismas Medical Centre is an urban non-profit, 450-bed rehabilitation hospital that experienced significant decline in its inpatient patient admissions. The major cause for declined inpatient admission rates was popular use of seat belts and helmets due to which lesser people were being severely injured. By realizing the need for strategic initiatives, it was realized that the Medical Centre could be expanded for including a for-profit assisted living facility. 

In the current report, a scope statement and Work Breakdown Structure for St. Dismas Assisted Living Facility project has to be made. This scope statement will include project scope statement, project deliverables, project assumptions, project constraints and project exclusion.  The scope management plan outlines the tasks that are included in the project and the constraints faced by the project  (Cho & Gibson, 2001).
