Project  Implementation  Plan  
It  Includes:  
What  activities  can  produce  expected  project  outputs?  
What  is  the  sequence  of  these  activities?  
What  is  the  time  frames  for  these  activities?  
Who  will  be  responsible  for  carrying  out  each  activity?  
 
 
Project  Implementation  Plan  
includes:  
The  following  methods  are  used  to  answer  above  question:  
1.  Gantt  Chart  
2.  Critical  Path  Method  (CPM)  or  Network  Analysis  
3.  Project  Evaluation  and  Review  Techniques  (PERT)  
4.  Simple  formats  
 
Quality  Management  
Processes  that  includes  all  activities  of  performing  project  that:  
 -­‐  Determines  quality  policies,  objectives  and  responsibilities  
Therefore  project  will  satisfy  the  needs  for  which  it  was  started  
Three  Quality  management  processes:  
1)  Quality  Planning:    Identifying  which  quality  standards  are  
relevant  to  the  project  and  determining  how  to  satisfy  them  
2)  Perform  Quality  Assurance:  application  of  planned,  systematic,  
quality  activities  to  ensure  that  the  project  will  employ  all  
processes  needed  to  meet  requirements  
3)  Perform  Quality  Control:    Involves  monitoring  speciKic  project  
results  to  determine  whether  they  comply  with  relevant  quality  
standards  and  identifying  ways  to  eliminate  causes  of  
unsatisfying  results  
Task  Supervision  
Task  supervision  is  a  teaching  learning  process  which  provides:  
-­‐  constant  observation,  monitoring,  evaluation,  guidance  to  workers  
To  enable  them  to  perform  their  activities  effectively  and  efKiciently  
maintaining  required  standards  
 
Techniques  of  Supervision:  
1)  Observation  E.g.  Field  visit  
2)  Interview  and  questioning  
3)  Individual  and  group  conferences  
4)  Performance  evaluation-­‐  self,  peer,  supervisor,  and  general  
public  evaluation  
5)  Verbal  and  written  reports  
Instrument  Adjustments  
Process  of  bringing  various  parts  of  an  instrument  into  proper  
relationship  with  one  another  
To  be  qualiKied  surveyor,  you  must  have  knowledge  for  proper  
adjustment:  
1)  Be  familiar  with  principle  upon  which  adjustments  are  based  
2)  Know  methods  or  tests  used  to  determine  if  an  instrument  is  out  
of  adjustment  
3)  Know  procedure  and  sequence  for  making  adjustments  
4)  Be  able  to  tell  what  effect  an  adjustment  of  one  element  will  
have  on  other  part  
5)  Understand  effect  of  each  adjustment  when  it  is  actually  used  
for  measurement  
Output  Management  
Processes  that  includes  all  activities  of  performing  project  that:  
 -­‐  Delivering  the  Kinal  outcome    
Organizing,  managing  different  task  to  deliver  expected  result
