So now we're going to move to the implementation stage. So we want to follow the plan, we want to implement the project control. So in this project, we're going to have a test list regular meetings, a Gantt chart. And we're going to use internet again on this as project dashboard. So let's go and have a look at what that looks like there. As you can see, we've got the performance review.

Now, on the website. We've got the test lists. We've also got the Gantt chart, we've got a meetings calendar here. So the project manager now help we have these things on the internet. We have controls in place, we have our project manager, and it's a dashboard that everybody can access and see a lot we've mentioned before, check out our internet course, or consider some type of project management dashboard if you're going to get into A lot of project management. So we're going to follow the plan that a project manager is going to create the initial task list and assigns them and books and meeting days in the calendar.

And now our project management dashboard goes live, also want to create the Gantt chart or the project. So let's just have a brief look at a Gantt chart. If you're not familiar, and you're not seeing one before, this is essentially what a Gantt chart looks like. So here's an example Gantt chart you could use with created issues in Google Sheets. And what it basically does it gives us a start and an end date for each part of the project. For instance, this is for a slightly different projects, but this is set of continuous improvement team and it's the time and the finish.

But train first line managers which was their great continuous improvement ideas mechanism again, start finish there, and train shop floor workers so we can see we have To have all these free in place before we can do this. So when we're implementing the plan, one of the things we want don't want to do is get licks addiction. So we don't be sitting there staring at lists all day. And playing with lists, we want to focus on task completion. That's where our focus should be. Where is the task?

How close are we to completing it. And then if you are using report based system, you will need to update those reports. Now, I know when you use an intranet system, like the one we've created, that is its own report system. And as you update the tasks in that system, it actually creates its own reports. That's a very, very simple system. Now, obviously, you might still have to create reports but with the internet system, it's going to be very simple and easy to do.

So I would recommend looking at an internet based system for project management, so we need to watch out for intervention events. So in this instance, we want to keep an eye on the intervention data, which is task completion in Gantt chart timelines. So what that means is that we might have two types of problems small decision time, a big decision time. So let's have a look at small decision time. We might need to amend the project adapt change, increase expenditure using the contingency funds. But that means that we've already got a contingency so let's just say we decide that Jane needs a half day additional training and that's covered in the contingency, NASA small decision.

So we can change that make an intervention there, on the small decision that we can modify. smaller tasks as long as they don't impact the main deadline, or don't exceed the expenditure we originally planned. Now comes big decision time. So this is any major failing that will affect the completion date or maybe the budget. In that instance. We need to revisit a SMART goal and we're going to need to rewrite and amend that SMART goal.

We need to communicate the new goal and we need to manage expectations. And a tip is to track changes. Don't change the original SMART goal, create a new one, and then you can see the changes when you go back and review the project during the pro Peck review stage which we're going to come to later. So if we get a major failing, we want to redefine the project. It's really important that we understand that we don't want to keep trying to patch it. This is gone.

This is a situation now that has gone outside of scope of the project. We've failed on some major point and we need to communicate that and re establish the project goals.
